this show can be best described as a series of tryhard comedic reliefs played back to back with plot threads spurn in between. 'try hard' because they're repetitive to the point where you're obliged to feel lightened by them. there are so many plot points that just don't add up, & the characters constantly disregard the very motive they exist to achieve the *entire* time!
another thing about the story is it turns in different ways 'just because' (like- the fights end before they can actually begin, and buildups lead up to nothing... and that's another thing- we learn nothing about anything since the first episodes
...
where they just introduce us to the basics of the world's workings!) even the plot points the show constantly gets back to the entire time (because they have nothing new worthwhile to offer) get completely overlooked. 95% of it is sexualized tsundere women to make up for its lack of creative writing, that's it.
this isn't even about me saying how the story isn't as serious and funny as it could've been (as most good animes are) but its writing is so lazy that it can't even make the premise seem a bit engaging, or at least make fanservice memorable, if that's what it intended to rely on. hataraku maou sama is just painfully mediocre in every way.
