When I played it I loved the writing too but the game itself just felt so, so sluggish, and the skill checks were so bad it completely killed any enjoyment.
And I say this as someone who really likes VNs. I love reading. It was everything else in Disco Elysium that just made me groan until I got tired of it.
I can see where you're coming from, but the skill system in particular being designed the way it is is a perfect match for the game's themes. Just like with white skill checks, Harry's life is the story of someone failing horribly but coming back to try again.
But there's a fast travel system in the game that just straight up doesn't work and it would be better if it did.
