That's the thing: progress quest isn't an idle game. It's a parody of modern games that was made long before idle games were a thing. It wasn't fun just like a joke isn't an interesting story.
I would say it was the grandaddy of idle games. It was made as a joke, but actual games have followed its model seriously. And it sucks. It parodies JRPGs, many of which had an auto-battle option. But that was still just an option, and they typically had stories and other fun things about them.
