What I've concluded is that I love seasons with very clear-cut storylines and character arcs. That's why seasons like MvGX, Game Changers and EoE ranked so low because I felt they were way too messy compared to seasons like HvV, China and Micronesia which followed a plot and took you on a journey that just made sense. The only exception to this rule is Cagayan which had an incredibly nonsensical boot order at times but was the most delightful mess regardless
