General & Others When Did One Piece Fall Off For You?

I don't know if it ever fell off for me but it definitely declined in quality after the time skip, nobody can deny that.
Besides the writing, I also miss the crew interactions and such which used to be so much better and genuine.
It also feels like the minor members of the Straw hats were more valued before whereas post ts it felt like a lot of side characters that no one cares about were taking too much spotlight over them which is not normal.
but it's been getting back up in a way to be fair, egg head feels refreshing and Oda has been taking advantage of the awesome world he created by showing different events at the same time of actual interesting characters that people care about.
I have good expectations of what's to come

The second half of WCI starting with the Tamatebakko explosion was a disaster with the overuse of plot armor and plot induced stupidity in the Straw Hats' favor, the wedding cake chase, Big Mom and her daughters being clowned and mistreated and neglected so badly, the eternizing fight against Katakuri when Luffy should have died a hundred times, the Zeff issue being dropped, the cringeworthy and so convenient Zeus subplot, etc...
This made me drop One Piece for several months because I had enough, but I came back for the very end of WCI and beginning of Wano, still hoping that Oda would learn his lessons and do better for Wano.
I enjoyed the first part of Wano overall but several issues started to weight on the story such as Tama and her power, O-Lin's plot, the stupid BMP waterfall issue but it was less problematic than the Udon mini-arc with prison just turning to be a training camp for Luffy, and of course the Oden flashback which started well but became so bad with Oden being such a dumb and overrated character thrown into our mouths and underserving of the idolization he got, and him submitting to Orochi and Kaido and doing that stupid cringeworthy dance under the weak excuse of saving people while he was in truth allowing Kaido to reinforce his power and persecute Wano even worse.
And then happened the other disaster of Onigashima war, combining Dressrosa and WCI flaws but in even worse with far too much stalling, plot armor and convenience, bland or dislikeable side characters, utter lack of tensions and stakes, weak writing, etc...
This arc really did something to me and my appreciation of One Piece, there is a before and an after Onigashima for me. Now I am still struggling to find some excitement and surprises about OP.

I don’t think it has fallen off for me at any point I was disappointed in zkk not happening but more then that I was disappointed that we ended wano without much of anything on zoro backstory or his character, but I do feel like we are going back to wano and weather or not zkk happens I’m sure Oda will do zoro justice when he is ready to cook for him
