Personally I found the first book of the Stormlight Archives to be fairly good so long as the focus was on Kaladin. Everyone loves a good underdog story and the whole concept of running bridges across dozens of chasms was pretty inventive, but the second book started to lose me as the focus shifted off palpable suffering and triumph to anime powers, and the third book even more so, and when the plot stopped being interesting to me, Branderson's dull prose really started to grate on me. Not sure I'll bother reading the fourth when it comes out.

You seem to put a lot of stock into other people's opinions and approval, yet only want to write things you like. It's quite presumptuous to only write what you want and expect other people to enjoy it as much as you do. Either stop caring about their opinions and write what you want, or bite the bullet and realize how ridiculous it is to expect people to lap at your feet without ever throwing them a bone. It's like the introverted kid who complains about having no friends, yet never goes out of his way to make any and expects them to force themselves into his life.
