Man, I don't recall having this much dislike for her during my reads.
1. Don’t like her as a “person” if that makes sense. But I also just don’t like the way Sanderson writes her.
2. Number one was compounded in Oathbringer with all her interactions with Chad Adolin. Reading them together is torture. The forced, 0-60 romance was torture. Adolin is brick wall boring. Shallan is teen romcom annoying without the ultimate charm. And she was kind of a count to Kaladin. The phony love triangle thing didn’t help matters.
3. Split personality is an interesting wrinkle at the start but can quickly grow tiresome. It’s much better in a visual medium like film. In text, I just can’t take it for very long.

I think with Shallan it's taken way too long to flesh out her character over the 3 books plus her early dealings with Kaladin didn't go over too well with me. If she had reached this point in early book 3 I think people wouldn't hate her as much. I don't hate her as much as most people but she is very low on characters I like.
I wasn't sure about the Venli pov but so far I'm enjoying them, she's unique from the other characters so that might be why.
edited to add I might stop where I am and read Dawnshard. I know it's not needed but I'm intrigued.
