Honestly, if they'd nipped the pacing issue and cut the series at clearing Naofumi's name or even the battle with Glass it would have been smoother. If they'd even gotten rid of the unneccesary scenes with the Pope and wrapped that up in an episode it would have at least given some leeway.
I'd say this series was aimed at everybody, not just the obsessive light novel/web novel/manga lore nerds (who, like Zuko, are never happy, anyway), hence it tried to tell it's own story. As someone who has read the manga, I actually appreciate how they lightened Naofumi from the complete emo wreck he was there into someone actually more relatable.
