It's...
bad but not that bad.
The storytelling and especially characterization aren't too good but that's about it I think. Everyone seems to hate the characters but I can't see myself doing that at all.
What's happening here is just a case of the author's characterization being inadequate, whether intentionally or not. You know, that kind of thing where authors create their characters in a comic-bookish way with a specific goal in mind of making readers either love or hate them.
It's just that because the character(s) these readers are supposed to hate/love don't get the ending they think they "deserve", many readers raise their pitchforks.
I personally think the series is pretty enjoyable in spite of the poor characterization. It doesn't require as much thinking as a mystery or as much fortitude as a horror so you can just let the story flow, chill, and read.
That said, it doesn't mean I don't enjoy mystery or horror though. But just imagine a mystery or a horror with a bad characterization. It will be much less enjoyable to read than a relatively simple story like this.
