The episode that makes everyone I know hate him is in episode 18. Fed up with being unable to save anyone in the current scenario he's trapped in, Subaru decides to finally give up, and asks his demon maid Rem to runaway with him. Rem, who had died many times for him in various failed scenarios (including one where she drags her twisted body to him in order to free him and die beside him) begins to describe a fantasy where they runaway and live happy lives together, before saying that she couldn't do that if it meant he was giving up, because she loves the real him who never gives up. Subaru's response to this entire heartfelt confession is simply "I love Emillia," a half-elf in line to rule the country who saved him in a previous failed scenario. Since the original scenario he met her in, he's been completely obsessed. Despite her pushing him away, barely attempting to understand him, and accusing him of lying when he tried telling the truth. The comments for this episode were filled with anger over this. He chose someone who has done very little for him over someone who had died over and over for him.
