After listening to The Webcomic Relief myself I agree with you. The main weakness of Las Lindas is the Designated Hero known as Mora. If she weren't so terrible a person I feel the rest of the cast wouldn't have turned out as badly as they did in order to accommodate her Protagonist-Centered Morality .
As an upside, I found a new youtube personality to listen too.
Yeah, and given how she's pretty in God-Mode Sue territory now...that pretty much killed all chances of me giving a crap about the comic.
As for Riiser, yeah. His nine-part review of this thing was a crowning moment of awesome in my books.
I still maintain that people seriously overexaggerate Mora's flaws (and don't get me wrong, she does have flaws even after her development), but you make some good points, actually. Still don't think the comic's bad, though.
I would have read the comic more had they really improved on the writing and whatnot. But alas...
I know my words likely won't dissuade a lot of people, but if you read the comic anyway (and enjoy it), I'm not stopping you. Then again, at least you're reasonable about your liking of it. (unlike the more overzealous defenders of this comic.)

Alright, since I watched Riiser's in-depth nine-part review on this webcomic, I'll pretty much cut right to the chase. I'm not swayed by the fanservice in the comic, by the way, and that's not even my biggest problem with the comic.
My biggest problem with this webcomic (besides Miles) is Mora Linda herself. She committed quite a long list of wrongful deeds throughout the whole series so far, and yet you can count the times she gets called out for it with one hand. And now that she's on her way to being a God-Mode Sue (and I doubt she's gotten much better, if at all), I can say that the "Turning Up Millhouse, karma be buggered" comment in the YMMV section is pretty much spot-on. The authors saying that no lasting harm would come to Mora? Not. Helping.
The rest of the characters? As of late, I'm not really sure if they've developed in any way, but I'm in no mood to slog through the whole comic just to find any. If the writing did improve at any point after that review, or before then, I only have four words: Too little, too late.
I say skip this webcomic. Trust me, you're not really missing much.
