It's hard to invest in her character when she doesn't seem to have any redeeming qualities. It seems like the decisions she makes are always what she wants without any disregard to others (despite the show making it seem like it's for her people). The end of this episode proves that.
In season 6 episode Raven tells her off very accurately ("...The only difference between you and her is Octavia doesn't pretend to feel bad about it.") and it felt very satisfying. That moment was set up beautifully for Clarke to feel remorse and apologize in some way. Now it's season 7 and I'm still waiting for her to apologize to Raven, lol. All of season 6 most of the characters hated Clarke, but we never got any moment of resolve. Other character's did with other characters, but none with Clarke which is very frustrating.
Season 6 gave Octavia the redemption story that Clarke's character desperately needed. Believe me, I wanted to root for Clarke's character, but because the show runner's haven't given me any depth to the decisions that Clarke makes other than she's just selfish makes it hard for her to be likable.
