I never really considered Jeff to be scary and I don't think too many other people did. I think it's much more the character of Jeff instead of the story he's in that got so many fans. An overpowered Gary Stu with no personality lets the reader easily self-insert into the story and pretend it's happening to them instead of Jeff. It's basically any thirteen-year-old's revenge fantasy brought to life.
