There are exceptions to every rule and every author is different. Keep on trying until you find what suits you best. In the end, nothing is useless. You'll learn tips from your unfinished draft that help you with your next novel. Just think of what went wrong with it and try to avoid doing the same.

I had the same problem and for myself, I opted to follow 'Option 2'. A new story and finish it until the end. Then, maybe someday, I'll go back to my 1st story but with a different plot. Otherwise, I'll just re-write the same crap.

When you have all these doubts and can't even find a way how to start to re-write it, just sit for a few minutes and think if it's worth wasting time on something you found so hard to continue. If you're feeling stuck all the time, I think it means the idea in your head isn't so clear as you thought it to be.
