Seeing as you've only read one volume, your assessment isn't wrong, but I would suggest to keep reading.
Yeah I get that that's the intention, my problem is with how it's supposed to be funny, especially considering that it's not the first time I've seen this whole concept even this year. It honestly reminds me a lot of Medaka Box, only comprehensible and slightly more amusing. The only time the ojou-sama archetype is actually funny that I've seen is when it's played so that they actually have some sort of absurd commupance for all their equally absurd vanity, but this one seems like it wants to side step that idea entirely for the sake of preserving the main characters perfection and again I have to ask where the potential for humor is supposed to be in that.

Keep in mind I'm a fan of cyncial and even black humor, but not meanspirited and childish humor.
