You can skip the combat if that's not your thing, bottom right button.

Ok, i will do that if i need to, but i need to test if doing this auto gives the xp and stuffs that winning the battle manually would give or not, the other part of the game are great other than the combat, but hopefully new characters and stuffs will happen someday along the way when they are ready.
