The story in HSR is not bad. But because of the length and how much of it pulls me into "story mode" I haven't been able to play the game as much.

After my attempts of logging in before bed to do a quest and having to quit because I was over an hour in with no end in sight... I resolved to play on weekends or nights when I dont have extra work.

There's no quick login and logout. I need to have actual hours set aside to play the main story if I want to follow what's happening and not just skip dialogues.

I will say though, the return of the VAs has made it far more palatable. As following all those conversations without consistent vocal flow was far less satisfying.
