I still enjoyed it, but I think the same. In my opinion, this is hugely in part to the lack of the party dynamic, the interactions between our main squad. I'd also say the story was a little weaker, not much of note actually happens.

Despite a chuckle here and there, the humor is way below the main series. Normally if a show fails to captivate me until the third episode I tend to stop right there, but this being a konnosuba spinoff I watched up to episode 5... and won't watch the rest, it's just so bland and boring.

I think it slightly improved after the first 5 actually. The first 5 episodes were just her at school, and after she leaves she starts adventuring a bit. Granted I'm not sure I'd recommend watching it if you didn't like the first 5 episodes either way.

A lot of the humour of the main series is ultimately derived from the party dynamic in my opinion, so I absolutely see where you're coming from in that regard, and to some extent I'd agree with you. Later on there are some Axis Order related shenanigans, and a tighter focus on Yunyun's dynamic with Megumin, but it struggles to reach even the baseline of the main series' humour for me.
