Yes, Isabelle is adorable and very sweet. I even own the build a bear plushie of her. But behind that sweet smile and cutesy attitude, there lies a hidden vicious DEMON. Here are the reasons of why I don’t like Isabelle:

The island evals. She pushes you away from your creative visions and makes you develop the island how she wants it. Don’t want any trees or flowers? Too bad! Need to store your turnips outside and not in your house? She revokes your 5 star rating down to four stars for “too much trash.” She also ALWAYS WANTS MORE STUPID FLOWERS. Whenever she gives me that suggestion, I want to throw my switch across the room. One time, I even went out to individually count all of my flowers. And guess what? I had around 275 of them planted on my island. Then I went to the bulletin board and wrote a fake post from Isabelle out of sheer rage. The post said:
***** (name blurred out for privacy), if you want to get a 5 star rating, plant thousands of flowers. That’s impossible, so your island is stuck at 4 stars forever! HAHAHAHAHA
- Isabelle
Just to be clear. I wrote that post. But I felt like that’s what I Isabelle was secretly telling me.

She tries to hide her negative comments with her smile, but she can’t fool me. She was sent by Satan himself to control my island.

When she’s outside during events and there’s a tarantula/scorpion nearby, she doesn’t notice it. Luckily, all of the villagers do. So at least they aren’t idiots or oblivious. They’re smart for recognizing the danger. But still, how is Isabelle oblivious? Either she’s stupid or does actually notice but pretends that everything is fine.

Those are my thoughts on Isabelle. I think she’s a vicious demon sent to our islands to ruin everyone’s day.
 
I want to address two Elephants in the room:

1: The island evaluations aren't followed by her own rules, but rather, she's gathering information on the commentor's opinions on how the island is being handled and taken care of. She has to get all the reports from others, as she seldom ever gets out of the building aside from events, kart racing, smash bros, other spin off titles and whatnot.

2: She obviously wasn't [KEYWORD] "coded" to react to the dangerous bugs that the other villagers do, because Nintendo didn't think to add that extra feature to her reactions.

Isabelle isn't doing anything wrong, not even the daily announcements.
Think about it, do you REALLY think anything goes on in a remote island with nothing but a total of 10 villagers living at a time, 8 extra human players, 10 permanent NPCs, (9 if you choose not to invite Brewster to your island) and several other special visitors coming over to your island? Of course not much goes on, so Isabelle has all rights not to announce much. And when she rambles on with her daily activities, all she's really doing is adding more to something that isn't really going on, I mean she probably does like to show others her feelings for being locked in a building 24/7.

Give her some credit, she's a very busy dog with actual heart.
 
I think she is very cute. Her personality is like a stereotypical schoolgirl in anime (kind of scattered, but optimistic, etc.), which I love. She's also a Shih Tzu, like my dog, so I'm biased that way lol.
 
i agree, tom nook is secretly a puppet played by isabelle to do her dirty work. nobody wants to think that a cute shih tzu is manipulating them into debt so she uses the raccoon. isabelle the gangster. /j

I wish she would:
1. let me kick out my own villagers like i'm the ****ing RR why can't I do that
2. make villager punishments harsher. instead of the slap on the wrist they get, it should be prison sentences
3. actually do something more useful like i dont give three craps what my town tune sounds like!!!! i want something actually useful like tom nook

there's so much i can't do as the rr like am i in power or is isabelle in power??? gah damn i can't even fire her
 
How can you actually hate her?? She’s so adorable! Also, she’s just doing her best… I don’t think she means to be annoying.
 
She's just a little virtual sweet heart, who's doing her best to help you with your island. It's not like Tom is stepping in to help her. Give her some credit for having to deal with that guy all day. Poor girl.

Maybe the tarantulas/scorpions are working for her. 😂
I think she's a cute NPC. I hope Nintendo does more with her in the future.
 
Before the final update her announcements were annoying. Why it took them over a year and half to switch from random banter to real useful announcements is something I'll never know. There's only so much lost socks, everything puts me to sleep, zoom with parents, my favorite show that I can take.

But I like her.
