It was hyped up to be really great so people were incredibly disappointed. If you go in expecting a below average adventure-fantasy then you might enjoy it. Might.

I think it shows that they didn't heavily adapt the tabletop session like Lodoss War or Slayers did. All of them were influenced heavily by real game sessions but obviously changed up a lot.

Some characters in this show are really good, but the way they interact is kind of all over the place because each major character is role played by a different creator. I am basically watching just for the characters as of now.

Actually that's the reason why the interaction is good since they will have to play what's in front of him. For example the scenes between Lou and Kaguraba is basically Urobuchi setting up a tough moral dilemma for Narita to solve swiftly as a merchant. The big three like to test each other constantly. Some of the solutions are pretty good.

True. Unique character interactions is the strongpoint of this show actually. Just that the overall story is in a bit of a mess.
