I don't mean stuff that was obviously bad on sight (to you) and so you didn't bother with, or even necessarily content you just checked out of before the first episode was done. But a series that you ultimately felt wasted your time and abandoned due to its total lack of quality.

Scorching hot take: I thought the first book was a terrible fanfic of the fellowship of the ring and was embarrassingly bad.

Then some friends told me that was the BEST book in the series until Sanderson took over 😬

Yeah. I think I read WoT too late. It is the template of modern YA literature and since I had read and seen other YA products, WoT was lost on me. I did do three of the books and all three were so repetitive.

Nobody ever told you the first book was the best. Literally nobody says that.

The friend who introduced me to the series does!
