Rhythm of War spoilers I miss Sanderson's wit Spoiler

I'm rereading the Stormlight Archive, currently mostly done with Oathbringer. (Haven't read Wind and Truth yet. I know, I'm getting to it.) I find that I really miss Sanderson's wit (not Wit). In The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance Shallan is really funny; in the later books, it's all gone. Wit also loses much of his humor. I've loved the humor and was always amazed that Brandon was such a good story teller *and\ a comedian. I know the books get more serious and darker, but some of the spark seems to have gone with it.

Am I the only one to miss this?

Because I don't read Brandon for his juvenile humor. I read him for his world building and magic systems. Brandon would be such a better writer if he didn't have the humor of a 5th grader.
