This game is just kind of... boring and feels like it purposely wastes time.
Loading screens can take several seconds sometimes, going from North to South or vice versa over and over is extremely annoying, the skip text feature is awful since you can suddenly reengage conversation if you hit Z/Enter too many times while holding Ctrl, and it feels like the interface is designed to waste your time, like for example, the meaningless sorting of categories upon categories to use an item.
Story wise it's yadda yadda yadda I don't care. It feels as shallow as the princesses who will love you if you burn a bunch of candy for them and whom go to war with each other for little reason.
I like the combat a little and the art/animations are nice but that's about it. It's a bunch of good animations/art attached to a bloated whale of a game. This game has a lot wrong with it mechanically I feel, as it continued to test my patience and not in a good way.
Update a year later:
None of these issues have been fixed. Going north to south is still a 5 minute chore you do repeatedly. Dialogue skipping is still trash. There is still a lot of mechanical time wasters that get in the way of the fun. This developer has never heard the term QoL and it tanks the replay value.
