Ding Liren, sharp games and tactical playstyle (don't argue this is my interpretation)

Sure. IMO he is also a world championship contender and as good as Nepo and Fabi but somehow gets unlucky in important tournaments

I agree.
So or Liren.
I also like Dubov’s games (not that I can understand them lol)

Agreed.
Nihal Sarin and prag. Youngsters who can achieve way more in their future.

I don't have one. I probably will find a GM though...

Hmmmmmm this is a good question. Maybe Ivanchuk, Nepo, Dubov as they have very fun and exciting games!
By the way we can't miss out Anish Giri for the humorous content and Alexander Grischuk ....

anish at this point feels like "whatever" cause at times he can even be the 2nd best player in the wolrd while at others he is just a normal elite player. at this point i feel like its clear that he is more going in "with the flow" than trying to beat magnus and take his title from him.
True
I will also add Judit Polgar. Just so that the selection is more inclusive and representative as well
Dubov and Harikrishna. The slow grinding of Harikrishna is likeable and Dubov's tactical sharpness and trying to play for a win at all costs is really one of my favourites.
