This show isn't some big thing with complex characters and incredible well-written plot points—because that's not the point of this series, and I feel like that's one thing people in the community generally never seem to get. Some things are not meant to be a thought-provoking adventure. If you want something super exciting, this anime won't be for you.

Yes, this is mostly a simple but generally wholesome story. The point of the anime is that the viewer has something cozy to watch without having to think too much of what's going in it. You could even call this a cheer-up anime. The characters and ... scenes are set up to make the viewer think, "That's cute!". Nothing more, nothing less. It does a really great job at that in my opinion. I mostly watched this when I needed something to pick my mood up and it did.

I think it's okay to acknowledge this anime might not be for you, if you know you like complex writing more or want more depth to the characters. To review this anime on the same scale you would review anime like Frieren or Gintama, however, is not a great choice, in my opinion. They serve a different purpose than this one, after all, so you can't base your main review points of it being, "too simple", when it's supposed to be like that. You can say you didn't like the simplicity and move on, but condemning it for its purpose is a bit wack.

So, to sum it up, if you want something simple but wholesome, then Atarashii Joushi wa Do Tennen is for you.
