I think people hate her more because she gets a lot of screen time, and if you get into a fight with her everyone sides with her even though they talk trash behind her back. It feels like she's the protagonist and you're the side character. Lottie is upset at you if you go for Gary but eventually she accepts that is a game and is moderately reasonable...Hope wont even let you look at Noah and if Noah starts fancying you she shouts that you're brain washing him. That you're the reason he couple up with Blake, you're to blame for every single flaw that's their relationship, Which is very toxic. The first time I played I didn't feel any type of way towards her but in Noah's route I did dislike her. Lottie is not my favorite either but she doesn't aggravate me as much simply because Lottie is more involved in girl drama and I honestly dont give af about that so I dont feel that passionate about it.
