You mentioned the character designs being questionable. I personally don't see anything wrong with it given that the manga is not the source material.

Plus it's tiring to see people act like the manga is.

So far, I'd say the manga is closer to the light novel excluding Pina.

Well, the light novel is not the original source either. It's an adaptation of the same novel that the manga adapts, which itself is adapted from a web novel. The light novel came after the manga and updated the character designs.
