Masochism found in QC
La:
I think I understand what you mean. I don't hate QC by any stretch of the imagination, but I can be very frustrated at it, like I used to get at soaps when I watched them, and I do find myself hating the main characters more often than not. Like, I pretty much want to slap the stupid out of Dora 99% of the time, and I went for the LONGEST disliking both Raven and Hannelore (now I'm at the point where I am resigned to them, and they have their good moments sometimes). Marten is fine, too plain for me to get riled up about one way or the other, and though I love both Faye and Sven they both irk me quite frequently too.
With me, the individual strips/punchlines can be hit or miss, but I stick around for the fun and always-improving art, the overall story, the occasional "lol" strip, and seeing wtf happens to these stupid people that I've become interested in. :P
(woah, so totally did not mean to write a novel titled "O HAI, HERE'S WHAT I THINK TL;DR")

That actually summed up my thoughts in a much better way than I did.
Thorbard:
I understand where you're coming from sort of.
I used to read Tales of MU regularly. Sometimes I'd go back several times a day to check if there was a new chapter up. It was good at first, which got me hooked, but as it went on I realised I hated the characters. Well, not exactly the characters, the way they were written. Took me alot of effort, even when I wasn't enjoying it at all, to stop reading.
QC though... no, don't really feel that way about it.
masquerade:
This is how I feel about Stephanie Meyers' Twilight series. I read all of them but the last one (because a bastard on a forum site ruined it for me ::shakes fist::), but as time went on, I loathed the "heroine" more and more. She's weak, whiny, annoying, immature, ungrateful, and stupid. Also, I hate Twilight fans with a burning intensity. Fucking bandwagon harpies.
Anyway, the only thing that REALLY irks me about QC is the slow pace. It takes forever for a story arc to come full circle. I like how the characters have developed, though, and I love clicking the "First" link and being shocked every now and then at how much Jeph's art has improved.

Nobody actually does this. Some people say they do things like that, but only because they don't want to admit they like watching crappy reality shows. Same thing with watching the Superbowl "for the commercials" - nobody does that, either.
Anyway, I enjoy QC in a fairly straightforward manner, so I guess I can't shed any light on your situation.
