Even if you aren't able to end up doing that, I still think it's going to end up being a great game. I'm not a coder because while I can read some programs to maybe get a basic understanding of what they might do, actually doing it and not causing it to go up in smoke is a completely different story, so while I can't speak for your experience with programming like other people who work on VNs and other types of games would, I do understand how tedious it likely is. If you can find a way that makes doing so easier, then that's great! If you can't, then it's also perfectly fine. At the end of the day it is your project, so don't let a rando on the internet like me pressure you into something that's too tedious if you can't find an easier solution!
Edit: ok, so I may have just realized that my phrasing here could potentially come off as sarcastic and/or rude and I wanted to say that if it did that wasn't the intent of the message. Maybe I'm just reading too much into what I'm saying but I just thought I'd add this little edit here just in case.
