So I feel like there's just top much action. I understand that it's about spies and it's supposed to be epic and all, but there's just to much. You know that no matter what happens, spies will win. But they can't just make them win normally. They make them lose then win and lose again just to win. Because of that, the show becomes really boring.

I think that the main problem is too many characters within the main cast. Most of those girls are barely relevant and do not contribute to the story (at least so far), so having them introduced all at once makes it look like shitty gatcha game adaptation

Yeah, I dropped it after the first hilariously awful plot twist on their initial spy mission.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

I don't think it's specifically the plot twists, the writing is just bad in general.

Oh and there is even more plot twists to come. 

Grethe is basically the plot twist character, and this is her character arc now.

What feels wrong to me is the stakes in this show?
I don't feel any seriousness from the characters. It's not like they even understand their work and it's consequences, be it good or bad.

To be blunt, it looks like : * A bunch of kids playing spies*

Feels like the plot twists are written by a 10 years old lmao

I agree with PoisonedSandwich and TigreDemon that the problem ain't the plot twists, but how poorly they were written.

This is why Princess Principal has only five main characters, rather than going overboard by having eight main girls.

The show's focus on "Cute Spies Doing Cute Things" instead of "Cute Girls Doing Spy Things" is perhaps the simplest way to sum up why it ain't living up to its fullest potential.

You haven't much in your list, and you've rated nearly everything in it either a 10 or a 9... and the types of anime you've given a 10 do not instill much confidence. 
Like with this show Spy Classroom, probably the best way to enjoy it is stop treating it like it's as smart as it pretends to be. Treat it like a CGDCT and just watch it for the characters. 
Everything that happens in it has to do with the different girls' personalities. The slight-of-hand shit isn't important.

If you lack in cognitive thought I recommend you stop watching anything here and just go watch disney.

You are probably the most demonstrable demon in this thread. Your tag line gives it away. Are you being paid to shit on a show with your quotes of clearly people shitting on it?

I haven't read the novels but going through the light novel titles, it does look like each girl essentially gets her own "novel" and we get to learn more about each. Also this goes hand to hand with the voice actors who they hire since they all seem to have many credits and/or singing careers.

I noticed Miku Itou got a lot of attention on her twitter for this episode. They probably should have pushed a figure of Grete before Monika since it will take forever to get to Monika's light novel

So it is not just the intial popularity but the format of the light novel series probably meant a lot of top seiyuus auditioned for the roles
