I feel like a lot of the issues when it comes to people's feelings about how Cap is treating Lym come from lack of information given to the player. Cap starts distancing himself from and distrusting Lym before the player is given any context for it. Even after Cap and Nyx have their discussion about why the MC is treating Lym the way he is, it takes a decent amount of time for those feelings to be justified to the player.
It makes complete sense for someone who was basically raised by the USF like Lym to be a blind loyalist, and it makes sense for Cap to know Lym has that blind loyalty, because they've known each other since childhood. The player hasn't though, and it just feels like you get suckerpunched by it a bit. It all makes sense, but after the fact. Like, you missed a scene or two
I feel like adding some extra dialogue or an extra scene that more directly hints at her loyalty to the USF earlier in the game would solve some of the problems people have. Don't get heavy-handed with it, but maybe after Momiji goes rogue there's extra dialogue or an added scene where Lym is more upfront in her denial and distrust in her sister. Just something that plants more seeds for the player.
I don't really agree with most of the complaints I've seen about Lym. I feel both her character and actions make sense for her character arch. That said, though I do feel she came off...honestly kinda cold when she had basically a non-reaction to seeing Cap had been shot. Even taking into account how confused and justifiably angry she is at him, you'd think she'd show at least a panicked reaction until she realizes he'll live and then go back to giving him the cold shoulder. Don't know if that was intended or not.
Will say though that despite my issues with it metioned above the game is great and has one of the best casts of characters in wegs imo. Hope we're not even close to the ending because i want to spend as much time with the characters and universe as i can.
