I've managed to read up to chapter 22. Somehow this book reads very fast. Maybe it's the short length of chapters

Spoiler:

Saying that "Hanekawa didn't learn nothing from Tsubasa Cat" is not totally exact. However, her real issue is explored exactly in this volume, and possibly it will be somehow resolved in the end. For this reason, it doesn't make much sense joking about her not partecipating in a harem competition, whether the harem competition will actually happen or not, because right now she is in the middle of tuning up. Though in any case I don't think that there is really a need to resurrect the Hanekawa/Araragi/Senjougahara love triangle for the finale.

Also, I think the phrase "She doesn't show that she's upset over anything" is a bit of a misunderstanding of the character. It is more correct to say Hanekawa doesn't know that she's upset over anything. She was surprised to be upset when she saw her house burning. You make it sound like she just needs to be more outspoken. That's not her issue.
