Books with good plots but bad writing

It’s ‘The cruel prince’ for me , it gets better after a while but the beginning was something I had to get used to a little. It was also my first romantasy so maybe I’m judging to hars. Loved the second and third book by the way xx
Caravel It had such a fun plot but the writing made it so damn boring
Currently struggling with First Bright Thing, which was recommended because I loved Night Circus. Struggling with the over exaggerated writing style and constant barrage of metaphors. It's tiring to read and I constantly feel like I'm looking words up in the dictionary
One Dark Window. The writing for the most part is great but I couldn't stand the poems or the nightmare's dialogue. It didn't vibe with the rest of it. I am going to give it another try later this year but it was so cringe the first time, which I hate because the story is intriguing.

See You Soon and I Promise YouThe story is so so good in my opinion, but unfortunately overall the writing isn't that great which is such a bummer!
The Love Between Lines and Walls basically this is my first book and i want to hear your honest opinion 🥹
Powerless , I think it had the potential but the writing was like of a 11 yr old
Shadow and Bone, had potential, but I the plot was so boring
Zodiac Academy and I still love it with all my heart ❤️
Below Zero by Ali Hazelwood. I hate all her books but one or two are alright.
Honestly Fourth Wing. I loved it but the writing was pretty cringe 😭
shatter me, the confidence of wildflowers
The selection. It could have been so good if it wasn't written like an 11 year old girl's diary.
"The Silent Patient" by Alex MichaelidesThis thriller has an incredibly gripping plot with plenty of twists and turns, but some readers find the writing to be a bit flat and formulaic. Still, it’s a page-turner!
Masks of Under, I don’t know what third person their writing in lol
the inheritance games. it had sooo much potential😭

Hiii I'd like to make the case that Crave is a worthwhile read, as long as you're looking for a YA fantasy rec (PG-13 romance). I read the books in 2021, and I had a blast. (: Once you get past the first half of the 1st book, the story becomes very action-packed and exciting! If you can see yourself in Grace (the fem main character) or can just find amusement in the cliches, you can get totally immersed in this fantasy world! The 2nd and 3rd books are my fav, they wrecked havoc on my teenage heart 💓

Powerless, I DNF'ed it. One of the main reasons being the writing.I also have to agree with @SObooks, I thought the same about the Caraval series, also one of the things that put me off continuing the series, I've read 2/4 books, working on the 3rd.
I don’t know if you guys have seen the movie but My Fault: London just came out and the plot is AMAZING! But I do not recommend the book at all. It’s very cringy
Fourth Wing. Tried way too hard to be cool 💀
