Hold W to skip. There are several RPGM cheat tools out there that also can be used to speed the pace of the game. One I use is from some Chinese Patreon that's free but has a premium version that has priority features. It translates Chinese and Japanese variables as well to english/spanish. Anyways one feature is a speed hack that runs the game at what ever speed you want, In tend to go for 2.5x.
