Character
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
A Likely Story is very nearly An Entirely Unlikeable Story, but it manages, through skillful writing and sheer force of will, to squeak by as a fascinating study of unlikeable characters instead. YMMV — they are very privileged and very unlikeable.
