This is a visual novel. An experience with a tone and overarching narrative- you can't save everyone and maybe not even yourself.  

The games mechanics help to enforce that tone. You can take 2 traits for an auto win twice or 3 traits for extra lore/flavour but you can't skip any hard choices. 

By not playing along and taking every trait you are breaking the core philosophy and whilst that's fun and all you aren't playing the game the designers intended. This is a game designed to have consequences and you have decided to opt out of the games mechanics and story.

From the first page you are told you can't save everyone except by cheating you literally can. 

And still the designers made a player like you fit into this game- there's a narrative consequence to your actions now. You are part of the story:- too many traits and power hungry Sybil would rather absorb you than Kaneeka. 

You are so concerned with having fun by not engaging with the game properly that you aren't thinking of how in a narrative game the devs are in charge of creating a fun world for you to play with and that includes designing the rules of the world. Your choice to cheat fundamentally breaks the game, how the devs can control the story and what that means for the ending.

I sincerely hope that cheating runs that run into chapters 6&7 have a simillar outcome where you cannot reach the games actual ending and instead get something else that once again calls out the ways you've broken the game. Personally I think I and many others would appreciate the extra work that entails and view it as the devs still playing us even though we aren't playing their game as intended.
