None of the stories are particularly interesting as "stories" (they're fine for further characterisation, but they're generally uneventful) and you can't save or advance text manually, it's all slow and automatic. It would be definitely worth checking out if you could advance text at your own pace, but since that's not possible, it's a slow and unpleasant experience.
Understanding the Japanese spoken dialogue would definitely improve it too, since the speed of the words would clearly line up with something, and that's down to the player / not the game's fault, but still, it wouldn't make it good.
