I do genuinely encourage reading from the start do to the expanded and revised scenes. While not crucial I think you'll enjoy them. This will be the only update where I encourage reading from the start.

Patch Notes

Important, the Journal has been implemented though we do not yet have a notification in for when there is a new entry.  You can find the button to access it, in game, in the quick menu buttons under the dialogue box. New entries progressively unlock as you go through the story. With the current final one populating the journal after Video Den second shift.

You must play a new game for the entries to populate, they will not retroactively do so. You can always go to Preferences, toggle on Skip unseen text and hit the Tab Key (Default Renpy Key) to trigger skipping through all the scenes if all you want to do is populate the journal entries.
