I'm quite a distance behind, so I can't speak for the last year or so, but that was my impression at the time.
But yeah, Uzaki ends up having to recognize she has major competition around the time she notices her feels and deal with her issues (and he his own major anti-social ones) before they can really go anywhere. That's where I left off, so no idea how it goes from that point.
Without too much spoilers, it does kind of go back towards that 'simp' route unfortunately - but that is more of a symptom of Japanese relationships than any western influence. Sakurai (the MC) has a lot of trouble getting physical with Uzaki once they end up dating, primarily played up for comedy and leaning towards her 'bullying' him by being overly affectionate.
I'm gonna say I enjoy the series myself, but you can see the way things lean towards that side from time to time...it's normal for there to be some simping in relationships though, especially exaggerated for some fiction itself.
The Japs don't seem to know what to do once the relationship starts, which is why nearly all series end as soon as they get together. But the backlash to that has started to push more current series to go beyond, and its not working in their favor.
