Really wish I could get into this

I got this game on Itch.io a while back, and everything about it is so wonderful, I'm enamoured with almost every aspect of the game.
Unfortunately the actual mechanics are so antithetical to what I enjoy that I can't get any further than halfway through the second journey before restarting out of frustration.
I understand the ludonarrative of the mechanics are how converstations are unpredictable, and it's impossible to always say the right things no matter how well travelled and experienced you are; life will change you in ways you cannot control.

I just wish this didn't make the actual gameplay feel so bad to me.
When I fail a conversation because I drew a bad hand I don't feel like me and that character just weren't vibing that day, I feel like the game dealt me out of progression arbitrarily.

In all fairness, I really have no idea if there's recourse for this, my only thought is that I wish a conversation partner's cards would become visible once you've seen this before to represent getting to know that person.

I don't know, I understand I'm basically just complaining I just really mourn the fact that I probably don't have the werewithal to play this game,
but actually maybe this does have a point, I've decided I'm gonna give it another go and try to take failure as it is.
(Not with Elias though, never with Elias. I will restart the game at ANY point to avoid failing a conversation with elias.)
