I don't like every (female) character ever either, but...yeah, I often don't quite understand why people will be so eager to praise certain aspects of a fiction (i.e. whatever character they most identify with/crush on) and so thoroughly bash others. They were written by the same person, most of the time. Some might be more inspired or better-constructed than others, sure, but in the end, if a character is badly written enough to make me dislike him or her as a character, there are probably going to be other problems with the work as a whole.
But I've long since recognized that most people don't think of characters the way I do.
