There ARE some overarching ties, but most of the routes are just experimenting with different genres and conventions, and you have to be willing to just ride it out.
I got the game at launch and I'm still only 40 or so endings done. It's one of those things you shouldn't force yourself to bumrush.
If you end up just not really vibing with it, and specifically want more stuff like the Hiruko time travel stuff, hop on the Zero Escape trilogy since that route is all Uchikoshi from what I can tell, you're gonna get a lot of overlap. It helps that, from what I can gather, Hiruko is very clearly an analogue to Phi from Virtue's Last Reward. There are still story locks in those games but it's much more uniform in themes and general plot so it's not as much of a cockblock.
