Disappointed about persona 5 royal

DISCUSSION

So I recently bought persona 5 royal because I was looking for games to play and since I'm a big fan of JRPGS I decided to give persona 5 a try

The reviews were great but I honestly didn't really see much because I like to play games fresh without any spoilers, I just so what the game was about and it got me intrigued, but my god I was not expecting the game to be like this..

I'm like 13h into this game and I don't know if I can continue playing it because I had no idea that this game was this much bloated in DIALOGUE.. I spent the last 3h just scrolling through dialogue and honestly most of it was really not interesting and had little importance to the plot itself.. then I went online to see how many hours it takes to beat the game and it says that it takes over 100h just to complete the main story.. I mean if it continues to have this much dialogue no wonder it takes that long to beat the game.. I'm disappointed because I really like the style of the game itself and the combat is amazing but with this amount of dialogue I don't know if I can enjoy beating this game

what do you guys think? does it get better or the game is just going to be 1h of fun and 3h of snoring dialogue?

PS: No hate comments please. I want honest opinions and advice from you guys.. I'm not here hating on the game, I just shared my thoughts on it and I would appreciate some honest opinions as well.. No need to down vote and start critiquing for no reason
