Hey, hey. The tweens are human beings capable of improvement. They don't need to be completely done like say, a book series you don't like and at least would be better served returning their nutrients to the soil than sending them into space.
You need to read Delirium then. At least when I first read Twilight, it was a good guilty pleasure for a juvenile. Delirium is hyped up as an amazing accomplishment of writing. But it's just boring. At least, through all the problems, Twilight was still entertaining.
It's still stupid as hell and sucks, but I can't deny my rabid obsession with it more than... what eight years ago?
It is what it is.
"What characteristic or aspect of this story is so good it overwhelms all of the shoddy plot points, terrible characters, flawed logic, and overall shit?"
Nothing really. The reason why people like it is because Bella is an Escapist Character for many teenage girls. While she is a Mary Sue, Bella provides a vehicle to ride out those girls' fantasies because of that; if you don't have fantasies of men getting grabby over your time and love, then the work sucks. If your fantasies match that, then you will enjoy it. I hope that answers your question.

51st Review of a Series that's been done to death
I hate Twilight. Sorry I need a release on this subject. I absolutely LOATHE the Twilight franchise. It's a bastardization of all viewable media from television to literature to, hell, video games and such. Twilight has some of, no, it has the worst writing I've ever come across in my entire life. Long bounding paragraphs filled to the brim about how some character (usually a vampire of some sort) is like the next Adonis/Aphrodite. We have characters so bland, one dimensional, and petulant, they make Narcissus look like a goddamn saint by comparison (the one of Greek myth, look it up). Bella is NOT plain and ordinary, she's practically everything the Author wished she was. Hell, if I might say so, Twilight is everything that Stephanie Meyer WISHED her life was like. Two hot guys pouring all of the sweaty man ab love into your face? Check. Adoring citizens, damn well near on the verge of throwing you parades because of your "saintliness"? Check. A group of devoted followers who pretty much cater to your every damn whim and desire? Check.
To me Twilight is comparable to Tween Pop stars, it/they suck ass and should all be exiled to space, never to be heard from again.
One last note on this godawful series. Why do people hype this shit up? What characteristic or aspect of this story is so good it overwhelms all of the shoddy plot points, terrible characters, flawed logic, and overall shit? well I'd speculate that it's apparently the two hot guys fawning over a girl and (quite a few I might add) Twi-hards replace Bella with themselves.
Fuck you twilight; the day that Micheal Jackson comes back to life is the day that I'll like Twilight. Good Day and Good Night
