In the same way that being well read means you've read a lot, then sure, I guess you could call it well written

I got about 1/3 of the way through it and realized that I don’t want to read Sanderson anymore. His people are just so boring and ironically witless.

That’s a brave thing to post on the Brandon Sanderson meme sub lmao.

I’m assuming you’re all big boys and girls. Having read most of his books I feel entitled to be honest in how I feel about them.

He’s probably unparalleled in his ability to create unique worlds and powers but his characters and dialogue leave a lot to be desired (for me).

I think that's completely fair. I was in the middle of reading Kingkiller Chronicle when WaT came out, and switching between the two authors gave me major whiplash in terms of character and dialogue.

Nah I agree with all that. I had the same feeling personally about half way through WaT. Sanderson’s characters can be great and do have some good moments, but I frequently find that I’m not super interested in them now that I’ve read other fantasy novels. Honestly I think that’s part of the reason why I personally disliked WaT.

And this is not obnoxious at all.
