I wouldn't say that dislike your game in general. I bought it and high rated it.
This is only my opinion, I think MC shouldn't be that alpha or badass, you're right, it would be a kind of cliche. In routes that include LOVE relations with Cassie, pretty strong and confident girl, MC should be more confident with her. I don't believe in Cassie's love completely now, but if I'm wrong and she really fell to him, this connection shouldn't last long.
Please Cap, give MC just a bit more masculinity in upcoming game days.
