Tower and hierophant social links raise it, but tower is one of the later links and hierophant will require max kindness part way through

Oh you're right
woops
Still though, what difference does it make going up a few stairs and using the TV in the room.

I don't get it either, I've been skipping them when he says 'this won't deepen my bond'
Maybe it increases but only a negligible amount?

It just means social link rank won't advance yet
If there are additional barriers to advancing you won't be able to spend time on those

They meant it won't reach the next level. But it does help you get closer.

You always increase your bond when you hang out with them. The message is just to let you know whether you will actually rank up during the next meeting. It's more used for planning- "OK, I have limited time before hitting the Palace tomorrow, can I visit someone today to rank up my bond?"
Are you expecting your bond will magicly increase if you don't spend time with the person? (~_~)
Is it possible to check how close I am to ranking up a stat? Really curious to see how close I am to r2 Kindness. I'm at a standstill on this, it seems. Helping Sojiro gets me nothing. Feeding the plant got me nothing. I see that watching movies helps but I'm broke. The library won't let me rent books.

No I thought there was a limit that it would increase and it would only make sense to hang out if my character said the bond would deepen.
When it says it won't deepen what it means it that it won't rank up, but you'll still get "friendship points" (those smiling musical notes) necessary to rank up, so it's technically not a waste of time either.

There are guides online that talk about how many points you need to advance ranks for each stat as well as how much various activities raise those stats, but nothing in game
You are actually at recommended level or even a bit overleveled I might say.
What you need to do for the 2nd painting phase is reduce the mouth's attack while you try to take down the other paintings. If you have an AoE attack then that's good. Don't worry about the mouth soaking up damage because once you start to exclusively focus on the mouth it won't take too long. They can only receive one painting at a time so if you kill 2 out of 4 then you only have to deal with 3 the next turn one of which will be really low health, low enough to be one shotted while the other 2 should be fairly low health as well. It's very easy if you just keep using AoE attacks and tank the bites from the mouth by reducing it's damage.
Also for Madurame, don't use any special attacks and just use normal physical attacks with X.
Dude takes pretty much the same damage with anything and does fuck all damage and he won't bring back the painting until you have taken 1/3rd of his health. Use this phase to buff up and fill your health. Once you get to the third phase it's very easy. The 2nd painting phase is literally the toughest part of the fight as you need to take out all the non mouth paintings around the same time.

Where can I find Ann?
I have 11 free days and want to improve my social link with her.

Game doesn't allow you to spend time with a character that can't advance at all. There are times where you'll need social stat levels to advance and there is one character who's link hits an actual wall until a certain story event
Time to start tending to those flowers at the shop, friendo.
Underground mall, you'll only find her there (or in classroom) during afternoons...Never during evenings (if I recall it correctly)

Thanks for the advice all.
This is legitimately the only game I've played for more than five hours straight in years. Looking at my savetime I did 6 and a half hours today.
....I need to eat something. I can't believe I've been missing out on this series for so long.

Easiest way to raise my Kindness?
Second boss spoilers
Took down the first four painting-face thing.
"Pf, this was way too easy"
My reaction for the rest of the fight:
literally the same thing happened to me the first time, lol
use the pay phone on the bar in the coffee shop

The same way you initiate doing the specific activity normally

Weird. Why would Ryuji complain that he's not feeling good if there's no fatigue mechanic then? Perhaps they took fatigue out of the game at the last minute.

Lol, I'm fighting him right now. I entered the battle without any revival items. That was a poor decision on my part! First time in years that I was actually surprised that
a boss had a second phase
Nope, they warn you of that. Once you deliver the calling card that is the last time you can go in.
My charm isn't high enough
To tackle this confidant, I need kindness.
To get kindness, I need a job at the flower shop.

30 hours in. It's been a very, very, long time since I've played a game that made 6-7 real life hours go by without me noticing. MGSV may have been the last time a game kept me up until the birds start chirping.
Question: how do you deal with those Shadows that have a gloomy personality type? Irritable and the cheerful types, I think you have to please them by being an ass-kisser, but idk what to do with these gloomy types.

Finally got to join you guys, I'm never trusting amazon with a pre-order again.
Played a couple of hours, loving everything about the game. It definitely gets down to business much faster than the previous games.
