I'm a Sena fan if anything, but I have to say even I'm kind of surprised by how much more well liked she seems to be than Yozora, since I think they're both neat characters, and perfect foils for one another.

Yozora's provocations and needling of the other girls seem to earn her a fair amount of ire, yet I could name four male harem leads off of the top of my head who act as gadflies, and snarkers - sometimes even outright bullies - to the rest of the cast, and it's usually done for laughs. Maybe when it's female-on-female snark, it carries more catty, less playful implications.

For me, Yozora's "cruelty" flip back and forth between being amusing in the way she outwits Sena (usually), and being entertaining just for its shock value.
