Recently I started reading a novel that I was excited to read. After getting approximately 45% into it, I lost the pace. It started becoming slow and lousy.

I thought to leave it unfinished but it was from one of my favorite writer (Paulo), so why not just complete it just to meet the finish line?

Sometimes we complete work just because we have started it, regardless of its interest. Is there a word or phrase for this situation?
