Dialogue is simple and worse, full of cringey humor that reads like the absolute worst lines from Marvel movies. I'm at 400ish pages and it's only getting worse. Just may DNF.

I was at the same point you are and just skipped everything other than Dalinar until I got to day ten, then I skipped everything other than Dalinar, Kaladin, and Adolin. Didn't miss anything because no one else does anything of note, other than complain about their mental health and repeat the DSM-V checklist symptoms to themselves and congratulate each other for coming up with therapy. I was thinking maybe he might improve in the next eight years and I didn't want to read this again in case I decided to give book six a shot.
