I mean, the early part of POD was pretty good, the card game and his relationship with the bartender, the part where the realization that he killed his father sends him into a depression and his strength in the Force crumbles, leaving him in a difficult position in the academy.
I liked that even the grandfather of the Sith himself was not a born psychopath.
After that he turned into the generic "might is right" villain.

Yeah -- in PoD and DoE anyways. Also, he was pretty decent in Jedi vs. Sith, tbh.
His legacy is also, of course, one of the most important in the Star Wars mythos, it's just it wasn't the proper writer to execute said legacy in novel form.
It's a shame because before the BT came out, he was this legendary character with nigh unlimited potential ( from a storytelling point of view ).
Then he was turned into "Bane goes to sith academy, Bane fights, Bane goes to try to find artifacts, Bane fights, Bane goes to try to find artifacts, Bane fights, Bane goes to try to find artifacts, Bane fights."
No, he isn't. Anyone who thinks so is a deluded thirteen year old fan that thinks Michael Bay's Transformers and Power Rangers are the best things evar1
Simply looking at the hype lore gave us. "The great creator of Rule of Two" "He who rebelled against his masters" "The wise dark lord"
I expect to see a man of intellect, of deception, politics. A manipulator to rival Sheev and Plagueis. I expected to see a character that didn't need to use his sabers to get things done.
I got shit tbh. Drew gave tiny little scraps but then realized that book needed a testosterone injection and went another direction.
Everyones right, PoD was intriguing(by SW standards) up until Korriban where everything turned into a bad Shounen Action Anime
