Well unless you skipped to Episode 4, I wouldn't recommend for various reasons, I'll see how much I can help you.
First and foremost when doing story related things the Matter Board, MB for short, is king. When looking at the MB all of the gold orbs have to be completed for a new story mission path to appear, usually.
Sometimes a new story mission involves going back to a mission you have already done and doing something different than last time. For example the first story mission you did with Afin that is done a grand total of 3 times taking different paths at a certain point.
To progress in the MB you have to complete Orbs that are active, they are larger than inactive ones. This is done by either killing a certain enemy, visiting someone in the lobby, or going to a certain map and activating a USB stick thing in the field.
If it is visiting someone in the field via USB stick always choose an Arks Mission as they only show up in single-party areas of a map.
I think that about covers all the basics needed to get these done. But just so you know don't be discouraged by how repetitive it gets because about a year or so ago they were much much worse.
