If you only saw the very first episode, and decided to judge it on that, then it would be fair to call the series out on it. As far as first episodes go, it isn't promising, and in fact, is very confusing. You're thrown in wholesale, without anything to judge.
Episode 2 is where things get stronger. Yuya's creation of the Pendulum mechanic and monsters mid-duel mean that most people consider him a cheat, and those that don't have painted a target on his back. Yuya's self confidence also takes a huge hit, and we can see that he's easily one of the most emotionally vulnerable of the heroes.
The only really annoying aspect of the series so far are the sound effects, such as Yuya's snoring. And that's fortunately dropped for the serious parts.
In short, hold off your judgements until you've seen episode two. This is a series that's worth a second chance.
Patience...
