I respect and acknowledge your view.
I like Stormlight Archive for all the things you mentioned. But for me, the grand scale makes it less strong. For example, I sometimes find it difficult to really care about some of the character viewpoints when reading Stormlight for the first time (specifically Shallan at first, because Kaladin had peak chapters and Dalinar/Adolin both had interesting chapters too). This is especially the case with some of the interlude characters (minus venli, who doesn't love Venli), as I just don't see why they're important (then again, some interludes, like Lift's one in OB? WoR? Are amazing).
But that's just an overarching flaw with the format of lots of characters as a whole, and detracts from the experience.
