Sorry that you're having trouble. We're adding in more QOL to help but also do remember the point of the game is to meet and interact with people. If you only do what you need to progress through the story you're going to miss out on a lot of things.
I understand that, but that does not help with my frustrations with the game. Instead of meeting new people, I'm in an endless loop of meeting the same ones with no surefire way to "progress" (meaning meeting more people, unlocking new interactions with people, unlocking new kinks, etc.)
I'm sure you will find a solution to this eventually and I'm rooting for you, but until then, I'd rather wait.
