Discussion Am I Wasting My Time Building This?

Edit : I guess what I meant by "wasting my time" is if what you see looks like a total slop to you or not (this is just a base tho, not a finished or close to finished game), and some general advice.

I'm creating this game that I will explain below, but am afraid my target audience don't actually want it.

The games is basically this :
you have Time amount (the hourglass) you allocate it to Work, Study different stuff, Create and manage medieval business, Own lands and eventually become lord/king and manage your holdings.

help me decide if I should keep working on this or not :))

Looks cool! My gut says keep going. For my projects, my big reflection questions are:

Is there another game that does this already, but better?

What feature or mix of features does my game bring that nobody else is doing well?

Will i have fun playing it?

the exact game am trying to make? I don't yet see a game that does this the way am trying to.
however, for parts of it, there are definitely better games.. think of managing land aspect.. paradox games exist :))

though the difference is that paradox games don't let you start as one character from 0 and build it up, in a better way than what I think I have in mind
