It depends so much on the kind of dystopia, I think. I definitely prefer the slightly lighter dystopias personally, and good characters fit a lot more easily into those kinds of settings.

But I also kind of wonder... should those still count as dystopias? Isn't part of the horror and point of a true dystopia how intensely difficult - almost impossible - it would be to remain a good person?

I would argue the first Night Watch/City Guards books in the Discworld series come pretty close to what OP is looking for. There's the dirty city and messed up honourable old Sam Vimes, being a good copper because he can't help it.

Ankh-Morpork is a shitty place to live but it's by no means a dystopia

YOU SHOULD READ NINEFOX GAMBIT IT'S SO GOOD

OP shouldn't tho, everyone is complicit, even the truly kind good people have always been complicit and they have to be a little monstrous and fight so hard to extricate themselves from complicity

it's so good though

YES, so good:)

I hope so since the US is headed in that direction.

There are no heroic characters, especially in this dystopic timeline we're living in.

This Steven Universe fic seems highly relevant: https://archiveofourown.org/works/5951614/chapters/13680055 “Heroic” is a relative term, but there are definitely good people doing what they can in impossible circumstances.

Have you read Day of the Triffids? The film 28 days later was loosely based on it, but the book is much better.
