The main character's motivations are never explained past a weak sense of chuunibyuo taken to the extreme. The other characters and the narrative offers no challenge to the protagonist either, meaning after the excitement of seeing a battle for the first time, it just becomes a boring drawn out fight knowing the mc will never be in danger nor will his opponent ever win.
The harem of girls the mc has following him around is a cliche done poorly. The author even throws in some meta jokes about this and other anime cliches and then shamelessly goes forward with it.
Honestly what annoys me the most is that this show had potential. The world was fleshed out, the backstory could have been engaging. Some of the supporting characters could be interesting given more agency and room to grow. And this got 20 episodes with a decent enough animation team.
The last 6 episodes were a grind for me, my mind ignoring the sunk cost fallacy. I only wonder what could have been if another work had gotten this slot.
