Yes, it does. SMT V has an engaging story. It takes place in a post - apocalyptic Tokyo and features complex characters and moral dilemmas that draw players in.
Honestly, skipping the GTA V story mode isn't a great idea. The story is what makes the game so engaging. But if you really want to, maybe look for unofficial hacks or exploits online. Just be aware that this could cause problems with your game and violate the terms of service.
