It is true that it has characters not very remarkable as Shall that his attitude and comments are very stereotyped as well as Jonas but that does not take away that in each chapter there is a good mix between morals and in turn to see the protagonist and other characters in that area developing their creativity in cooking and creating new sweets, (although I lack that they gave more emphasis on the process of creation).
The experience with this anime could be summarised as relaxing and positive, it certainly deals with issues such as slavery and others but always with a respectful touch by the protagonist, leaving as a moral in each chapter that fairies are equally valuable beings as any other, even if there are despicable beings in that world who mistreat them and so on.
It is not a series that is going to change your life, nor is it one that deserves no recognition, so it is somewhere in between and it is up to you to decide if you want to give it a chance.
