Story - 7
The story is character driven and is somewhat a harem. The reason I'd say somewhat a harem is because the author makes it pretty clear who the girl will be with the MC. (Can't be 100% since the series is still ongoing). I think the author does a good job showing glaring faults of many characters and giving them room to grow as the series goes on. The growth, however, is quite slow and subtle but it shows promise.

The characters are so well drawn and sometimes they would have a full page portrait showing a character's moment.
Character -7
I believe this will be the weakest part of the series and I think it takes a bit of empathy to understand the characters. In fiction, we would like to create perfect and likable characters. The author starts out showing major flaws with these characters and make them a bit difficult to like at first.
Kazuya - The main character with many flaws. Nothing about him to talk highly about other than the fact that he's a kind person? He's awkward, perverted, and insecure. I took a moment and realized two things. His character just shows how human he is and the fact that I can, unfortunately, relate to him. Although he has these flaws and a showcase to be unlikable at first, this gives Kazuya a lot of room to grow as a character and that's what is shown throughout the series so far: his character growth.
Mizuhara - The main heroine of the series. Throughout the series, you start to learn about her flaws as a person too. The author has put some care into her character growth throughout the series. She's more of an enigma since most of the story revolves in Kazuya's thoughts and perspective. Nevertheless, you start to see her development and understand her throughout the series.
The side characters are either a hit or miss. Whether its their family or friends or the girls in the "harem". Most of them play an integral part of the character development for Kazuya and Mizuhara.
Enjoyment - 9
Despite how I feel about the story and characters, I've went on a binge spree on 150+ chapters of this series. I'm fond of seeing the growth of two flawed characters. It took a while and many chapters, but I started to love and connect with those two characters over time. Its quite an investment to keep pushing on a weak start. I would've dropped this if I found no sign of character development, but I think the author is doing a good job. My only complaints would be the exaggerated faces when something ecchi is related and the story is stalled because of a character i find unimportant, dramatic, and obnoxious.
Overall - 8
I think the series is great but I do think it starts out really weak. Usually you'd want to capture your audience early and stay on a pace of telling a great story. This series starts out weak, but given a chance and some empathy that people aren't perfect, I think its wonderful with the character growth its showing.
