If you didn't enjoy this strawman, you just didn't consume enough of them.
Luckily, there's plenty more on thebad.website.

this is what it feels like for me interacting with naruto fans
Also, One Piece fans. As much as I love one piece, it's not for everyone. Idk why that's so hard to grasp for some of the fans. They just say it gets better. People might not like it for various reasons, From poor animation (In the beginning) to bad pacing. Also, the lengthy fights and the artstyle could be a turnoff.
I like to say, if you don't like the East Blue Saga, its probably not for you, but you kind of need to power through some of the earlier arcs as the author establishes the world and tone. If you don't like it because Syrup Village is kind of a mess, you could easily miss out on a great series.
If somebody tells me I need to power through several bad arcs to get to the good stuff, I kinda just immediately lose interest.
Its not like they're terrible and you need to power through, the early chapters go through arcs pretty quickly, and other than syrup village I don't think any are really bad, just not quite the peak that justifies reading 1000+ chapters, but if you don't think by the end of the first 50 or so chapters there's anything to offer, and aren't loving it by 100 then its probably not for you.
Like Baratie has some pretty epic battles, really great character moments in orange town, and Arlong Park is when it really hits its stride.
