Ended up giving this a go.... I wouldn't recommend it.
This one's kind of a mess all round. The focus on RNG mechanics means that you can go weeks in-game without anything happening. The fact that there is a dedicated skip button means the developers were well aware that players needed to skip vast portions of their game. The MTL isn't the worst on this site, but that doesn't mean its good. Expect odd word choices, wrong pronouns etc. In VNs, they usually give you a bunch of QOL options - text speed, skip unread etc. This game has none of them.
There's also a bunch of technical issues with the game. It isn't optimised for windows 11 and did not fit within my screen (at least on my pc). The save slots were clipping the top & bottom of my screen. The gallery is also buggy. If you view an event and hold the skip button, then it will simultaneously return you to the gallery screen (which is good) and start playing the game proper (which is bizarre). You end up in this bizarre position where you are playing the actual game while the gallery icons are superimposed on top.
All in all, hard pass
