This first two books were banal and boring, the third one was o.k. Is this worth continue reading? Is Rand still going to be a little bitch about being the Dragon Reborn?

This >>9419668. Also, the third book is the high point of the series, after that it's all worse, with some very low lows.

It gets worse. Anyone will tell you that.

Why did you continue if you didn't like the first book?

It's way too long for no reason. If he really wanted to make huge epic world #365 it should of been segmented into different trilogies with focus on specific characters/factions then a final trilogy bringing it all together.

There's no focus, no clear goal. You should of stopped at the first book if you didn't like it. It's the best one. If you want to be completely put of fantasy forever read the whole thing. That's what I did and now I can't stomach anything in the genre.

Iirc (it's been 8-9 years since I read most of the series) the sixth book is good, but the fourth and fifth are mostly boring. After that things really go downhill and the series becomes completely directionless
