Why is it not very interesting? I'll tell you...because the same situation (setup, execution, twist, and resolution) happens over and over and over again, every 4 to 5 episodes. You never get anything new. You know who the bad guys are, and what they'll try to do.
Which leads me to another gripe of these shows. The bad guys are known to all. Even the good guys. But the good guys go about their merry lives in such an artificially inflated state of obliviousness, that you groan loudly and lean on the fast forward button. The protagonists ignoring danger, never being prepared, always being REACTIVE instead of PROACTIVE, becomes so very tiresome.
And the antagonist demons?
Well, the centipede demon was kind of cool....and got a paltry 3 episodes.
The fox demon was also cool, and gets a mere 4 episodes.
The boring, redundant, annoying as hell Toad demon? Well, that ridiculous character gets close to 30 episodes. All backed by the annoying Ryui character, who is such a whiny POS, that you can't even consider her a true villain. She is such a buffoon of a character.
Throw in a lot of other forgettable characters, like Xui's sister, and you've got the makings of a show that simultaneously goes nowhere AND you know it is going nowhere. Nothing ever gets resolved to satisfaction, and the character's choices prolong the most ridiculous scenarios simply to fill the run time.
This one makes Eternal Love look like an above average show...and that's saying something.
