That's not what high literature is. That's like looking at some clever linux kernel code and dismissing it in favor of a small nodejs backend.
Good literature is difficult (not always, of course). Just like you can't go from a couch potato to running a marathon in one day, you can't jump from Brandon Sanderson to enjoying Gormenghast (or something like the The Worm Ouroboros). It's impossible. It takes effort, it takes time and it takes a lot of reading to appreciate what the real masters can do with mere words.
If something requires effort to value it, is the value in the thing itself? Or is the thing garbage and all the value is in your effort?
