I checked out ANN's 1st impressions for Shield Hero.
Out of their 5 reviewers, only 2 gave it an OK score of 3 out of 5. (One of them reviews the LNs).

The other 3 disliked or hated it outright, mostly because of how the princess framed the MC.
One thing I notice about their reviewers is they let their socio-political views heavily influence their judgement of an anime, even if the anime didn't have any sort of views to begin with. And if said anime runs counter to those views, those are big grounds for them to hate it.

It was the same thing when they reviewed Death March - because Satou's companions were legally otherworld slaves they really bashed it hard (and other reasons, like hating Satou's characterization etc.)
