Episode 2:

You know, if this anime told the story in a normal, chronological order, it could have been half-decent.

The constant flashbacks are super irritating.

I guess they wanted to get to the payoff of what the series is about right away, the first volume takes a while for them to get to the point where he fails, and then he spends pretty much the rest of the novel in power-up mode by himself. So I can see how it was going to be difficult to get viewers into the story... don't know how long the series will be.

But all told, I thought it was going to be difficult to get new audience into the premise of the show in the first episode, but even so, it seems like they screwed up the whole narrative.

The first volume is also quite dark and gritty, not sure if they're portraying that well here.
