I think part of this impression about Val is because some of dev's patrons.Man, the relationship with Val really leaves a bad taste.
Yesterday I was trying a solo path for Iris, which unfortunately doesn't exist, I got to the end of the update single, but with Val still interested, even though I hadn't done anything with her, and since the save was basically useless, I decided to use it for Val, but it was really bad.
Before kissing Val, she was really interested in the MC, always looking at him and flirting with him, but that ended after they finally kissed, everything for her is a maybe, she tries to put a barrier between them, makes it clear that it's not something serious, and the worst part is how the MC acts, my MC went from someone who wasn't interested in Val to someone obsessed with her, and he picks her up every time they're together, even though she says she doesn't like it, and she comments on it.
And the fact that she doesn't like being picked up isn't used well in my opinion, because she gets picked up all the time, and not just by the MC, and that gives MORE points with her.
What made me try this save with Val, even though I had given up on her before, was seeing how she looked at him, and flirted with him, even though my MC didn't show any interest in her, as I mentioned before, trying a solo path with Iris I reached the end of the update single, and with that I was able to observe how all the girls acted with the MC when he was single.
It's not really a problem with Val, but how Nyx used her and this change between before and after they kissed.
IIRC between the Val liking MC, all the flirting and the barrier you said, there was some talk here about patrons asking for competition for MC regarding the girls (now i dont remember if all the girls or just Val), then dev used Daryl for it....then beach/gym update happened and a lot of players (including me) didnt like it. I dont know when exactly this "competition" thing started, but i think it was set in motion on the trip...because was there that Daryl started to get too touchy with Val, and Val mentioned others were doing the same and got angry.
At least this was what i read in the thread at the time about the subject, im not on her Discord to know if the whole ask for competition actually happened or not...or if it was her plan to have Val actually playing the field all along.
About MC being "obsessed" with her, maybe was a way dev used to show MC insecure because there was other guy competing with him for a girl he likes....just a theory.
About MC picking her up, i think the difference is that she likes him so she doesn't mind...and makes sense, ppl will set different standards regarding some stuff for ppl they like...and what make me think this is the fact that she jumps on MC by herself at least twice, and any other guy touching or picking her up makes her get angry.
