Characters are tools used by an author to elicit an emotional response, while telling a story. If these villains are ones you dislike, even hate, then they're doing their job.

You want interesting villains, or ones that aren't chaotic stupid: Bors, Wave, Ran, Kurome; and yes, to an extent, Esdeath.

Bors was sympathetic, and a likeable character, but still clearly a villain. Ran is very much the same and has a very well played backstory. Kurome's plot line is obviously heading somewhere big, as is Waves. And as for Esdeath, she's the most interesting one of the bunch (in my opinion), because of the two very conflicting sides to her personality, and how it's going to play out.

As for Wild Hunt, is it really alright to judge them as characters when they were only introduced 6 chapters ago? As far as I'm concerned the remaining members have so much potential in terms of back story, especially the alchemist girl and Syura. Champ was also a well played character. Don't get me wrong, I don't think I've hated a character this much ever; but for that I applaud the author for making me hate something that much.

Also, in terms of interesting villains make for interesting conflict, take a look at the psycho justice chick. In my opinion, she was one of the most basic, black and white characters I've ever seen; yet her conflict with the main heroes was really interesting. I was excited to see where it was going, not because I found her character interesting, but because the way the main characters felt towards her was so natural and THAT is what was interesting.
