You actually make some great points. But try to use more paragraphs. I don't mind a long read, but I can be very nitpicky about paragraphs.

Also, I agree, I hope the series does not become like those action adventures you mentioned, whether in terms of Rito's character development, or such a strong need for any character to take action.

But I really hope Rito would leave at least a feeling of progress, even if we're not watching it. There have been many series where the character would develop a little, but otherwise, most actual action is basically filler.

One good example would be Momo. When her mother made her question her resolve for the harem plan, that was character development for her. And during this time, we focus more on other characters, ensuring that her development is not too fast. And even though she restored that resolve and things went back to normal for her, there is still a feeling of growth, and some possibility is open for more dynamic changes in her character. Really, characters don't have to actually do much. Just thinking in a new way is actual character development.

Now let's take a look at Rito and Haruna. In the episode when they accidentally kissed, it was in the minds of both of them for a while, and there was a chance for development. But at the end, both of them decided to receive nothing from it and do nothing about it, they both went back to square one, and there is little chance they will be revisiting this experience.

Now we have Nemesis, who is getting more insight about Rito's thoughts and feelings now than anyone else, and giving readers more as well. But I wouldn't be surprised, but still pretty disappointed, if Nemesis recovers and gets out of Rito, and Rito is still the exact same guy as before, without deciding or learning anything new about himself. The only one who would be getting any development from this is Nemesis.
