As a few others have mentioned, reading books you end up not liking is the best (maybe only?) way of figuring out what you actually don't like reading. You can then avoid it again in the future. And who knows, maybe you'll find character archetypes, plot points, and locations, you like in a book you otherwise end up not liking; also very helpful.
