The way he ended each major post-skip arc so far and how high the expecations from fans are despite Oda's recent record, I'm not exactly optimistic OP will get a satisfying conclusion for most fans.
Dressrosa ended with the fleet forming which was great
Wci ended in nothing (bad)
Wano ended with emperor (good) awakening (good) nika retcon (bad)
Egghead was good
I am not that negative.
Specially comparing wano to wgghead

Jinbeis sacrifice is nothing???
 
If you want to write it that bad, then I can say that enies lobby ended with a magic boat dying.
Or I can say that a handicap stopped the marineford war.
Not really smart to just downplay stuff by using the most retarded perspective.
The bad part about the Egghead ending (which was a very good arc up until the Gorosei arrival) was that the last 15 chapters were one gigantic stallfest.

The robot was already up and ready to use "Joyboy haki deus-ex-machina", the SHs had about 100 yards to run to the Elbaph ship and Vegapunk had to simply drop his "the world is sinking" revelation (broadcast was already up and he didn't say more groundbreaking stuff anyway).

I repeat: It took Oda 15 chapters (one and a half volumes!) to execute those three rather quick/simple plot points.

If we're being honest, that's content for 3-4 chapters maximum, but nothing more.

It's like he decided to put in the rest of the Gorosei for whatever reason and then realized "Fuck, now I have to drag out the arc finale, because it looks weird otherwise ... but I don't have more plot points left!!!!"

I agree.
And this is a great breakdown.
Much better than "it ended with a dead man haki attack"

The problem is that, as always, one piece reads worse week by week, but much better all together. If you reread it now it flows much better.

I completely agree, but I would argue Egghead was good up until LOda decided to skip over the Vegapunk murder mystery section and completely offscreened the Seraphim fights and most of the CP0+Straw Hats team up, and it all amounted to York looking like an idiot, much like the rest of the Vegapunks as the story went on. But skipping the Seraphim fights was just ugh.

I get it, before that we were getting the Garp vs Blackbeards drama, but there was no reason to skip over what could've been a really interesting conflict, especially if York had been played more seriously as a dangerous intellectual threat. If anything, reading Egghead one sitting actually makes it feel worse, especially since the Garp stuff was a flashback, not something that was happening in real time.
