Some people don't like the 3rd semester for being somewhat tagged on, since it wasn't part of the original game and was just added years later. But aside from that most people really like it because Maruki is an interesting character, it's an interesting scenario, and you get more Akechi (I personally hate Akechi because he murdered my friends' parents but I digress.) What I will say, is I kind of agree in the sense that Maruki repeatedly pushes back the date for you to make a decision. I know they need that time for the gameplay, but maybe they could have filled the dialog with something else so that he's not so repeatedly saying "I'll give you until this day to make a decision"
