You gotta learn how to skip extraneous texts in any atlus game.
Once you understand the skip points(anything not an anime cutscene or at the very least voiced) you will be golden.
Let's be honest here. I bet in BG3 we all skipped more dialog than we heard and that was all voiced. Gotta learn how to skip stuff in rpgs. Whenever you see them going into a recap or explanation or tutorial, press the start button to skip. If you think Metaphor is bad try P5R. Once you understand the art of the skip, Metaphor turns amazing. Not only do they repeat everything a dozen times anyway(you won't miss the story) there is a nice recap system that provides the story along the way. It is literally impossible to miss anything by skipping texts. In fact, unlike P5R, you don't have to look up the answers in Metaphor to min/max because the answers you are supposed to give actually make sense and you can just guess the right one. So the qol metaphor brings over persona is 1. Way less needed to skip, and 2. don't have to look up answers to every question to min/max, and 3. Overworld combat removes the need to battle enemies below your level in turn based as they can actually be battled with action based combat once you outlevel them. So your issue with Metaphor is actually a thousand times worse in P5R. P5R is a legendary goat game so you may just not like atlus games or more likely don't know the art of the skip.
