Love triangles are everywhere. Every single shojo manga ever written has a love triangle. I can think of dozens of other books that have love triangles and I wouldn't compare them to each other just because of that. It's a weak comparison.

Lacking personality is your own opinion. I thought Katniss had plenty of personality: intense loyalty to protect those she loves, a killer survival instinct that helped her to last through the Games and the war, trust issues, and more. But that's your opinion.

Dying FOR someone is a lot different than dying WITHOUT someone. Katniss felt she owed Peeta a debt after everything he had done for her. It had nothing to do it with love, just Katniss deciding that Peeta was the one who needed her protection during the second Games, after everything he did for her in the first.

Yeah, everyone does fall in love with Katniss, I can't deny that. But my argument here is that she doesn't want it. She would rather not be the center of attention. She would rather just carry on with her quite life in District 12, trying to keep her family alive. But everyone around her forces her to be the Mockingjay, to be the center of attention. And after everything is over, she keeps trying to fade back into obscurity.

I still say that everything you mentioned is a stretch for people to compare the two series to each other.
