I actually enjoyed this abyss cycle (except for chamber 12-1-1, and its bs rng). Just look at all the weird teams part 2 incentivized us to play.

And frankly, it's not as difficult as people make it to be : floor 12-2 and 12-3 are relatively easy when you know which teammates to bring (or not to bring). And it's nice to have a floor as challenging as floor 12-1.

Finally. The content drought for Genshin is near its end !

Lots of interesting new characters, like the blonde lady (Navia ?), the judge (Neuvilette ?), black-haired "leather guy" (Wtfsley ?), and of course the Arlechino and the Hydro Archon. But my favorite is the gun lady (Captain R / Clorinde ?). She better not get Dehya'd !

It doesn't have to be great, as long as it provides a decent change of pace.

But i hope it will be popular : i'd be glad if they expand underwater exploration to areas like Cider Lake, or between the archipels of Inazuma.
