Yeah this update apparently got a lot of people mad because instead of a clear separation between Sylus' and Zayne's branches, you get Sylus' ending before the end of the chapter and then you narratively switch to Zayne's the next day, and a worryingly big chunk of people are freaking out because there's "romance in the main story line", which they were used to considering neutral with romance being only in the cards/affinity bonds etc. Except it was never neutral when a LI was on screen, even if we weren't in a properly dedicated branch like the ones you just played through. All the other chapters are linear in timeline, and you slip into a specific LI's branch the moment you have said LI in front of you.
Plus, time has passed in the main story line, it's normal that MC is more flirty compared to the start of the game where she'd just met these guys?
idk. I guess some don't like the fact that they can't ignore MC being lovey-dovey with a LI they don't like because it's right there in the main story and they can't avoid it like they can avoid a card.
95% it will be like that once we get the next update with the other 3 LIs, I'll look forward to you witnessing the next implosion.

LOL the main tag on tumblr sure loves caleb a lot, I definitely noticed that. Especially because the fandom insists on tagging every single LI even if the post is only about one, so it's easy to see if very active blogs have a main or two they focus on.
In the time I've spent scouring the tag I found some good Raf and Sylus meta, but surprisingly or not, the bulk of lore and character analysis seems to exist on youtube.

Ahhh it will be fun once you're up to date with the content and we'll be able to properly experience the new one in real time
