Funny to hear that from you. After all, most of the 'boring and slow' stuff is essential character development.
Well, 'pretty bad' was kind of an overstatement, I guess (it's not really bad).
Sharin no Kuni, to me, felt like (well, I couldn't describe it like this at the time I read it, but now I can) G-Senjou no Maou except the side routes were mandatory. And AS2 just is not good at writing stuff like that.
I dunno, there's just something about Sharin no Kuni that irks me. It's not so much that it's slow, it's just uninteresting to me. Which is crazy, I know, because I generally don't mind slower paced stuff (hell I'm reading Wheel of Time book 8 right now and while I can certainly see why people complain about the pacing after book 5 it's not bothering me because I still like the characters enough to be okay just reading about them... and the impeccably decorated rooms they're in in their stylish dresses and suits).
