Fables by Aeson are better translated typically - sentences flow better. They also don't pretend to create deep puzzle about humanity while being shallow. They are what they are, simple stories.
That being said, I did not particularly enjoyed them. But again, they come across as more honest.

No it is not. Really really it is not if the puzzle is supposed to tell something about you or humans. It could have been interesting if she had actual complex personality and actual relationships. But she does not.
Well beyond "what if you are raised by abusive psychopathic dad and then someone looking down on you all writes story about it".
This is the only information you really need.

Do you similarly judge a fable by Aesop? Or poetry about human emotions? Have you read Saki's masterful short story, "Sredni Vashtar", and do you similarly dislike it because its characters are not full-fledged?
Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. What information would you need to decide?
