I love Hyouka; but at the same time I find it boring.

The title says it all.
I love this anime since my middle school years, when I really started it (and rn I'm rewatching it, because I don't remember a lot and back then I understood, like, 10% of the dialogues).
As I remembered, I love the animation, the colours, and the simple kind of reality this anime express. It is nice to see something so calm after all the dynamic shows I always watch.
Oreki is just a normal bored teen, Satoshi the upbeat friend who is actually as smart as him, and the two girls are really anime but also enjoyable as much as the boys.
So yeah, it is nothing out of the ordinary, obviously there's a little exaggeration on the importance of those misteries, but that's mainly because:
● It's an anime, without a little drama it would be boring af
● The characters are 15-16 years old, so obviously a little mistery is, for them, the biggest drama they could ever find in their life

But after watching around 15 episodes, I noticed that the anime was becoming kinda boring.
Not because it wasn't interesting or good anymore: I think that the more you go on, the more this anime adds drama and become good (if I remember correctly, back in the days I loved the winter arc), but at the same time, it starts to become less interesting.
Maybe it's the extreme sense of peace and tranquility it has, maybe it's Oreki (who, to be completely honest, is kinda boring himself, even if he is a great protagonist), I can't really tell. But it really happened to me to fall asleep while watching an episode, and that's something that never happened to me with an anime.

I can't say I dislike Hyouka, because I love it, really. But at the same time, I find it boring now, after merely 15 episodes, and I can't even bring myself back to finish it.
Does anyone feel like me about this anime, or it is just me?

Stop watching it unless you want to hate it by the end, never force yourself to watch or read anything and this is coming from a guy who loves this series

I don't really use to hate anime or whatever. I stopped watching Hyouka one month ago and I'll restart from where I left when I'll feel like it, but really, that's not something that bother me.
Plus, I said I really like this anime despite it being boring.

I also found it boring at first. I think I first started to watch it several years ago, dropped it. Started up again but on the last episode I had progressed to and realized I had lost all context. So this time, I decided to take the show on its own terms(mystery solving) and I flew by it in a few days. 5/5.
