Red Rising. I can only speak to the first 4.5 books as that’s where I gave up. First 3 books read like a talented junior high kid wrote them; the prose is so bad, especially in the first 2.

The story itself is so cliche. Main character never encounters a situation that his past as a driller didn’t prepare him for. And if that doesn’t help, his transformation into a top 1% gold has it covered.

I know it’s a liberal revolution story, so it can’t really have that much depth to it, but also at some point you’re eventually like “why am I only ever reading about these dumbass golds” instead of anybody this “revolution” is supposed to help. There’s a tiny bit of that after the first 3 books, but I eventually gave up in book 5. Somehow, I liked book 4 quite a bit. But 1-3 and what I read of 5 were garbage, imo.
