Stories that left you disappointed for a reason

I've seen so much people say good things about a tale of crowns on tumblr, reddit and other if spaces, maybe it's on me and I came with too much expectations? Since the setting, not playing as a white American/European mc for once in royal settings sounded awesome........ But it was such a letdown, it suffers from the same bland mc, no choices, ros who are more into each other than mc in every other twine wip, I think it would have honestly worked better as a visual novel.
I understand the mc being naive, they are a fish out of water, buts it jarring to see this 25 year old acting like a child sometimes, I expected them to slowly get better, but they don't, I went with A because they seem cool, but I'm not a fan of slow burn so I restarted and went after X because I thought at least mc would be getting some(kind of like M from WH) ....but even in their route you don't... I mean X gets some mc just gets nothing (which is fair because they know each other for a week). I then decided to try the magician, but they are pretty boring so I came back to A, but it's been like 10 chapters and mc doesn't seen to mature and everyone dogpiles on them (even me in this comment sorry) you have people doing way worse things in the story, sorry if it's long, should I keep playing, do they(mc) get better? Anyone felt like this while playing?
 
I just wish there was a way for Itchio to remove some of these IF which are dead. I mean it was SCOUT that go me into this. It's been dead for 5 years whats the point.
If anything they should get labeled as abandoned after a length of time of no activity on the developer's part (if it's still listed as in development that is). That way no one is under any assumption that it's still being worked on but also leaves them there for posterity or for fans to revisit every so often.

I doubt it'll get better the ATOC author is one of those authors who doesn't take criticisms well and surrounds herself with yes men.
