It's subjective. From what I've seen in this thread, your cipher is so complex that it's hard even for you to use correctly.
To say if it's simple or not, we need some scale, let's try to establish some scale using examples.
Let's say the simplest possible cipher is the simple substitution. A more complex cipher is the Vigenère. Both of these require just a single quick lookup into a table to encode a character. I think it's absolutely clear that your cipher is way harder to use than these two. So it's not easy and not simple. Maybe it's moderate complexity, maybe it's hard, but it's certain that there are ciphers much simpler than that.
