I’m on ep 4 and I’m not enjoying it. Does it get any better?
Does the plot change or are they still trying to get the other to confess to them?

If you don't enjoy the main theme/premise of the show, then it might not be for you. The formula isn't going to change up that much in the first season. I thought it kept getting better as the show went on, but I enjoyed it right from the start, so I don't know if that's really helpful or applicable to you.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

Idk I checked your taste and it might even not be for you. And that's okay just coz something is popular you don't need to force yourself to watch it,anime is meant for enjoyment watch what you enjoy that's it.

personally i’d finish the first season its basically just an introduction to characters and how the show is gonna be and the second season is miles better but dont force yourself to continue it if u cant. i can see why someone wouldnt like it but if you’re trying to get into romance and dont want to continue this i suggest watching fruits basket its the best rom-com imo

If you aren't sold on episode 1, you probably won't like the rest.
There are some new characters, and some good romantic moments later on, but almost the entire series is built around 1 joke.

I won't suggest to drop it. I didn't enjoy too much in S1 but S2 is way better and S3 will be awesome season. If you have got patient, continue. If you are a manga reader, go read the fucking manga.

Unfortunately not really. It’s generally the same premise with all of the future episodes, at least for those that have been released so far.

Kaguya-sama isn't like other rom-coms. It really focuses on the comedy part more, developments will come but it takes its time to do that. I get where you're coming from coz I have been in the same situation. Kaguya-sama was one of the first romance anime I was suggested (at the time I had just watched famous shonens or other action or psychological thriller based shows) and the first opinion I had after finishing the show was "Why is this so overrated". At the time I used to rate shows very high, yet both S1 and S2 didn't go above 7 for me so I thought it wasn't for me. Then I got into other rom-coms like Oregairu, Golden Time etc.,which is by far different than Kaguya-sama actually. I really liked those and after about 2 months I picked up the Kaguya-sama manga from where S1 left off(even though I had already watched S2). And guess what?? 😂😂 The anime which I once called overrated,that very same thing had me rolling coz of the comedy. Right now, I'm actually a full-fledged Kaguya-sama fan...the later parts of the manga is so good rn I rate it at 9/10 and it has got one of the best written side casts. And the comedy's really good too. So if you're just starting with romance I'd suggest you to start with something more generic. Then watch Oregairu that show is a really good one,and it's based on deep and heavy dialogues. May be after you get into the rom-com genre returning to this will help you like it did with mine?? You can try out the manga too coz it's goated. Since you have shows like Naruto, AoT, Code Geass on ur list I can kinda relate to what's happening to u rn coz I was totally hooked into those at one point of time.

i'd say to carry on, season 3 will most likely be the best season in romcom history (it has a 10/10 arc and the adaptstion in fabulous)

The point of the show is that "Love is War". It's really not meant to be taken so seriously though. :) I was on the fence at first but I found it to be a clever take on the very crowded romance genre. If you find the romantic pacing tedious you may want a Shoujo like Fruits Basket or another Seinen like Hyouka, and I haven't finished it but people seem to really like Horimiya as a Shounen, though my favorite is probably Your Lie in April.

In my opinion season 1 wasn't that good but then I watched season 2 and it was absolutely amazing. So yes, I think it does get better.

For me the first 30 seconds instantly hooked me just the opening told me it was an easy 8/10 show after finishing it became 9/10.

Maybe it isn't for you l would say drop it.

If you don’t enjoy the premise initially then you most likely won’t like it more later, although imo s2 is better cos it’s less trying to get eachother to confess but instead more ‘plot’ and less focused somewhat on confession

Yes and no. It does get better cuz as it goes on the romance in the series gets more serious but the premise never really changes. It’s a slice of life, psychological, comedy so there isn’t gonna be much plot.

No not really, the anime does really stay the same and it does get very repetitive (at least for me). Each season though, does have 1-2 episodes were the characters get some development which is nice, but aside from that, this is just a mind game romcom.

confession will be done in S3 most probably. and after that it gets better i am sure of it. because i am a manga reader so i know how epic this is. but if you guys aren't a fan of romance anime or the doesn't like the psychology in this anime, then this is not for you

I didn't enjoy the first two episodes either. after that it started to feel alright. And after that I started to love it. It does depend on you, but I'm glad I kept watching; now it is one of my favourite shows.

I will second the suggestion to give it two more episodes, up to episode 6. Episode 5 has some fan-favorite skits, and episode 6 introduces a new character that a lot of people love to an unreasonable degree. If you're still not feeling it then, then yeah, show's probably not for you. There's some more romantic focus in the latter half of the season, but yeah, they're going to be stuck in that "must make the other confess" mindset for a good while longer.

It's a pretty atypical romcom, though, and part of the appeal and humor depends on how it riffs on common romance tropes - you're not going to get that if you're a complete novice to the genre. Might be an idea to come back to it after you have some other, more 'normal' romcoms under your belt. Or not. There's no shame in just not liking something.

it’s getting better in my opinion, but just the tension between them. but the plot? ig. but the second season has one episode that made me cry (i’m not crying often hehe). i think it was episode 11? maybe 10. this anime is more like a comedy but that episode has opened a serious topic.

Im guessing slow-burn isn't your cup of tea. If you want them to confess asap you should drop this anime cuz they're not confessing any time soon. Here are a few fast romance recs: My Little Monster, Oremonogatari, Horimiya

Season 1 is a solid 4/10.
It gets better on Season 2 mainly cus that annoying narrator shut his mouth a bit, Kaguya is less inconsistent and Ishigami character arc has interesting moments although I don't like him at all.
