The reason you don't like these characters is because they aren't written well. What they show us about the characters doesn't match what we see. We are lead to believe that Blake always runs away but she stood her ground while arguing with Wiess, fighting Roman (twice), and fought Adam up until she was literally stabbed in the stomach.

Wiess is totally unlikeable in volume 1 and 2 because she is a whinny bitch. She acts like a child and therefore it is hard to relate to. She threw a tantrum went she didn't get team leader and was part of the whole Juane-Wiess-Neptune love triangle arc which was horribly excecuted. It also seems they just rewrite this character every volume.

Yang is pretty cringy. They make her character so over the top that it is hard to take her seriously. Also, o nly a literal slut would act the way she does. They say she is a thrillseeker but we never see her do anything thrill seeking. We never see the writers push her character beyond being happy at killing Grimm. One of the writers probably suggested giving her a mother quest but he was kicked out for suggesting the characters do anything other than swing weapons, look nice, and give exposition.

Ruby is fine and I don't see any glaring faults in her character.

Jaune has been a punchline since day 1 so the fact that they are trying to develop him makes us wonder if they are just setting up for another joke.

Pyrrha got basically no screentime compared to the other characters and everything we know about her had to be told to us. star student blah blah blah. It is much easier to connect to a character that we see rather than one we just hear of.
