Is Inazuma AQ supposed to be a walking around simulator?

I just started playing a month and a half ago, maybe two months ago and I’ve been at Inazuma for a week or so now, and let me tell you this is the most boring crap ever. I know this game loves to do some “fetch me this” or “deliver that” quests but mostly that’s relegated to the side quests. So far in this story line I’ve ran all over, talking to randoms I don’t even remember, about what or what for. Went on a date with Ayaka, and idk the deal with her? Am I supposed to be in love with her? Like it’s not hitting. So far the biggest saving grace has been the firework girl yoimiya, she’s a fun character to interact with.

Mondstat was a great intro, and I loved Liyue. I spent almost a month there probably, doing almost everything. This is just a snooze fest so far.
