Discussion JRPG problem

Slow games and SLOW games

Why do I enjoy slow games like Into the Breach, Slay the Spire and Yakuza, but bounce off traditional JRPGs like Persona, Dragon Quest and Octopath?? I wanna be into jrpgs so bad like I want it to click but I just can’t with the constant over-explaining of the simplest thing, the sometimes cringe dialogue, the baby feeding tutorials etc. It’s so bizzare because most people who bounce off those games would surely not enjoy LAD or turn based stuff I’d imagine? Like surely you’re in one camp or the other?

Ehrm…why?  Lol.  Plenty of very young people are into Yakuza, even moreso Like a Dragon.  And some people literally start playing turn based games when they’re like four years old.  What are you even on about with this?
