i’m 200 pages into les mis and there has not yet been a single mention of any sewer system, parisian or otherwise. i feel cheated.

That’s because you have to be introduced to the other main characters first- some candlesticks and the battle of Waterloo

a good point but considering i am now 300 pages in and have met the battle of waterloo i believe i have a valid claim

Fair enough, but really you need to know about the nuns of Petit-Picpus and the slang of the French criminal underground for context
