I hate Isabelle and I hate the fact that she's basically the face of Animal Crossing now. I never really liked her when I first saw her because, to me, she was (and is) a very ugly dog... but as I kept playing, it gave me good reasons to hate her.
I feel like there's more I have to list in there, but I currently can't think of them.
Everyone who likes or loves her thinks she's a sweet "secretary", but in reality, she's just very guilt trippy.
I've discussed elsewhere that she's very guilt trippy, but when I said specifically in quotes what could be considered that to me, others have argued against it, saying that she's just so hardworking and how could I possibly view that in such ways?
Yes, the thing with the PWPs can be annoying, but that's not even the part that bothers me. It's her character.
She says a lot of things to make you feel bad for her. Whether it's her intention or not, there's just many times where she mentions things that shouldn't even need to be mentioned, but then apologizes for mentioning it. She's just very apologetic. She acts like we're going to punish her for talking about those things.
I'm also not a fan of her constant positive attitude. I've never liked anyone like that, it just feels all fake. Even if it's not fake, it's just not my cup of tea to deal with someone positive all the time.
Examples of situations or things I hate from her:
1. When you're first starting your town and you can do the extra things for her in that tutorial sort of way to earn tools, she asks about you going to the beach and if you could bring her a seashell. I can give you the exact dialogue she says for this:
"...Oh! I know! If you have the time, why don't the two of us go down there together right now!"
"It would be nice to find a seashell to take home as a souvenir of our little trip..."
"Ah! Oh my! I should apologize! That was too bold of me, wasn't it?"
"Really, it would be enough if you from time to time pressed Y to quickly pick up some seashells."
"If you happen to go down to the beach and remember that, it would be a nice thing to do...for me."
(after getting a seashell for her)
"Also, it would make me really happy if you'd pick me up a seashell as a souvenir of your little trip there..."
(decides to give it to her)
"Oh my! You actually remembered to bring me a seashell?!"
Yes, Isabelle, I actually brought you a seashell because otherwise I can't progress.
Also, the fact that she said "...for me" with the blushing emote made me cringe.
2. There is another time where she apologizes again for talking about her home and to not tell her brother for whatever reason.
"Oh! Mayor [name]! Have you settled in and finished unpacking?"
(says yes)
"Wow! Really?! You must be pretty efficient when it comes to moving!"
"My bedroom is completely full of unpacked cardboard boxes, and it feels like I moved so long ago!"
"Sorry! Please don't tell my brother! I don't let him into my room for just this reason! Ahem!"
Stop. Apologizing. For. Talking. About. Yourself.
3. When you don't get on in a long time, she'll talk about how she filled in your shoes for you and did as much as she could, when that could be far from the truth. She can't even do the weeds, she has to hire someone else to do it for her. She doesn't take care of my villagers while I'm away, she doesn't do public works projects for me (as much as she loves to control where they can and can't go), and if my town isn't a Beautiful Town, she doesn't take care of the flowers either. So what does she do while any of us is away? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Isabelle?s really nice but I don?t really like her, her personality is too boring for me.
Plus I?m not really a small dog person. If I had to choose; I?d way rather pick an uchi or cranky cat to take her place. They?d be way more interesting!

I think she's cute but I don't love her. I feel she's taken the spot light away from multiple characters to a single entity.
Maybe it's the people I talk to but everyone's favourite NPC has seemed to become Isabelle and no one wants to talk about the other NPCs.
Before a single NPC didn't really dominate the screen; Tom Nook made you work for your house yes but he didn't feel overwhelmingly present and KK Slider, Mable, Blathers, Cooper, Resetti, Katie, Blanca, Timmy & Tommy, Gracie all felt special and not an after thought. No single NPC should feel more important than another and with the introduction of Isabelle I feel like no other NPC could ever shine as much.
But she is cute, but I just wish she had a lesser role.

Yeah I quite like Isabelle. She is so sweet and kind. I love how hard working she is toward making the town a better place! She really seems to care for you,the villagers and the well being of the town. I just love how hard she tries to make every festival exciting and wants everyone to have a good time. I couldn't imagine anyone better for the job than Isabelle. She also has such an adorable design! I really like her a lot and couldn't imagine anyone else taking her place.

Yeah, I guess I do. I mean, it's not like I have the strongest feelings towards her but she's trying her best, generally cares about the town and who probably should be the mayor herself cuz she won't leave it for 2 years
