Over-faithfulness to an original work can harm an adaptation, and that's what's happening here.
I'm not worried about the action building up again - this show is proceeding pretty much as I expected.

You are making the assumption that plot and character interaction is somehow inferior to combat scenes. There are quite a lot of animes that manages fine without a single combat scene even! I don't think this anime is aimed at people who fall asleep if there isn't any fighting every few minutes.
