This isn't really an idle game to be honest. Not that it claims to be, but it's definitely the impression i got at first. Took me about a week of play to reach the current ending and the core gameplay loop didn't change much, but changed enough to keep it interesting.

For the most part, you'll be spending about 15-20 minutes afk, and then another 5-10 minutes manually pushing your progression. There are meaningful choices and decisions to make, paths to prioritise and ultimately a fair amount of grinding to unlock automation. After unlocking automation, there's more just around the corner as you get better and faster every generation. This is why i say the core gameplay doesn't change all that much.

To give a general idea, i reached the end of Chapter 5 after 191 generations. Which doesn't sound like a lot but that's roughly 100 hours of semi-idle gameplay. While my hours are closer to 200, there were plenty of times where i would have the game open but be too busy to interact, or i was asleep.
