I didn't find re episodic or repetitive.

Right now the main plot is to make Haise remember his past and he is doing so by meeting people of his past. That's the main plot for me right now and you can't say there wasn't development. Haise started as terrified by his past self, he couldn't even say Kaneki's name and right now he is trying to discover more about his past. He has been lying to Arima and has covered Uta and Shuu.

Up until now the story has been organized in a pretty neat way: each arc focuses on an investigation or operation which drags old characters in the plot, so Haise has the chance to meet them. That's the main focus right now.

I don't find it really different from how TG was. In the first part of the manga each arc consisted in Kaneki meeting different ghouls and discovering different aspects of the ghoul life. At the beginning the plot was really simple and became more complex only after other character (like Amon) and Aogiri were introduced. Even after that the main focus kept being Kaneki's development. Thus, TG ended with the end of Ken Kaneki's story.

What I think people call main plot like Aogiri's objectives, V, the secrets of the CCG has alsways been subordinated to the charcaters' story in TG. They will become more important as the characters develop and discover more about these subjects. So I think that Ishida has done a great job with :re up until now since he has been managing many characters really well and has been giving them development.
