This game really calls attention the notion of normalizing your own behavior and being confronted by the reality that your behavior isn't the norm. I honestly thought people playing Ren'Py games defaulted to putting on skip unseen. The creators of these games tend to go overboard on the written content in games. Generally they just need to string together pornography in a logical form, however they end up writing out somewhere between 10k (1/4 of a short novel) to 120k words EACH UPDATE.
It's simply padding out a game with often unnecessary written form content, and while it may be useful to have written erotic content for the people who enjoy that, writing books every update and then adding it to your giant game leads me to believe that people would activate skipping IN THE LEAST.
But, alas, I have been confronted with a number of people who have honestly spent multiple hours on single playthroughs in a game which takes a little over 1 hour to reach the late game content where most of what they want resides. The game is even designed somewhat well for this format of play, giving indicators on when to check things and fairly quickly (a playthrough or two) making obvious the waste of time certain content is unless you specifically enjoy it (hypno and fuckstagram unless the walkthrough app tells you to use them).
If you have issues with the game seeming to take too long: turn off hypno, ignore fuckstagram, check the map in the evenings, and check the walkthrough/get apps from time to time. And stop checking the map in the Evenings in the late game because the entire system stops being used. The Internet and Tasks are worthless, you don't engage with them in a meaningful way aside from finding a job and finding Lana accommodation. Fuckstagram and Hypno are just time sinks unless the Walkthrough app tells you to go to them. And 99.5% of the time not having indicators for texts and Wifespy is trustworthy, while the 0.5% isn't pressing (although maybe give Lana's phone a check from time to time). Many of the systems in this game exist TO WASTE TIME. However, if you enjoy the system, use them to your heart's content, maybe you like seeing dudes lusting on FaceInstFuckstagram, watching the hypno videos, etc. But the game itself doesn't really call for this information in most circumstances.
And if you are not a fan of Ava Addams, you can currently safely turn off her storyline with no repurcussions other than not seeing her.
