I think the first thing that made players irritated was the pay-scale for the intimate scenes. In all the other books, it's 30 diamonds for 1 scene - not 10 diamonds for the first step, 15 diamonds for the second step, and 18 diamonds for the third step (for example). Also the intimate scenes are shorter compared to other books. And the non-intimate diamond scenes are short too (like choosing to forgive Tomas or selling the compass). Also, you have to pay to be nice and if you don't pay, you're basically pretty rude or "cold".

It might have been better-receptive if it stayed with 30 diamonds for the intimate scenes, and if players could be nice without spending diamonds. We generally spend diamonds to set people up together or to be "extra" nice, like you can be nice speaking but if you want to do something extra-special like buy a gift or take your LI somewhere, that costs the extra diamonds.
