Finally completed the Archon Quests up through the end of the Nod-Krai arc this past weekend. *Huzzah!* On reflection, I decided to do a personal ranking of how I liked the main Archon Quest story arcs. First up, the TLDR:
Sumeru > Nod-Krai = Natlan > Fontaine > Mondstadt > Liyue > Inazuma > Abyss Interludes
By Abyss interlude, I am lumping all of the extra acts at the end of each nation's archon quest, centered around Dainsleif and our main character's sibling.
The above also doesn't include the Interlude story quests because they are so much more shorter than the listed arcs. But if I were to include them, it would look something like this:
Sumeru > Nod-Krai = Natlan = Perilous Trail > Fontaine > Crane Returns > Mondstadt > Liyue > Inversion of Genesis > Inazuma > Abyss Interludes > Paralogism.
