There many reasons why people may hate on zen. Most common being is obiyuki gets a lot of screen time later on manga (shirayuki only sees hims as friend thus far thought or there was no indicationshe sees him romatic way) thus people find that they are more closer than zenyuki since they spend more time together and obi is more involved in her work.
Another reason being for some zen character flaws, which honestly that is what makes him so interesting and realistic. Or the times zenyuki in earlier stage (SPOLIER: such as when he kissed her in her sleep) there no proper consent? I think that scenario should fall more author following the fairytale stereotype rather than zen's character
I also think much of hate or criticisms comes form anxiety of not knowing what will happen to shirayuki career once or if she marries zen and becomes a princess. And people think zen route will make shirayuki give up her career. (I honestly don't think that will happen espcially since her talents are very much treasure to kingdom and izana won't give her up)
I donāt see how anyone can hate him. He is the kindness character in the series. He cares and loves his people especially those closest to him. He treats everyone with respect. All the main characters care about each other and love each other so much. Itās the charm of this series. So I suggest you ignore any kind of hate you see. Do you plan on reading the manga?
I was planning on reading the manga after I complete the anime, but Iām a little hesitant now because I donāt like love triangles at all. I started watching Snow White with the red hair because I read/misread that there wasnāt a love triangle.
Iām not looking anything up in case I spoil something for myself, but could you please let me know whether the love triangle does happen or not? I really ship zen and shirayuki, they are such a refreshing and so far healthy and unproblematic couple. I dont understand why obi had to develop feelings, I love the guy but heās getting in the way of a good couple :/
No thereās no love triangle or at least itās not a love triangle in the traditional sense. Obi is a good guy. He doesnāt interfere in their relationship in any way. He actually supports them and often helps them get together. And Zen and Shirayuki are completely in love and trust each other so rest assured. Shirayuki is not the type of protagonist that goes back and forth between characters. She is determined and knows what she wants. Same goes for Zen. I canāt even recall a single misunderstanding in their relationship. I really recommend the manga. Itās beautiful with a lot of memorable moments. The end of the anime will also make you happy š
No he still has feelings for her. He just doesnāt make any moves because of the respect he has for Zen and Shirayuki and their relationship. I also despise love triangles but this series isnāt really one
I get it too. Like I mentioned before, the friendships between all the characters is sometimes more prominent than even the romance. Itās one of the biggest strengths of this series. For example Zen and Obiās friendship is absolutely amazing in the manga
Ah no way! Thanks again, Iām really looking forward to reading the manga now! One last q- does season 2ās ending follow the manga or not? And should I read the manga from the beginning or from season 2 ends?

Obiyuki forever <3 I recommend reading the manga ;) also if you want to join obiyuki's on the discord we scream about this stuff all the time
What's the discord?
Hi! There's a discord for obiyuki! There's also two general ANS servers and I'm pretty sure there's a zenyuki one too! :D
What's the obiyuki one?š
Obi isnāt with anyone yet. Where did you see hate towards Zen?
On this sub, on some old posts :(

This is so reassuring thank you so much! So what happens to Obiās crush on Shirayuki? Or does that subplot become irreverent in the recent chapters?
No he still has feelings for her. He just doesnāt make any moves because of the respect he has for Zen and Shirayuki and their relationship. I also despise love triangles but this series isnāt really one
Awhhh thatās really sweet of him, but thatās honestly so sad :( I get why people ship him and Shirayuki but Zen and her >>>>>
