As far as enjoying this game goes, I'd liken this to the disgaea series. It's grind heavy, but there's a lot of variety in the things you can do to break up the monotony. Every single thing you can do helps progress faster in every other venue. Gaining money helps gain powers that help with combat that gets you influence that gets you training that improves your stats that make it easier to influence people, that gets you favors, that gets you jobs, that gets you influence and money, that gets you more powers, that gets you stats, that makes jobs more successful, that gets you more money, that gets you more training, that makes it even easier to influence people.
There's a constant sense of progression, but you can't let yourself get bogged down in minutia. Don't worry about specific goals and just push forward with literally anything and your guaranteed to eventually become a god. If you play the game slow, trying to do a single repetitive thing you'll probably burn out. Just generally know what you wanna do and how to do it then blaze forward and start hitting buttons. You won't max out any stats in your first month and you probably won't fully corrupt a person in your first six months, so it's hard to play slow and careful and still have fun.
Man... now I wanna play disgaea again.
