I wouldn't give a negative recommendation just because a game isnt' for me, but I thought it totally would be from the ~5 minutes of gameplay trailers on the steam page. "Survival Exploration" it says in the video, where the sailing around looks like the type of classic trading games I used to play and enjoy, and not ONCE in any of the three videos does it show the interface in which I spent the most time: the journal. There is so much finnicky text and reading and options that dont make it clear what to do or where to go and this is where all the actions and decisions take place so it seems like a big part of the game. I don't know if maybe this stops at somepoint and it turns into more sailing mechanics but for being such a prominant interface at least in the beginninig I feel tricked by it not even being shown once in the trailers or screenshots... It's not their fault I don't have the patience or desire for that type of gameplay, but please show me this before I get the game so I can know what to expect...

The slower you play it the better it is. Read everything, and make sure you fully understand what you are reading. I've had to look up dozen of words used in this game because they are not in common usage. If you let the game progress at its own pace and not at yours you will be much more immersed in this world.
