I want to drop this anime but I'm halfway through season 1 already, I can't stand how dense/awkward bell is. Is he going to be like this the whole season or even in 2nd season etc or will he show some changes?

He is like that throughout the series. In S2 IMO he is at his worst with his self congratulatory, white knight attitude. According to source readers he actually will change in S5

Tbh, I don't really see him as such that much, who wouldn't be awkward in front of their crush, but at least unlike other protagonist, he is honest and knows who he loves and tries to be better for her, he is one of better done fantasy protagonists and it really shows his character development in season 3 and 4, season 2 might be a hard ride cause there isn't anything that good, but if you do make it through, not only bell but the whole series gets a lot better

It’s actually pretty good under that mask. You can tell a story has quality when you can feel it. Danmachi is one of those kinds of shows. Might not be the perfect adaptation but that doesn’t overshadow the quality of writting put into this story overall.

If that is your opinion of Bell, then you are not understanding the anime.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Okay I just watched episode 8 and it was awesome. I think I will manage it somehow, just going to take it slow in S2.

I literally just completed goblin slayer before starting on this one, probably my thoughts on bell is biased because I really liked the personality of goblin slayer.

Bell is 14 years old. Still 14 by vol 19. What are you expecting from a 14 years old raised alone by his grandpa, I'm not sure, but that seems a bit weird to me. I mean I guess he may become less awkward and less dense in season 5 depending of what you mean by that, but that's about it.

Exactly what I was coming here to post. The time span of the whole series so far is not years, but days to months.

Get to season three and tell me what you think of Bell. He definitely grows on you as a character.

He was is season 1 specially in the beginning very weak and seemed a bit stupid but while you are watching the anime he changes and become better
I want you to watch him in season 4 then watch him in season 1 you will get surprised how he was weak

Isn’t Bell being kind of awkward around women a likable trait? Adds to his general soft boi vibe. If that’s a dealbreaker for some reason, yeah, probably drop it.

He was weak, but not stupid, he was naive and inexperienced.

He does grow throughout the series, but season 1 shows his good character the most.
