I didn't find it particularly fast myself, infact I was already hoping for the season to end 4 periods in after Dach got hurt.
That said, watching Slaf progress and seeing Suzuki just continually level up year after year has made the season bearable, and even enjoyable at times.
If we can end up in 5th last, I don't think you could ask for a better "tank season" all things considered. There's no way we could get lower IMO. With Dach, a healthy Newhook all season and this teams compete level, we're not sniffing anything close to that.
