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?

With 3H, I grew to despise the monastery

I'm on the second route now in FW and I haven't gotten tired of Dagsion yet.

I never did the other routes in 3H, I will likely see FW through all 4.

I don't know how you can get bored of the monastery and not dagsion which is just the same thing every month but the traversal space you have to run around in is like 5x the size. It takes so much time each month scrounging for items and talking to every character to get their unique dialogue.

Simple, I don't scrounge for every item/dialogue.

Dagsion doesn't have lost items either so that is a MASSIVE W for me.

Well by your logic the monastery wouldn't be an issue either because you'd be skipping most of it like you're doing in dagsion.

So that doesn't change anything I said. If you are doing the weekly/monthly stuff in FW the amount of bloat is unbelievably larger than 3 houses.
