Some people, for some insane reason, like minigames.
I like having gameplay in VNs sometimes. I also like having minigames in regular games as well, like all the side stuff you can do in the Yakuza games. I will say though, that I don't care for the minigames in Artemis and wouldn't miss them if they were gone.

Depends on the minigame really. Some I hate and some I enjoy a lot and others in between.

I mostly agree with you. I don’t mind mini-games in a visual novel as long as they fit well and are enjoyable. The problem is that some mini-games can feel out of place, overly challenging, or simply tedious, especially when replaying a game and wanting to skip the less enjoyable parts to focus on what really matters in a playthrough.

That is why I believe players should always have the option to skip certain mini-games. This way, they can tailor their experience and enjoy the game in their own way. Unfortunately, many mini-games are not very engaging which is disappointing, particularly when developers put effort into including them. But that is just how it goes sometimes.

Unskippable mingames are a dick move. So is missing routes by skipping them.
I agree but I guess you are not mentioning Veronica route in this game right? But in case you are well you don't really miss Veronica route, you just don't get all the affinity points you could get by doing them and a few more dialogue/interaction and of course the ability to call her in chapter 6 for more points.

At least from what I can see from the code with URM so far and by looking at Mr Bubu walkthrough also. Unless that variable you get by doing one of the minigames (or if the affinity points in all that is crucial for her path) is a condition for us to stay in her path in the future. Again all that only if you weren't referring about Artemis and Veronica route in particular but only in general and that I completely agree.

Way too long and not hardcore enough
If you feel the story drags or just isn’t your thing in an AVN, or you’re mostly here for the porn, and if it’s not hardcore enough or feels too tame, then you might want to check out other games on F95 or porn movies on their respective platforms that better match what you’re looking for. That simply means this kind of story-driven game isn’t really for you and there’s nothing wrong with that. You just have different expectations that don’t quite fit this style of game.
