Stories however can be liked for all sorts of reasons and to varying degrees. So I often keep reading, even though a story is not 100% great, just so long as there is enough redeeming factors.

I agree but unfortunately for me what makes a book enjoyable has become very narrow; the author has to care about the main character and make me care about them. Or make them interesting and have humor. I'd say that at most about 10% of the books I get from the library fit this criteria; looking at how many stars it has on Amazon or Goodreads hasn't helped or only helps minimally.
