12th c. French anti-Celtism is almost exactly like the Harfoots in The Rings of Power

Unfortunately I've reached Perceval in both Chrétien (The Story of the Grail, or Perceval) and Robert de Boron, and I hate it. Again, I'm sure there is plenty that's interesting in a 12th century French story about King Arthur conquering Rome or a mysterious allegory about a completely ignorant and naive young knight who knows nothing about the world, but I'm finding them both very irritating to read. I've gotten a lot more Murderbot and Mapp & Lucia read as a result, but I don't want these to just hang around forever, so I am making an effort to get through.
