i think some people see it as a bad omen for potentially dragging out the story for over 100 chapters. its a common running pattern for romance manga like this so i understand most people's frustrations. I really love this manga and its general vibe, and I too, would hate for the plot to pad out and stretch itself thin, putting the quality in jeopardy.I get being angry that she weenied out, but is nobody going to acknowledge her indirect confession at all?
I guess I can sympathize with that-- that would have probably been well-received if she fully intended an indirect confession instead of retreating to it as a salvaging of her fumbling.
