^ Yes and no, I guess. The aspect of him being kept alive because of whatever value he represents to certain groups makes it less egregious, but there are enough times he should just be dead and survived on sheer luck or whim that it's still annoying. Like the ghoul restaurant, his initial encounter with Aogiri, etc.

Not to mention that the manga goes to great lengths to turn apparent schizophrenia, suicidal depression and post-traumatic stress into a superpower for him.
