Lots of potential but pacing is WAY to fast

Warning: Spoilers
To be honest, I've only watched 7 episodes so far but am going to continue to watch hopefully until completion.

Anyways, my thoughts thus far are that this anime is well drawn and pretty good for what I can understand BUT the pacing is WAY to fast, which makes me the timeline choppy and is less fluidic that I had hoped. Episode 1, Theo is a wandering lord with no allies, by the end of the episode he conquers the lord of that territory, which has a dilapidated castle and then it ends. All good and fine. By episode 3 he has an army if allied forces and a large castle as his stronghold, NONE of the events preceding was ever shown on how he got that castle, he was just there like it was his own. They talk about battles to get to that point but it's vaguely glossed over, no substance to get to this point and little interest of the main characters as there has been minimal development of them to this point but SO MUCH has happened that was never shown. Huge disappointment. Episode 4 he's Baron with a vast amount of land and by episode 5 he's a knight with no land and serving as maid even though he's a knight. He was literally in an apron dusting off books, while the previous episode he had his own castle and army ffs lol.

Just WAY TO FAST and minimal development of characters so far. I just assumed with 24 episodes that they would take their time and develop these plot points but not yet.

Like I previously said, I'm only on episode 7 of 24, so maybe my preconceived thoughts may be of a hastily forethought, and hopefully that is the case, but I dunno... The anime itself is good and I am enjoying it and is why I will continue watching bit these issues keep it from being good or great than the mediocrity that it is now.
