The Cynthia game was set in Olivine City so I could include Jasmine as a supporting character. She's my number two waifu. But as I wrote the game, a bunch of other minor original characters worked their way into the plot and kind of started to distract from Cynthia. I don't necessarily consider this to be a mistake or a flaw, but it does mean that the game doesn't deliver very well on the promise of being "a Cynthia dating Sim." It's not a dating Sim. It's a "wander around talking to people to try to figure out what's going" on kind of game. Not everyone's cup of tea.
For the Marnie game I wanted to have her be a fish out of water and I wanted Marnie and the player to be sort of isolated and stuck together. So I had it take place in Lumiose City with Marnie and the player trapped in a Groundhog Day style time loop, along with Celebi. Once again I think a legitimate criticism could be that Celebi has a big enough role to distract from Marnie, to the point where it also doesn't deliver very well as a "Marnie dating sim" even though you go on a whole bunch of dates with her over the course of the game.
Also some people have complained about the presence of yuri in the game. The reason why Marnie is in Kalos in the first place is because she's coming off of a bad breakup with Gloria. She mentions somewhat early in the game that she is bisexual. There's no actual Yuri in the game, and Gloria doesn't actually appear either, so I know what people are complaining about.
