Alternative display format
Due to the high amount of click to progress a visual novel, would it be possible to create a setting (and an.alternative text box window) whereby each "block" of same type auto feeds through the text box, at a speed dictated by a visible slider (adjustable at any time), only requiring a click to continue when the text nature changes? This would reduce the click heaviness considerably.
Re: Alternative display format
The text box could be based on NVL-mode dialog:
https://renpy.org/doc/html/gui.html#nvl
but instead of a large vertical wall of text, it could be a lesser scrollable box, a "viewport" with scrollbar:
https://renpy.org/doc/html/gui.html#scrollbars
https://renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#viewport
NVL-Mode Tutorial:
https://renpy.org/doc/html/nvl_mode.html
Dialog lines can be shown without interactions with user, e.g. with interact=False
https://renpy.org/doc/html/dialogue.html#Character
It should be possible to show them at certain speed.
(Using pause of certain length with every "say"?)
Or, to make the auto-scrolling smooth (1 pixel at a time rather than adding whole lines), a creator-defined displayable could be necessary.
Adding a slider to the UI is trivial.
Therefore yes, it might require some work, but it should be possible.

Doesn't auto advance already do this?

Re: Alternative display format
Yes, I thought NVL mode would be the thing to use. I was also pondering a window with text in, and try and do pause after each line
