YMMV / Five Nights At Freddy's: Lost Souls

• Rooting for the Empire: Even after Golden Freddy snaps and grows violent toward the humans, specifically Kelly, readers still found themselves sympathizing with him more than the aforementioned Kelly. In fact, many a comment cheered for Golden Freddy when he implied he would break Kelly's arm, mostly due to Kelly being The Scrappy and Unintentionally Unsympathetic, while he himself had shown understandable reasons for detesting her so much.
• The Scrappy: Kelly, see Unintentionally Unsympathetic below. Readers weren't too sweet on her to begin with, as her first appearance had her acting bossy and rude toward Freddy, Bonnie, Foxy and Chica and forbidding Cody and Bridget from seeing them again. Then she really dropped the ball by continually invoking "It" Is Dehumanizing when talking about the Fazbears and then deliberately traumatizing Bridget, a small child, to ruin her friendships with the animatronics once and for all.
• Unintentionally Sympathetic: Golden Freddy has started to evoke that reaction in readers from Night 5 onward. He's meant to be an antagonist, but many readers found themselves sympathizing with him more and more, especially when he started to be contrasted against the far less fleshed out Kelly. His dislike for teenagers and adult humans is given a very good reason in his own side story Crybaby, his love for the Fazbears and desire to protect them is revealed as genuine, if misguided and possessive, and while he does do some reprehensible things, like telling Cody he'll hurt Bridget, he ultimately doesn't truly want to hurt anybody (until Night 6, anyway).
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. From the start the comic makes it clear that she's deeply distrustful of the Fazbears and that she carries some sort of grudge against them. This is implied to be the result of past trauma, most likely to do with the Fazbear murders or a springlock incident, making her pretty much a Hero Antagonist. However, this Freudian Excuse did nothing do endear her to readers, who primarily saw a massive Jerkass isolating and ruining the Fazbears' friendships with Cody and Bridget out of pettiness. This wasn't helped by her continued sour and cold behavior toward Bridget, down to deliberately traumatizing her by telling her the animatronics' Dark and Troubled Past, in order to scare her away form them.
• The Woobie:
  • Cody and Bridget both. They lost their mother years ago and their father is out of town more often not, leaving Cody to raise Bridget all by himself. Cody is having trouble at school after having been booted from a more esteemed private school and it's implied that Bridget has no friends at hers and is terribly lonely. They finally find some respite in the Fazbears and the amusement park, but circumstances out of their control seem to actively conspire to destroy the new friendship.
  • The animatronics. They were made to be the ideal child entertainers, but were seemingly chucked out like trash after the Fazbear murders, dismantled and left to rot when the Frights-building burned down. In the present they have to actively isolate themselves because their home is haunted by a malicious entity that kills everyone who stays in the theme park after midnight.
