Just curious but what is your current go-to filler/casual/gateway/family/holiday/wedding/funeral game? Are there light games that you are a fan of?
7 Wonders offers more decisions for me in the same timeframe. As does Biblios. No giant monsters, but definitely more engaging gameplay.
For YOU!
I think 7W is the most overrated game in the top 100 - at least that I've played. I think the outcome is far too often decided by seating arrangement. I probably dislike the hype about this game as much as you dislike the hype of KoT. But at least KoT is supposed to be light and borders on being a party game. If any game is masquerading as something it's not it's 7W, not KoT.
There's a line here. I've said 7W won't stand the test of time. I think better games will come to replace it. I think better games already exist. But I have to admit it's not a horrible or broken game. It's not like I think it shouldn't be in the top 1000. I'm not calling it Yahtzee or saying people who like 7W are a bunch of morons.
Criticize the game, not the players.
