I don't like Nero because I don't like people who twists others words around and make them sound illogical. I hate that.
It's too similar to bullying.
Well, Nero's mind isn't entirely in the right place. I do think, however, that it's entirely possible to like a character even if they do cruddy things, as long as it's done well.
Often times, unless the heroes of a particular story are made especially cool or sympathetic, or the villain played just abysmally, I will side with villainous characters because they can seem at times more realistic. In real life, most people are concerned with themselves, not to an obsessive or egomaniacal degree but still. In commercial fiction, heroes cannot have glaring personality flaws, or they're not heroes any more. Villains are allowed to embrace the flawed side of humanity, a side in some ways closer to us, and aren't stuffed full of unrealistic, crazy ideals like many heroic characters. For instance, I found myself rooting for Rogue and Sting during the Grand Magic Games Arc, rather than Natsu. And yeah, they became friends later, but at the time they were enemies. I did not side with Grimoire Heart's Master Hade's, however, because he was not understandably flawed--just plain old evil. Someone who blasts puppies is different from someone who doesn't know any better than to grant bad wishes.
