This game is grindy as hell. The day is divided into 4 time periods. In each time period you can either talk to an NPC to gain 1 affection, do an activity with an NPC to gain a bit of money 2 or 3 affection, or in the two earliest time periods you can work to gain 10 dollars in the morning then 5 dollars in the afternoon. If you work a morning shift you're locked in to do an afternoon shift, too, so you can't just take the more-efficient morning shifts and then use the afternoon shift to do an activity and gain affection and money that way. At night, you can't do anything except go to sleep or strip characters while they're sleeping if you have enough affection with them. You're also charged 5 dollars every night, effectively capping your monetary gains at ten dollars per day. You can spend money buying gifts, which cost ten dollars. A gift given to the proper NPC (the gifts tell you which NPCs to give them to, so you dn't have to play a guessing game there at least) gives +3 affection. You can give two gifts per day, but outside of a few edgecases like sometimes being able to pick flowers (a gift only liked by one character) or incredibly rarely being able to fish up a tuna with a worm that costs... I think 3 dollars? can't remember off the top of my head, not bothered to check. Outside of that you can ultimately only afford one gift per day. This means, charitably, you're capped at 6 affection per day for one character. It takes 60 affection to get even the most base level progress in any scenes. 90 affection to see all scenes. That's 10 days per character for base scenes, 15 per character for all scenes. Oh, and seeing a scene will take a time block so you're effectively "charged" ten dollars for a morning scene and 5 dollars for an afternoon scene (in cost of not being able to work), meaning it's hard to grind a different character while seeing the rewards of your grind for another character.
I'd almost be willing to reccomend this game in spite of the grind if the scenes were good. If they had good writing or great artwork, then I'd say "play this game with cheats from the thread" or "use an RPGMaker save editor to progress." But ultimately the scenes have minimal to no writing, scenarios in the scene are not particularly interesting, characters are barely established or given personality, and the artwork is... charming and cute but not really hot or sexy at all. A few of the bits of artwork and expression reminded me of Totosama's style so I thought I may wind up liking it but it's ultimately just... not good enough. Too flat and sketchy looking with very weak expressions. So even if you do have a way to skip the incredibly huge grind, I still have to recommend that you also skip the game. There's nothing in it worth skipping to.
