Hey, I actually played this game awhile back and rediscovered it again in my files while cleaning up my drives, iirc it was grindy already will this remake/rework be even more grindy? ( busy man that didn't really like grindy aspects of games and wanted to jump into the lewd ). I felt that the pacing was fine even when I was skipping a lot of stuff ( holding that ctrl button)

It was grindy... maybe years ago, but over the years, I changed that aspect and left the grindy part for the hard mode.

For some time now, there has been an easy mode, which is designed for people who only want to focus on reading or skip all the tedious content. For example, levelling up a girl requires you to spend time with her once, instead of several times, to earn experience points.

As for the revamp/remake, it's along the same lines, and I even think it's easier than before since I've simplified several RPG aspects and the hard mode no longer exists... Still, for someone like you, I always recommend the easy mode!
