I read the first two volumes and Eva was so terribly written (and there were no other major female characters) that I completely quit. I don't hate her, I dislike the writing. It was really surprising to see this secret and now I'm thinking about trying again. Where do the other female characters come in/Eva gets less of a caricature?

Nina Liebert's the major female character in Monster. I believe she actually shows up in the second volume (all volumes are IIRC and I haven't reread it in a while, so grain of salt) - she's Anna Liebert, the twin sister Johann is trying to contact - but she's not really a major character yet there, she's more of a witness that Tenma is trying to find and protect. She shows up again in the 4th volume, I think, and takes on a much more active role, and keeps showing up recurrently in different arcs from there. Eva's redemption starts to come in around volume 15, I believe, and continues from there to the end of the series.

Tenma's always the main character, but it does get better in that regard, especially with Nina. There's other secondary characters as well that OP is referring to. I'd say it's worth pushing on just a bit, but then again I also completely love Monster so I'm hardly an unbiased source.
