Just started the first book, and seems kinda shit. Or maybe is just the grimdark setting?

Is it worth continuing or is it just over hyped?

Edit: I decided against my better judgement to finish the book, it indeed was shit.

R.F. Kuang has great ideas for books, but the execution is just never there in the final product. The Poppy War was a rare DNF for me.
