i mean different people love different things out of their fiction. some people need pretty images, some people need good worldbuilding, some people need compelling stories, some people need clever wordplay (go read P G Wodehouse i don't care that it's 100 years old he's the best), some people need I'm going to stop making a list now but you get the idea. The fact that it didn't grab you is not a flaw in the art itself, nor in you, it just means it didn't grab you.
If you want, come back to it in five, ten years and try again. Maybe not twenty chapters try again, maybe five. That's a deep dive and some serious dedication for something that didn't grab you, so bravo. Sometimes we need new experiences to appreciate art better. I have a few favorite novels i read every few years and appreciate new and different things out of. Sometimes the same things differently.
