I guess the former is my case, then. Although it's not exactly hate or anything of that sort, but more like a general dislike/lack of enjoyment thus far.

Suffice it to say, novel fans and viewers who are invested in the universe/overarching story seem to be happiest. Casual viewers, however, criticize the slow pace at which the story is unfolding (the flow has completely changed since the writers are presenting a condensed version of the source instead of creating their own narrative and sequence of events) and are particularly displeased with how Shana has been portrayed.
Again, since I'm not into LNs and I am mostly an anime-only viewer myself (few manga exceptions aside), I can't help but sympathize with those "casual viewers" though I'm more or less fine with how Shana has been portrayed up to now.
