The problem is that Elly is just too dull a character to make us give a darn about whether she fulfills her quest or goes unappreciated the rest of her life.
The odd thing is that her life of superlative dullness seems to be what attracted the readership; they care nothing for her as a person but they can identify with her futile and irrelevant struggle because she provides validation of their own lives.
