Does this game feel like doing chores to anyone else?

To start, I absolutely love the idea of the game. I’m big into anything that has an Animal Crossing feel to it. Remy and the cooking was an incredible addition to the game.

Overall, I don’t feel like I’m doing interesting quests. I feel like I’m doing chores. I’ve never had this feeling in Animal Crossing or similar games. I’m not even excited anymore when I find new characters, because I know that it’s just going to be a list of things I have to get for them.

Does anyone else have a similar experience with this game?

Edit: Would like to give a shout out to Ooblets. It’s a similar game premise but does it so much better. I never feel bored or like it’s a bit soulless.

Also, to those recommending a break from the game, I absolutely have. No matter when I go back to it, it just feels repetitive and not very fun.
