Maybe had it not been bad fan fiction instead of just, you know, following the author's story, it would have worked out.
The author's story was also pretty terrible. I re-read it again last year, and man does it drag. You could most likely cut it in half and make a better series.
I just finished the series last week after starting it in January 2024. It's a pretty damn good epic. Yes there are slower parts, but on the whole it's very enjoyable and well paced. Not sure what you'd expect from a 14 book series. You're also full of it if you say the 12000 page series is terrible, yet you also reread it last year. That is nonsensical to put that much time and effort into something that's 'pretty terrible'.
I was a big fan as a child, but I haven't re-read them in about 15 years or so, since Sanderson finished it. Whenever that was.
It's not at all well paced. That's some fandom cope if I've ever heard it, good lord.
I can tell you 100% that I don't plan on reading it again. It's not worth it.
