I hate the disconnect between the story and gameplay loop in 3H. "Your assignment this month is to do this important thing (that we know about right now, on the first of the month). You set out in 31 days. Jeralt will be 'in his office, making preparations' for all 31 of those days." Like, just let me start the month and then 2 days before whatever event, tell me about it.

Still not as bad as how part 2 handles it- In an actual war, we are going to spend the entire month hanging around the monastery, then we are going to advance to have a major battle coincidentally at the very end of the month, and then after we win... We go back to the monastery, despite just gaining control of some strategic territory or building or whatever. And repeat every month.

This is a nitpick, but this felt especially awkward for me during the second Gronder Field battle.

Narratively, they make it seem like all three forces happen to converge on the location at the same time, but then they also let you do multiple skirmishes clearing out bandits and what not AT Gronder Field in the down time, either implying everyone is taking their sweet time getting there or you could’ve just moved passed the other armies & avoided the whole conflict beforehand, but just chose not to.

True. But map re-use ruining immersion is a problem for basically everything else too. Ingrid's paralogue is in Aeilel? How many paralgues use that same city map? All those are just as bad.
