Oh, yeah, of course, no, let's bring the main characters in here too.
Eren Jaeger: I WANT TO KILL TITANS.
Mikasa Ackerman: I WANT TO PROTECT EREN.
Armin Arlert: I'M A BITCH WHO WANTS TO BECOME MANLY.
Now for the side characters and antagonists:
Annie Leonhardt: I WANT TO SURVIVE.
Sasha Brown: I LIKE FOOD.
Reiner Braun: I'M A TEAM LEADER BUT I CAN'T COPE WITH IT.
Connie Springer: I'M YOUR STEREOTYPICAL RETARD WHO GETS HEATED ABOUT EVERYTHING.
Krista Lenz: I'M EYE-CANDY.
Ymir: I'M A LESBIAN.
Erwin Smith: I COMMAND THINGS.
Levi: I'M REALLY GOOD AT KILLING TITANS.
Titans: WE'RE TITANS.
Everyone else: WE'RE PLEBS.
Yeah, they're all so
unique and
interesting.

At least KlK is forward about it's villains, not just "We don't have a reason for killing humans, but that's okay because we're
mysterious."
It's just an excuse to drag out the series into inconclusive bullshit.

I'm sorry what? Please give me an example of AoT's excellent suspense.

KlK actually has a plot, there are actually reasons things happen. There is literally next to no plot in AoT other than Titans killing humans and humans killing titans.

Yeah, sorry, but the manga is at least two seasons ahead of the anime and still nobody knows why the fuck
anything is happening. The moment they get the chance to actually explain some background against the story, NOPE CAN'T HAVE THAT, GOTTA KEEP MILKING THE FRANCHISE.
It's just a cash cow, it's going to be milked until it's drier than my dead grandmothers tits.
