I really don't understand how Chloe relates to all of those straight-up villains KokoroAkechi is listing. I mean, Hisoka is a perverted murderer.

Then again, I also don't understand how Chloe isn't likable. Is she abrasive? Sure, she's gone through some shit in her life that she's still working through. That's what makes her a fascinating character imho. Fiction would be boring if everyone needed to be an angel like Kate in order to be likable. For me, these traits would only detract from likability if they have no logical backing or if they're all a character has (A certain character turning into a cartoon villain in Ep5 of LiS was shit, for example, because it was over-the-top and made no sense). Chloe getting angry over Max taking a phone call makes sense because Max ghosting her is still an open wound, so that's fine with me.

There's also a whole lot more to Chloe than those traits. Episode One of LiS is actually a great example of this once she and Max reunite. Surly Chloe is angry Max never contacted her, sad about Rachel, wants to be alone... and then she finds the photo that shows Max saved her life earlier that day. It's like a switch gets thrown, all that other stuff gets thrown to the side, and she's back to being a best friend again. The fun dancing antics gets cut off pretty quick by David, but still! Chloe can be a great friend and she shows that over and over (Ep2 train track convo, Ep3 pool adventure, and so on).

Chloe is also the friend you want with you when shit gets real. Sometimes you want to go out and have a nice cup of tea with a person like Kate. If you suspect your father is cheating on your mother and you want backup, though, that's when you want a Chloe. Ep1 of BtS was so great in how it started the Chloe/Rachel relationship (it characterized Rachel amazingly with her being manipulative towards Chloe to get her support, but we're talking about Chloe here). This era of Chloe should be her at her most angsty with David entering her life and no Max, but Rachel instantly pierces that just by relating to her on her level. Hey Chloe, want to skip school? Fuck yeah Chloe wants to skip school. There was also that great moment in Ep4 of LiS where Nathan catches her and Max snooping around his dorm. This is a guy who killed Chloe a few days ago in an alternate timeline, and she knows it. He's got a gun. She backs away alongside Max for the first few seconds, scared. When Nathan actually starts moving towards Max, though? Oh no you don't, Chloe charges forward and pushes him back until Warren shows up to help.

So, in conclusion, Chloe is the best character ever and super likable.
