I'm taking the novel part of a VN very seriously, so I don't have any problem whatsoever with any amount of text as long as the text has substance to it, but when you end up with six to eight sentences to express something that could be accurately and tactfully conveyed with no more than 6-8 words, keeping the general tone of the conversation, that's just the epitome of superfluousness. And this is coming from a guy who is a complete stranger to brevity.
I've played 356 individual RenPy VNs so far (those are the ones easy to count because you just have to count your save folders), and this one was literally the first one where I thought discarding entire sentences instead of shortening them would fully preserve every single bit of information down to the subcontext and general tone of each conversation.
While it makes for quite a bit of content, allowing you to spread your images fairly thin, more often than not I end up clicking half a dozen times and realize I've learned absolutely nothing, because I'm reading the intro to a preamble of someone sugar coating something before beginning to make an actual point. You are not making conversation, you're wasting time trying to build up to a conversation.
And this is annoying, because otherwise you've got something good here, so your story is good, it's just... excessive in a bad way.
