I reached episode 17. Just finished it. Oh my god. Elymias enters the boss lady’s room at 14:25 and by the end of the episode at 21:39 he spoke all of one line. He spends 7 minutes standing in front of the guildmaster thinking to himself in his head. She even comes out and asks him “didn’t you come here to give me a report?” like the studio animating this were self-aware of how comedically bad and janky this scene was.

They are obviously wasting their viewer’s time on purpose.
