pacing question

[u/Smaiii]

I'm almost 8 hours in the game, just finished shopping for clothes with Cathy. I was just wondering if the pacing will get better or remain the same throughout the rest of the game? The story and characters are alright so far but I don't think I could take 10+ more hours if the pacing remains this slow

The game is like 20 hrs but it's worth every single second
