I'd say a great majority of the people she attacked were deserving of it, and I don't really think you can count anyone who died as a part of the army because a) they signed up for the army in a world that is constantly at war and b) she gave them a chance to join her.
And sure, a lot of her support came from the fact she has dragons AND IS LITERALLY COATED IN MAGIC, but even the fact that the dragons liked her meant a lot, they were quick to judge the character of people and were thought to be smarter than humans.
But she also had support from people like Tyrion, who sure he was intimidated by the dragons but that's not what won his support.
She was open to criticism and a very good strategist and that was clear from the start when she overcame being sold to Khal Drogo and went from being his pet to his "right hand man"
And I really don't think you can criticize people who hate stannis since you admitted he was purposefully poorly written, I'd assume more people have seen the show than read the books and I never minded him as a character until he sacrificed his daughter. He was a bit stupid but I don't think I had actual hatred towards him until the leading up to that moment.
She went from being a sheltered sx slave to winning the hearts of people who never accept outsiders,
to fooling slave traders into thinking she was ignorant so she could free their slaves,
to accumulating a massive armada to sail her new followers across the sea to take back a castle that was stolen from her family...
After her husband died, she had a tiny tribe of people following her and turned it into a multinational army...
she attacked slave traders and people who were defending someone sitting on the throne and using their power to kill off countless people.
