The "Eru arc" in itself is actually pretty nice (even with Eru missing the very obvious solution), it's just that it was stretched to twice the length necessary; ch. 5 & 6 should have been just one chapter.
Idk if it's because it's shounen, but the author apparently felt like Volume 1 needed to end in cliffhanger (instead of a satisfying conclusion).
