I think you are confusing writing and drawing here. Being able to "draw" interesting characters doesn't matter squat if you can't write them well. Conversely, being able to write interesting characters doesn't mean you can draw.

If an author of a LN hires an artist to draw for his novel, the artist will have zero, I repeat, zero, influence on why the story is bad. I have no idea how you came to the conclusion that drawings are the deciding factor in how a story is written.
