@Kekkaishi one thing that I encourage you to do is to put a little more effort into understanding why something is appealing to you and why it isn't, instead of just calling it generic and boring, because calling something generic/boring means literally nothing, it say's nothing about neither the story, the author or you.
If you liked The Flesh Cartel, the reason sure isn't because it was writen by women, how exactly does it compare to other stories that you didn't quite enjoy? Is it more slow-paced, more subjective from an emotional standpoint, perhaps the characters are more flawed and relatable? Or the opposite of all that perhaps?
If you're looking for something specific and it's not there, instead on focusing on what you're reading you'll simply try to predict where it'll go, and having it go where you're thinking only makes it more frustrating.
