I just started today. Do I actually need to raise affection points for every girls or focus on the girls I like?

You will eventually need to raise every girl to proceed. Highly recommend downloading the Guide mod to make things much simpler because it does get convoluted. Good luck

Yes, at some point you may need other girls progress to keep progressing the story or other girls
Everyone, so far there are only 4 romances that you can avoid.
\
As others have said. This game uses visual storytelling that may not transform to an only text medium. Sometimes there are unnerving contrast between narration in the text box and the actual scene before your eyes. Some people around here who are both smart and observant can understand some of it. Some people can just get the feeling "there is something wrong here."I can't say if it'll be worth it or not, but I guess I'll find something else to enjoy.
any recommendations?
I've played ripples, ravager, once in a lifetime, sisterly lust, light of my life and a few others.
some of them were perfect in regards to me not missing anything, since not a lot was purely visual, and also the parts that were? you could understand what's happening from the text alone after
Hell, one of the first events in the game was:
Visual: You see a room covered with armless clocks.
Text: A narration about how worms are making a home inside your body.
Sound: A joyful children song about learning alphabet, with every letter has a word with it. ex :A! Apple! B! Banana. etc
What i meant to say was, this is a diffucult game to understand . You need to read the text carefully, translate the hex code and ceaser cyper, listen the music and try to understand if it has any connection to what is happening, think about why there is a repeating theme of whales, spiders, moons in the background scene.
Trying to put these things into text wouldn't work.
Recommendation: Corporate Culture. This game can be played by built-in text to voice feature. While it gets updated once a year, i have nothing but good things to say about it.

thank you so much for the recommendation, I do appreciate it, I'm going to go check that game out. if you got anymore? do throw them my way, won't ever say no to more games to play lol
I guess some games really are more visual than novel, so it's hard to play or understand unless the dev makes special effort to make it more accessible for us blind/visually impaired folks.
Some though, you can get by, even if you miss a few things here and there, the dialog would make it more understandable.
Guess it just depends on the game, and the dev who makes it, and on how much effort they are willing to put in to make their game accessible to more audience

The AVN mod is also very good, and I would recommend it over the guide mod for the sake of catching up quickly

There are a couple of times where raising the stats of girls you like gives you a little extra, but the game is designed to have a way of you seeing every event / scene in the game. General consensus is viewing every event (green path) is the intended way of experiencing the game.
Sometimes you might even want to consider not viewing an event for a while to grind up stats. When you've viewed every character event available the game will proceed with main events that will progress the chapter. If you need to do some grinding that's how you give yourself the space.
Grinding tip: If you have spare days probably in chapter 2 that you're just trying to mill through to the night or something, grind for Osako, Chinami and Tsubasa affection in that order, at least to 30. You can reach points where you need 20 extra affection for them before you can see their next event, and you can only earn 2 per week due to the probably afternoon timeslot needed for them.
Highly recommend the guide mod, AutoVN is there if affection grinding would put you off of the game otherwise, but you will forget that side content exists.
You should know about URM and how it can be used to skip / fix atrocious problems in the game, but never use it to make dialogue choices / view alternate dialogue paths without rolling back before the split and letting it play out naturally. You can break your saves and make diagnosis impossible since checks for missed events are randomly placed inside unrelated events.
You should also block "bonus" from being monitored as a variable unless you want to read twice as much text and click several hundred times, it governs the old SFW mode LiL had for a while. You'll miss out on some random lore but you could always ask about it here.

Is the Reset Puzzle guide out of date? I followed it for Reset #6 but I'm missing an option? Also some of the things say to choose "check the main room" when that is never an option as you start in the main room.

Quick look, those check the main room steps immediately follow being somewhere that isn't the main room. Like the kitchen and your cell phone.
Looks generally accurate, where are you stuck?

Making the hot pot, I added everything but still don't have "Finish the Hot Pot"
I ran into this when I first did the event. I inadvertently skipped over like step 9 or 10 and missed one item.(I think it was a parrot)
If you know for sure you did a step, mark it off and try those that you are not certain of. If you are sure you did them all, just repeat the steps from the start.

There's two steps missing IIRC but I don't remember what they are explicitly, I know one requires you check one of the furnitures again, I think the fridge?

I did those steps and there was no parrot, there a "dog" (actually a squirrel)
I went back through every step and nothing changes

I just completed the reset 6 like a week ago, with the help of puzzle guide. And there was no update between then and now. So most probably you missed something.

Ah just remembered, the lockers.
Its missing a step to check them all and unlock the last one.
I had one key unclaimed that I needed for it from one of the kitchen areas.
