Thanks, Heiko. :)

Before going into further details, I would like to clarify for the readers like
me, who do not read carefully at first, that we are talking about the character
styles only, not the paragraph and other styles.  

Well. There are some bullet points to agree/disagree with.

1. 
I agree that having the option to build a hierarchy of character styles is a
great thing. We should not get rid of it, even if most of the users don't use
it. One source of the power of LO is that it is extremely feature-rich. I would
like to keep this and not make it "more streamlined" or "simpler" in terms of
the feature set, like many "modern" software does. (The easiness of usage,
however, is a different thing, I admit.) So let's keep features and based on
this, let's figure out how to make it easy to use. 

2.
I agree that the UI for such complex document structures is not easy.

3. 
How should we indicate what styles are turned on at the actual character?

I re-read my proposal in
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112852#c9. The illustration
after that comment may be not the best but I still think that such a tool could
explain well how the rules with higher importance override the rules of lower
importance. The strike-through notation in the Developer Tools of the modern
browser, I think, does this job very well. In order to make my earlier proposal
easier to understand, I created a new illustration with a lot of verbal
explanation within the document. Please, check it.

Some keywords and highlights from the attachment so that it can be indexed: 
- applying more character styles (current and desired behaviour)
- cascade
- description of how the Style Explorer should work
- greyed out and strike-through
- toggling rules
- drag-and-drop reordering of the character styles
- "Select Similar", "Select Similar to Left" and "Select Similar to Right"
toolbar buttons
- "Extend Selection to Neighbourhood", "Extend Selection to Left Neighbourhood"
and "Extend Selection to Right Neighbourhood" toolbar buttons
