Hey Pandas, What’s Your Example Of “Hate The Character, Love The Book”
Look, it's happened to you, me, and anyone who can read.

Harry Potter.
I don't like his character one bit. Not in the books, not in the films not in the games.
For me the books were about the world created and I was more interested in Hermione and Ron. I Genuinely believe that the books would have been much better if Hermione was the titular character.
I didn't really see any distinct personality in him at all. He was an average student, not a jerk but not a saint, no quirks or interesting traits except the scar and "you've got your mother's eyes" which IMO is a pretty unoriginal trope. His personality is literally just "orphaned main character." I totally agree, he was not an interesting character at all.
For me, it's the protagonist and titular character of the Ruby Redfort series, which is a now-published book within a book.
I hate this child. She is a Mary Sue.
She has rich parents who love her but also kind of leave her alone, cookie-cutter best friends, she is EXTREMELY smart (getting a scholarship to Harvard at about 10 years old-which she turns down because she "doesn't want to be a geek freak"), is AMAZING at everything she does (basketball, drawing, academics), BARELY EVER shows up to school and SOMEHOW is getting all As, jumps the line of sassy and funny to just plain rude (ex: her shirt says "a bozo says what", and her mother, trying to read it, asks "what?", to which Ruby replies, "exactly." my scrawny lil self would be grounded if i said that to my parents), is the most popular kid in school even though she makes no effort to make friends or anything like that, BEAT UP A 17-YEAR-OLD WHEN SHE WAS 7, and all-around, is an annoying brat who I would enjoy throwing out a window.
You lost me at "doesn't want to be a geek freak". All the best adults were freaky geek kids.
fitz from keeper of the lost cities.
let me explain, so keeper of the lost cities is about sophie, a girl who finds out shes an elf,(stay with me here,) and is wisked away to a magical world and has to fight evil and stuff, I won't spoil most of it but I will say that sophie has complicated feelings about her biological parents, and she likes fitz and is kinda dating him at some point, but theres this whole thing where, since elves live forever, there's a mathcmaking system that tells you if elves aren't related to you, but also trys to make the most genetically powerful elves, and elves who marry other elves outside of their mathes are deemed a "bad match" and face scrutiney for the rest of their lives.
fitz is (or, well, was) a part of a family called the vackers, who were kinda famous in the elf world, and, not gonna spoil, but something happens that ruins their reputation, and fitz doesn't want to be a bad mathc because he's already facing so much scrutiney.
sophie tries to be in the matchmaking system, but since she doesn't know who her parents are, she is deemed unmathcable, and fitz is like, "okay, find out who your biological parents are," witch is already a tough issue for sophie, and then sophie throws everything out of the window, like, she forgets her job, her freinds, is sad, and fitz is still just like, "find your biological parents sophie! come on!"
and sophie does find out who one of her biological parents is, and it's someone she trusts, and she can't tell anyone for reasons that would be SUPER spoilery, but she comes to fitz crying and this amazing human being is like, "well who is it?!" and sophie says she can't tell him, (is still crying by the way) and you wanna know what fitz does?! he BREAKS UP WITH HER!
this jerk seriously just left a girl crying and sobbing because he couldn't deal with a little bit of teasing, I HATE YOU FITZ!!!!! TEAM KEEFEE FOR LIFE!!!!! MY FURY WILL KILL YOU WITH THE ANGER OF A RED HOT FIRE!!! DEATH TO FITZ! DEATH TO THE VACKERS ! DEATH!!TFCGHERFYGVHKDBVGEIYJ
ok uh, sorry I got a little heated there. anyway, uh, keefee for life! :)
Lots of people have mentioned Harry Potter (though I disagree) but no one has mentioned Umbridge. Does anyone like that b***h?
Please don’t kill me, but I love the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, but I absolutely despise Annabeth. I always just found her annoying
ok this has been said,
BUT HARRY POTTER
DUDE Y U GOTTA BE SO ANNOYING
“lemme just bother everybody”
Fitz. We don't need him. He's a brat. Does he actually care about Sophie? Probably less than Keefe, the one who deserves Sophie but won't even fracking take her because "Oh woe is me I'm not good enough for you:
I have two
1: I dislike June Del Toro from The Last Kids on Earth. I personally think she passes the line of funny sassy to snarky. Idk I just don’t like her.
2: Not many people might know this book, I dislike Simon Mawgan from The Wreckers. Sure he tends to be nice but he’s a major glutton, fairly unappreciative, has a major temper, and has a habit of lying. I just… no.
