People claim they want complex female characters but complain because they didn't get their average strong female lead.
People are complaining that the female lead is weak and she's not a good duchess as if that wasn't the whole point of the story. She was neglected and had no one to teach her, unlike most female leads in other stories who have the advantage of being either reincarnated or isekai'd.
Her being 'annoying' was the whole arc of showing how hopeless her situation was where she had no support system, and the only thing she could do was try, because she would just end up with nothing if she didn't.
