How is the new Fire Emblem?

I'm a big fan of the fire emblem games, but I will admit that I didn't like engage. I found the combat to be as engaging as ever, but the anime tropes and characters were really annoying. I liked 3H, though. My issues is that I heard the new one is heavily skewed towards the out of combat activities, particularly the social features. Is this true?

The games has an Autoskip feature that trains your units so that they catch up in levels. if you hate the social fetures that let you train and build your units and you want to play just for the story you can definitely do that. The game has anime tropes tho but it didn't annoy me, I am a person who can laugh at tropey jokes rather than be a joyless critic. This game plays like 3 Houses with the dungeoneering from Shadows of Valentia. The story is really good and if you like 3 Houses then this game has alot of character and lore tie ins that make me excited for the future of the Sothisverse.
