In my experience 1/3rd of StB is the 3rd common point of burnout, because relatively nothing happens, Lyse is unbearable and the whole thing is like an exposition without substance (villians do not make sense since the player have already interacted with Ascians, which are obviously the real villians in every circumstance).

Well, StB itself is really just an exposition for wider world, as ARR was for Eorzea. Ascians plotline is obviously the main one and is the centerpiece of ShB and is basically resolved in EW. The exposition is long because the story itself is enourmous.
