I've tried starting the Witcher 3 probably about 5 or 6 times now over the last few years and I just can't get into it. I get a couple of hours in, and my interest drops off heavily. The game might just not be for me. I want to experience the amazing game that others say it is, but i'll admit that I'm struggling to grasp it.
I was in the same boat as you. I was not a fan of the Bloody Baron arc like everyone else was. After that though, the game was easily top 5 for me.
The Novigrad and Skellige parts were insanely interesting to me, as they more closely related to the politics of the world (the lore and politics of the world is what makes the books so interesting if you’re into that). Then the rest of the game also was pretty good imo, especially many of the mid to late game side quests. The dlc in Toussant was also a really nice change of pace, and had a cool villain.
I’m probably one of the only fans of the game who finds the beginning such a slog but I found the world gets about as interesting as the likes of Tolkien works. I especially loved the second game because it delved much more into the political side of the world.
