^HE has a odd voice and is designed for a niche audience, it makes Ryuto a tough love for some. If you use him for XSY for example, prepare to have a very strange result, perhaps even butchered or LQ depending on who you use him with or how you use him. The voice also has a small vocal range and you can't actually do much with him overall... He isn't that useful as most of what you try and do with him basically doesn't ever sound right at all. He is also one of the voices known to have some tone collapsing. Then there is the note because "voice acted = no realism" means he can struggle to sound naturally human at times. Its the same problem Miku, the Kagamines and Luka had.

He is a good vocaloids for his results as he was made by Internet co., Ltd, but he was a V2 vocal originally and a lot of the V2's had their fair share of problems, but he and Lily came in the latter half, with improvements over Gumi and Gackpo added. His V3 is an improvement, but he is still using the V2 voice since all they had to do was add triphones they extracted from samples used for constructing the voice. They did this for Megpoid and a lot of their V2->V3 results.

Its understandable for this reason regardless of whatever you feel why people dislike the vocal. I think if he was made now he would be better but the result of people's opinions would still be divided. Its a niche market Vocaloid who isn't a professional singer and struggles to produce good results, a triple whammy of issues. That's without the "little kid" voice and "male vocal" aspects taken into account.

They weren't going to make a V3 for him either originally but Gachapin had hi 40th anniversary event and it was a big deal, so the voice was then updated for V3, it was just squeezed in at the end with Chika before V4 hit. There wasn't much time for Chika and Ryto V3 to get much notice and not a lot of people used it. He is always among the least popular Vocaloids from Japan and I'll not be surprised if Internet struggles to feel they need to update him again. When they said of English vocals, Lily and Gackpo were raised in V2's era, so its pretty clear they don't want to update him much if at all.
