Loved Ender Lillies, but dropped it near the end due to pacing,is Ender Magnolia better with these issues?

my main issue with Ender Lillies is the pacing though I really love the game(aesthetics,combat and exploration especially the ruined castle area) and have even defeated most of the major bosses (Julias, Miriel/Faden, Ulv) I think only one major boss is left? but I have lost the will to play it further and have dropped it because for me the game overstayed its welcome.

My question is that I really love the game overall except for the the pacing, the crappy poison area and the horrendous mini map does Magnolia have the same problems?
