Which are your favorite characters of fictional stories you don't actually like?

A friend asked me why I had a Sasuke anime figure. I told him I like Sasuke he is an interesting character. He responded to me but well you don't even like the series Naruto.
I didn't say the following but I could have replied. If the series had been centred around Sasuke and not around Naruto maybe I would have liked the series more.

I have two Ken Kaneki figures. But I quit following the series Tokyo Ghoul to the end. I considered the episode very epic where his hair became white due to the torture he experienced. When I was 18 I could relate so much to this feeling that the pain I went through altered me, my personality and mental state. I am not a super fan of Tokyo Ghoul. But I still like Ken Kaneki a lot. And the opening is so epic.

Never watched any of these animes, but I find it funny that apparently the name of the tragic character in Naruto literally begins with SaSu (Sanctioned Suicide)

I love a good villain. I don't read books much at all but, in film/ TV- I think a well acted villain really makes a show. Not that I would admire them in real life at all and, it would be a nightmare to actually meet someone like that. But then- that's the beauty of media really. We get to experience/ observe these characters from a position of safety.

I even enjoy games where you play a disruptive character. Not necessarily an evil character- just one who can be irritating and annoy others. Like- 'Untitled Goose Game'. The whole point of the game is to be as obnoxious as possible. It isn't actually hurting anyone. No violence involved. More- working out how to prank the other characters. A licence to be naughty. Again- I suppose it indulges a rebellious side that I can't or, don't much in real life.

The villain of AJIN demi human, the protag is questionable, maybe I'm neurodivergent and can't understand him. He's both a psychopath and a good guy for some reason, like his moral compass is all over the scale, it'd made more sense if he has DID. He has faith in humanity even though it's made clear the entire world hates him. Also made stupid decisions and I believe we are supposed to think he's smart? I don't know it's just all over the place.

The terrorist villain though, he's consistent, he hates humanity, he will do anything to achieve his goals and he's brilliant. And I'm a misanthropist who wants humans to die so I like him. After getting sick of the MC's shit I looked up the ending and he loses so I dropped the show.
