okay, so I gave it a second chance skipped ahead past the intro, got to the free roam interface and got as far as the "duel" and if anything the story is just getting more frustrating than the exposition vomit, every single scene is just assumption makes conflict, mc does something dumb, random shit happens, nothing makes any damn sense and the english being not so great just adds to the incoherency and frustration
and it looked so good, a shame that it contains so much of my most hated story beat of assumptions getting way out of hand and causing absurd drama/conflict
