I understand your feelings, an old friend of mine is similar. Just want to point out though that the books are in first person and very detailed. Issei narrates as if he's actually talking so you don't need to imagine much. But everyone has their own thing.

Well then I guess all I have to say is that if the anime continues, you'll definitely grow to appreciate the action and the characters much more. The first half of this season is more about Kiba though so you'll have to wait a few episodes for Issei to show his stuff in the second half.

Try to think of the first half of season 1 as Issei awakening his power. The second half about learning how to fight. In season 2, he's busy helping his comrades and doesn't gain much more power, but in Volume 5, which would be the first half of season 3, he starts to finally stand on his own two feet.

Also, if you don't want to make an account maybe it would be a good idea to leave a sort of signature so that we know you're the same guy. Maybe only once in every new topic.
