A lot of this is just gratuitous gore, but I like the MC, so I'll keep reading. They do a good job of setting up some emotional stakes, and it's more fun to see some people live and some people die rather than all one or the other.
I see Edgelords being like "when is she going to learn to be less sympathetic, dumb, etc" as if they haven't interacted with another human before. And like, fair, I get that sometimes it is annoying to see a character try to do a good thing in a series people read to live out their dark violent fantasies. But also, suck it, weenie. It hurts seeing people acting better than you in a shittier situation and that's the point. You aren't going to be happy no matter how many times they "get what's coming to them"
