I don't really enjoy the game that much but I'll give you some tips:

Spend time with party members you know you will use to get their Rank up on social days. When the map icon shows a "card" of the person in that area that you can spend time with, it will say UP! next to it. That means that you will almost 100% guarantee a rank up when spending time with them. This is beneficial for party members because they give you passive benefits.

Some of the best things to rank up early are Death (Doctor), Sun (Politician) and Temperance (Maid) for the perks.

You don't need to worry about every single social link if you don't want to but the game is actually kind of a bitch difficulty wise if you don't have the SP Adhesive 3 accessory from Death Rank 7 (Doctor) because SP is literally used for just about everything that matters, and HP is used for most of the Persona basic attacks, which generally are shit outside of being buffed and spamming multi-hit moves with Ryuji.

I got to like the 5th dungeon before getting sick of the game. It's just too long.
