The criticism I'd level there is that it feels cliche more than anything. But I mean, Yukiko does go into some research/actions towards other career choices. I never got resignation out of her decision. I can understand if you think she "gave up" on her other job searches too quickly because from our perspective it happened entirely off-screen but that's not the same as resignation in my mind. I mean, to me that implies she's still harboring resentment about the outcome. But her S-Link explicitly gives her the option of subverting the inn and she forcefully rejects that and when confronted with the opportunity to damage the inn (and by extension "free" herself from it) she realizes what it really means to her. Yukiko's issue was never that she didn't want to run the inn, it was that she felt she had no choice in her future and attached the resentment stemming from that to the inn.
I think I sorta see where you're coming from here, I just think you're attributing your dislike for the outcome.
To expand on Rise, even though you said you sorta agreed. I feel she generally went through this progression. Pre-Investigation Team Rise saw her idol persona as a fake, phony, manufactured personality that she presented to the public. Her depression came from the fact that she felt people only saw Risette and not Rise, and furthermore they only liked Risette. Upon facing her shadow she comes to realize that "Risette" isn't entirely fake and phony. Aspects of that personality are "real" to her. Nonetheless she still sees it as something separate from her. A performance. The S-Link follows up on this where the lesson she thinks she's learned is that since Risette was just a performance, she can safely discard it and live fully as Rise, with people that appreciate her. What the S-Link explores is that Risette was really more than a performance, it was part of her. It takes things like Nanako's innocent inability to distinguish the two as different as well as her manager's comments once she quits to have her fully come to that realization and to fully accept that side of herself. ---
