Thank you, Claudia!

While many people claim that the fandom hates Fitz, he kinda did that to himself.

Yes, he's trying. But he can't break the cycle--or, more likely, isn't willing. He has literally every aspect of his life perfect, so why take the tiny things out on everyone else?

I agree with you with all of your points, and I'd like to say that I've found the same thing with KOTLC--the books have organized themselves into three trilogies.

Fitz's relationship with Sophie is unhealthy. After they broke up, Sophie promised herself she wouldn't look back. It's no mystery why--although they had some cute scenes together, Fitz also did many things that definitely weren't ok.

On the other end of the spectrum, look at Keefe. Almost nothing has gone right in his life, and he still manages to have a better attitude than FItz. Whereas Sophie has to keep Fitz from being upset when she's having a hard time, Keefe is able to keep Sophie from being upset when he's the one having a hard time. There is literally no happy ending for Keefe besides finally having a normal life with Sophie, and out of everyone in that world, I can't think of anyone else who deserves that more.
