Oh, I wanted the panel to be like this, don't get me wrong. I love the user interface. Like the old dungeon crawler type of games or even newer games like disco elysium. "Just so you know about it" - sounds a bit like you make your personal preference sound like facts. the interface got tested with my audience.
And yes, there is already an option implemented that lets you skip text. If the text bothers you that much, just press "control" or the skip button. it skips the text just like it does with Femdom City. That means you will miss the story and the context but you only seem to be here for the scenes so that should be no problem for you.
I could go on on what supporters decided for mantis but you seem to try to fish in the dark here anyway. So if you think that it means the end for MANTIS it might be time for you to move on
