The main problem with it is that the protagonist specifically doesn't seem to use his brain. In fact he doesn't appear to have one most of the time. When he does do something that makes you think he's gonna get smarter and grow as a character, he immediately backsteps to his old self. It's very frustrating to see a character seem to undergo much needed growth only for that to be reverted in the next scene. I bet you that this manga would have a much better rating if the protagonist wasn't so frustratingly stupid.
It would become the best drama ever if at some point he goes to the doctor and discovers he has a strange hereditary illness that resets his memories every few weeks.

Actually the best punishment for our MC might be to have that plus take Subarus place in Re:Zero :02:

True, and the way we see him do/think the same things over and over makes it seem like there is no progress, even though at some moments there are slight changes. But the way it's written does a great job hiding any progress/growth as much as possible and thus easy to miss

Authors in-ability to create changing character is so frustrating. Like any shyness and embarrassment goes away after doing something multiple times. Like going for a date the first 1st will make you awkward after that first time shyness will decrease substantially and this goes for other things too.
They've known each other for quite a while already yet he still acts shy, awkward and perverted (as if he saw her for the first time, dude saw her in bikini for crying it loud). It's not character growth even, it's basic HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY and authors fucking inability to show this is remarkable.
