I don't read the LN or whatever but I'm okay with the current pacing. I'd rather have a slow pace rather than a rushed pace that make the story incomprehensible. We rush the story so she can meet her father and then what? Right now we're getting backstory, character development, and world building. We weren't given any of that at the beginning after all, we were just kinda randomly thrown into the middle of the story. If those three aren't the most important aspect of a story then I don't know what is.
