Alright, I can't go into all of them so I'll just list the Major Three and if you want to know more about the Overall Issues and Problems that are actually involved with DmC!Dante's Hatred among the Fanbase, then Click Hereas this Video by a Youtuber named Foxcade actually goes into the full Situation with all of the Details and the Like about the Dislike for DmC!Dante (Which is a lot more Complicated than you think) and can go into the Details than I possibly can (Just expect a Long Period of Watch Time for Part 2)


 * Toxicity: One of the Many and In My Opinion, Biggest Reason that DmC!Dante is hated is due to the Resulting Toxicity that stemmed from the Initial Reveal Trailer between the DMC Fanbase and Ninja Theory as due to the Fan base's Massive Amount of Backlash towards the Initial DmC!Dante's Reveal and it eventually reached a Breaking Point when Employee's began receiving Death Threats which resulted in the Director of the Game, Tameem Antoniades to begin responding Negatively to the Fanbase saying various things that only served to further the resulting Controversy and Toxicity behind DmC's Development and DmC!Dante's Conception.

Neither side was really in the Right here as the Fans shouldn't have gone that far with the Backlash and Tameem (While understandably defending his Co-Workers) shouldn't have responded the way he did to the Backlash as it only did nothing but instead fuel the flames of Discord that was ultimately spreading between the two Sides. Now before I finish explaining, I'd like to answer something you said in regards to Travis being liked but DmC!Dante not and something JesterofGames said says it best which I'll try to paraphrase here while also adding in points.
 * Poor Communications/Statements: Another issue that ultimately stemmed from Tameem are various Interviews that he had with Gaming Mediea Outlets where in said Interviews, a large amount of his Statements and Points in regards to DmC Devil May Cry ultimately caused the Controversy to began growing even further since most of his Statements and Interviews were either him more or less insulting DMC and the Original Dante or Taking Shots at Lady and Trish as Characters (The Interviews is in Part 2 of Foxcade's Video) which ultimately didn't help as he was more or less, insulting the Series that he was making a Reboot of, This Could be Attributed to ignorance if these Interviews happened before the Controversy however based on the Interviews and based on the Video by Foxcade... That is not the case even if the points he were making had SOME weight but were being muddled.
 * Capcom: I'm going to keep this Section Brief since this is honestly a Cavalcade of Things that is honestly being rectified by Capcom to this day but too put it simply, Capcom wanted to have a DMC Game with a More Western Take and Outsourced it too Ninja Theory which wasn't that Perplexing as they've done so before and surprisingly, Capcom kept pushing for the Massive Amount of Changes towards the Reboot while Ninja Theory wanted to actually try and keep him Faithful to the Original.

The Reason that Travis is More Appreciated and Liked and DmC!Dante is Disliked from a Character Perspective is Quite Simple: Writing.

Travis is Written much better as a Character as he does a lot of the Same Things that DmC! Dante does except he is Generally more Funny and has a More Believable Character Arc that he goes through in the Games as well as Displaying more Sympathetic Traits than what is Displayed with DmC!Dante during the Events of DmC: Devil May Cry outside of his "Sad" Backstory (Putting in the Air Quotes since I don't see the Appeal of his Backstory Personally)

Travis is an Asshole trying to get Laid something the Games make rather clear however the Games (Specifically No More Heroes 2) makes it clear that Travis cares about his Friends and actually Regrets his Actions such as when one of the Assassins Commit Suicide and Later on in the Game is Shown even more. What also helps Travis is that he is a Huge Nerd (Something a Lot of People can Relate too) and they make it clear that Travis does have Honor which he shows when he refuses to kill a Large Majority of his Female Opponents during the Events of No More Heroes 1 until Forced too and Shows it again for the Most Part in No More Heroes 2.

DmC!Dante in the Meantime is Rather Poorly Handled due to the Games rather... Horrid Writing.

DmC!Dante is Written to be an Asshole (Like Travis) however unlike Travis, the Game's writing doesn't do much to showcase that DmC!Dante has any Redeeming Qualities and doesn't display any Sympathetic Qualities that would make the Players begin to Like him as a Character, which doesn't help that everything that DmC!Dante says is either an Insult to Someone, A Very Bad Joke, or just outright rude comment all together.

Travis does all of these things as well but the Writing is what matters here as the Writers of No More Heroes made sure to show that their was more to Travis aside from all of that and actually put in Effort to Show that Travis is more than what he initially appears to see while the Writing for DmC doesn't really do much to do that outside of Kat who is more or less there to serve as a Crutch to actually Show said Sympathetic Side of DmC!Dante who despite that still had points where he acted like an Asshole towards her.

Too Put it into Perspective, Travis was Given Development and Was able to show his More Sympathetic and Redeeming Sides without the need for someone to actually Pull it out for him while DmC!Dante required Kat to Pull that side of him out.

Ultimately as I said before, it comes down to Writing and in this Scenario where why Travis is liked while DmC Dante is Hated, it's Simply because the Writers of No More Heroes actually put forward a lot of Effort in Developing Travis as a Character and Giving him a Character Arc that not only dispalyed more Sides to him aside from what he Initially Displays but also Develop that Side Further and Show how the type of Person that he can actually be while Ninja Theory didn't Accomplish that with the Writing which is why Travis is Liked and DmC!Dante is hated despite both having similar points.

If you want more Details on the Reasons why DmC Dante is actually Hated, As I mentioned before, Foxcade's Videos would be the Place to go.
