I never got a definitive answer either. From what I have played you don't have a say in many things, aside from unimportant banter comebacks everything is on rails. Being given the choice to skip only stops you from seeing lewd content, it still happens off screen so it's just watch it and know what going on or don't and have the game play out like you do.
It may change the farther along it goes but right now, for me at least, it is way to kinetic. I like to have a say in what happens in the games I play. On that note as well, I personally think the banter go on for quite a bit longer than it needs to. It's not bad but when the same back and forth goes on for three paragraphs it can be tedious, especially with this one and the limited player agency. After playing it reminded me of an adult version of the "Trails Of" series.
