Does anyone else find the novigrad section tedious and boring? New player here so no spoilers please

I was absolutely loving the game, doing alot of side content and even question marks, then i got to novigrad, slogged through until the menge quest and i just got too tired of the game for some reason, especially the novigrad parts. I haven't played it in months and am struggling to motivate myself to go back to it.

Does this happen for anyone else?

Does the game pick up again?

Thanks
