I came away from this with one strong impression: this felt a lot like playing Small Talk: The VN. I don't feel like this is necessarily to be attributed to the game belonging to the Slice of Life genre. Usually in SoL the game at least focuses on the lives of the characters. The uniqueness of Beginning Anew with You is that all the talk is pretty weightless: there is a lot of talk about videogames, pets, music, etc.
It is pretty well written though! I kind of like the beginning of the story, where the small talk fills the function of depicting the MC approaching the wolf and breaking the ice with him. I just wish something a bit more substantive had followed these initial interactions.
The elements are all there though: the writing and the presentation were effective, I just wasn't a big fan of the story.
