Should I continue with Alan Wake 2 if I'm not that into it so far?

Disclamer: this post isn't meant to attack the game or the fans of the game. I have no malice towards either. I just came for advice.

Hi! I've almost finished the train station level (playing as Alan) and I've got a bit of a conundrum that I'd like some help with. I'm not really enjoying the game for several reasons. I don't hate playing it, but I don't look forward to it either. With so many games in my backlog, I can't justify dedicating more than 20 hours to something I feel ambivalent about.

However, I also like to give games a fair chance, and there have been times when my opinion has changed even though the first impression wasn't great. So, I'd like to hear some opinions on whether I should play more or drop it.

I thought the first Alan Wake game was good, but not great. Honestly, I wouldn't have played the sequel if it wasn't so highly rated. But the way I feel right now is very similar to how I felt when playing the first game - only mildly entertained.

The story hasn't gripped me, and I don't care about any of the characters or the mystery, if you can even call it that. There doesn't seem to be a hook to the story. There isn't anything to look forward to in terms of the plot, such as character development or meaningful interactions between characters. So far the story seems to be just people trying to survive the supernatural darkness trying to kill them and not much else. There are obviously mysterious things going on that I can't explain, but I can't think of any questions I care enough about to keep playing.

I don't really like the writing either, whether it's Alan's or the dialogue. The gameplay is fine and the visuals are great, but it's not enough to make a difference. I mostly care about story anyway. But so far, I've only been bored with it and haven't experienced any other emotions.

Will something change, or is this game just not for me? I don't know if it's relevant, but I also dropped Control a long time ago because I wasn't invested. Maybe I'm not a Remedy person.
