The art style and music go together quite well, and the book rescuing is ok, but with no purpose, I quickly got bored.
For your first jam, though, the only described implementation I could not appreciate is the sorting mechanic. I just right clicked to delete things from the inventory, collected 5 more things, then right clicked 5 more times.
I believe you will succeed if you give yourself the patience and gusto to grow in your discipline.
