I think above all else, I don't like how judgmental and myopic Edelgard is, and I find the moral justifications to her actions to be pretty weak and unconvincing to me personally, even in CF. For example I love how she doesn’t really show her emotions until you get close with her it makes her more realistic and relatable to me which makes me like her more while to others it might come off as stand-offish.

Byleth is a silent self-insert protag with almost no personality of their own, so I had a really hard time roleplaying out siding with Edelgarde since I couldn't see myself personally doing it.

Somehow I don't feel like I care about my troubles with love anymore. And also don't understand what villain means either. It's not surprising how much some people dislike her. 6 talking about this. I think the reason she doesn’t tell byleth of her betrayal is she thinks that byleth would have sided with the church no matter what.
