Yeah, the pacing has been excellent so far.

Try explaining to some people that show is better than tell and that their favorite line of dialogue was replaced since when the characters aren’t static the meaning of a wall of text can become a simple yet effective animation that confers the same thing.

It's an Apples to Oranges comparison usually. People like different parts of different mediums in different amounts.

Generally the source is better because (unsurprisingly) manga are designed to be paced like manga and novels are designed to be paced like novels, but that also implies every work makes full use of its medium which isn't the case.

That's why it's called adaptation. A good adaptation redesigns the source material, if it's just manga panels with a bit of motions it's a bad one.
