For me it's Metro 2033 by Dmitriy Glukhovskiy, which is 500 pages long

I am willing to give him another go. Maybe my issue comes from two places:

I took a break from WoT (can't blame him for dying, I suppose) and picked up the first Sanderson book a few years later. Maybe it was Jordan's writing that I disliked as I had matured. I was also pissed off that I would have to wade through two more books of this shit. I don't think I finished even the first finale book.
Curious as to whether the problem was Jordan leaving a mess of notes or whether the problem was Sanderson, I picked up Mistborn. I gave it a good go. I have a rule not to dismiss books before 50 pages (sometimes I forget them after fewer, but that's because I get busy and intend to go back later), but for this one I gave it a hundred pages or so.

Thanks for the recommendation. Tbh, I hear such good things about him that I have wondered what I was missing. So I'll give a few of his other series/novels a go.

Go for Elantris first. It's his novel debut and it's really most in character. Still my favourite book of his.

Also adding to previous post he did wrote pretty decent young adult postapocalyptic superhero trilogy Calamity-Firefight-Steelheart.
