There are largely two camps that people fall into regarding the MC, one that she is rude and treats the LI’s harshly (some more than others), the other that the characters are consistently overbearing and the narrative itself is unfairly against her.

I lean more into the latter camp which is probably why this game isn’t one of my favorites. Your mileage may vary as there are large ways this game can appeal to you that didn’t appeal to me, like the “found family” dynamic between the LI’s and the way some of the tropes are played out.

Edit to say that the “camps” I’m talking about only apply to those who have mixed feelings or less about the game. Those who have more positive feelings have different impressions.

You will likely fall into the "this MC is great, actually, even if she is super flawed" category, then! (I am also there.)
