It is way too repetitive, and I want to know if there is any way I can
turn an installation into a live image that I can boot from.

There is the already described option of creating the live USB with an overlay and a home directory. There are some limitations with that, like running out of overlay space and not being able to update the kernel.

For example, I open a VM and make all my changes, and then use that as
my live image.

If your VM is smaller than the USB drive, you could write the VM image to the USB drive (after converting from qcow2 to raw) and that should work. You can resize the partition to fill the drive after.

I have gone through the tutorials for creating live images, but they
all create the image from pre-defined kickstart files without any
changes to it.

Any way I can turn my installation into a live image ?

If you really want to use an existing install, you could create the partitions on the flash drive and copy the files from the other install onto it. You'll have to update the fstab and fix the booting to make it work.

The possibly easier method is to just do an install directly to the flash drive. Then it's a normal Fedora install that you can customize as you want. You could do updates and even full version upgrades on it.
