Sadly as great as the characters may be it falls into the same problems as nearly all other sandbox games, time and location based scenes. This game really could use an option to jump to next scene in a quest.
I am quite liking this game. It does quite well giving meaningful character building. The only sad part of doing a lot of character building is the main plot is slower.
This sadly has the same problem as a lot of other dating sim and/or sandbox games. You have to repeat scenes and (related to sandbox games) the main story takes a backseat.
While I really like this game the one big problem it has is the same with most games with a large cast of LI's, you don't get much time to really get to know and connect with most of them.
This game like most dating sims is just very hard for me to be pulled into it. I am here for good stories more so then any sort of gameplay.
Having said that, Good luck dev!
