Does intermezzo get any better?

I’m going to preface this by saying, I understand taste is subjective and therefore I don’t mean to offend anyone who admires this book. I just want to ask if it’s worth it to put in the time into this book (for me).

I’m around 120 pages into intermezzo (4 chapters) and I just can’t stand it so far. It feels like I’m reading smut. The book in general is just a drag and both Peter and Ivan are so obnoxious. They literally feel like how a man would write sexual interactions between a man and a woman. I’m very close to dnf-ing it so I wanted to ask should I keep going or does it kind of remain the same?
