I can understand that. I dislike helpless heroines as much as I hate weak-willed, milquetoast protoganists. There's a place for that thematically, but a lot of times it just stinks of wish fulfillment.
I'd love to read a more broad criticism of it, should you find the time to write one up. I haven't read it yet, but I find it enjoyable measuring up movies/VNs/games to criticism as I go along.
