This is probably closer to a 2.5 but I'm feeling generous.

This also got better once I switched from reading this to the audiobook version. But, the narrator sounds like the undead himself, so I had to speed this up to 1.5x to make it listenable.

I understand why people gave this low stars. The protag was unfocused - so much so that one of the characters even points out at the end that sometimes he acts like the hero and sometimes he acts like the victim. The plotline about the vampire hunter tv show was unnecessary. And it seemed like the author didn't know how to end this, and just gave us a myriad of "alternate" endings in the hopes that one of them would satisfy readers. I'm glad to have finally gotten this off of my TBR, but it wasn't worth the wait.
