-ly forms

The book that I'm reading now says:

... people manage to communicate extremely effectively and relatively unproblematically...


I don't like so many consecutive '-ly forms', but that's just my opinion . What do you think when reading a sentence like this? I would have tried to avoid such a quantity of adverbs following one another. Do you think that it's common in English?

Thanks.
