Essentially it's down to people having different tastes and standards regarding what they read. I adore world building so I gravitate to fantasy and scifi but I really don't care that much about characterisation. A story with a dull self insert character is genuinely fine for me so long as the world building is interesting. That is ultimately why I didn't care about Murderbot much, the world building is pretty standard and the character that fans of the story relate to is pretty much lost on me. You have to figure out the specifics of what you enjoy from a book and then look for people with similar tastes in order to find recommendations.
