Both Sleeping Dogs and Grand Theft Auto 5 tell an action-adventure crime story be it with different goals in mind. Sleeping Dogs' story is much more serious and emotional than Grand Theft Auto 5's, which is more cynical and satirical.
Sleeping Dogs,without a question! Both were essentially GTA clones,but Sleeping Dogs felt like a much better GTA than GTA 4(This was before GTA 5 was released)… Here are some reasons why: Hong Kong felt like a different and fully realised world from the Chicagos and Liberty Cities that we were seeing.
GTA 4 is longer and was a better weapon system. Sleeping Dogs is highly focused on hand to hand combat, and while shorter is way more polished than GTA 4. TL;DR? GTA 4 lets you shoot weapons, fly/drive whatever you want all over with massive explosions at a meh graphical quality for hours.
If you enjoyed Sleeping Dogs, then you will fall in love with Yakuza. Players on Reddit declare this title is better in every way it can. It is a Japanese action game released by SEGA and a prequel to the entire Yakuza series.
The standout of Sleeping Dogs is the incredibly epic story and the fighting/driving system. The combat system never really gets old and the driving system presents it's own amount of fun.
Upon its release in 2012, the game received positive reviews for its combat, voice acting, protagonist, experience system and depiction of the city; but its camera and some animations were criticized. Within one year, the game had sold over 1.5 million copies.
In pretty much every way possible I'd go with sleeping dogs <3. Seriously the game is amazing and you'll love it. At some times it is less serious than WD but , in all the other times it remains a very serious game to play. This game has story much much better and interesting than Watch dogs.

If you like fun and video games, get Sleeping Dogs. If you have a bunch of options, I'd recommend the PC version of the original title, though that wouldn't include the DLC, it looks amazing, and apparently in the definitive version, they've upped the fog, which lowers the impact of how stark the neon signs were in the original. I'd recommend this for details:
It shows the original back to back with the definitive. If you don't have a PC, which I'm guessing you don't because you're here asking, PS4 version will be better than PS3 for sure.
I didn't equate sales to quality although you normally can. You said GTA 5 is basically no fun. I just find it hard to believe that 35 million people paid to not have fun.
Also did sleeping dogs have planes, helicopters, boats, jet skis?
Did it have purchasable property?
Side kick dog?
3 playable characters?
Multiplayer some people apparently love?
Not to mention the website which tracks your activities and compares with your friends.
Stock market to screw with while at work.
Hell the heist sequences are all epic. The story is over the top and fun. There is way more activities in GTA 5.
The only thing sleeping dogs does better is hand to hand combat.
