Look, don't get me wrong, I like Akari myself as well, but just like StrawAikatsu13 said, once she became a Mary Sue during the Dark Ages (aka the second half of S3 and most of S4), Akari's character development stagnated to the point where it quickly became unbearable, in contrast to Ichigo's smooth and natural progression. The fact that she beat Sumire twice by using plot armor didn't help her out that much either.
