eichi has done a lot. he fought to become the top idol of yumenosaki academy and used some pretty ruthless and underhanded methods to achieve his goals, effectively crushing the dreams of many. the main story is not yet completely translated, but if i'm not mistaken, i think that's where you see a lot of what eichi does.

it's also revealed in events, like in Marionette, detailing the fall of Valkyrie -- the past top unit until fine came and destroyed them.

here's a quote from Wataru describing his actions from the past in marionette:

 "The Eichi of those days.. did not discriminate in his methods for the sake of winning, so, you see. Both on and off of the stage, he used all of the methods at his disposal.

Surprise attacks, foul play, sneak attacks…… It was a splendid banquet of anything and everything, so, you see!

Ahh, how dreadful, what life had he walked to be so curdled in malice, I wonder?"

daydream - from the novel, which you can find here https://maluridae.dreamwidth.org/5841.html - also shares some important insight (highly recommend!)

this is just scratching the surface, really, but if you start reading the event stories, more often than not there will be something with eichi/fine or the student council. all in all, there's plenty of reasons why people hate him. personally, he's one of my favorite characters in enstars, and he has definitely done wrong. however, he isn't as shallow and one-dimensional as some people like to paint him on here.
