It's interesting.

On the one hand, I agree in some sense that the fun adventures are probably better than the grim aspect of it.

On the other hand, the grimness is an inherent part of the genres involved - specifically the hard-boiled detective part. Those stories don't end well. It's a really grim genre. So it seems sort of hard to avoid some kind of evolution along those lines.

On the third hand, the writing was barely competent enough to successfully execute goofy nerd adventures, let alone grim emotional storytelling.

Grimness is a part of the noir, yes. My issue (and I made it through Ghost Story) is that it looked like it was picking up an apocalypse endgame, which felt too-high-stakes for what I wanted to read.

There's also a lot of points where Dresden just kinda creeped me out in the later books.
