Oh, that is definitely weird. I'm really sorry for all the inconvenieces, but thank you for letting me know about it! I'll try to fix it to the best of my ability! For now, you can use the skip button if you turn on the "unread text skip" in the config. I hope that helps! If it still doesn't work, I can personally email you the game file with a save slot that begins in chapter 5. Again, so sorry for the inconvenience!
