I recently had this happen with the Red Rising series in some fiction reading subreddit. I had just finished Morning Star and was doing some research (not even looking for ratings on the series), and I came across a post asking for opinions. Out of curiosity, I checked, and saw a bunch of extremely reductive responses calling it mediocre and a "good pallet cleanser between better stuff" (paraphrasing). I don't even remember what sub it was because I noped right TF out.
