Gaming luls are a thing and it is fine to live through them. However long it takes, it doesn't matter until you get that envy back or a peculiar gives you the nice eye. The pandemic made me feel that way for 3 months were I could've played basically anything I wanted but I didn't because there were other things I cared too much about at the time.

Anywoo, I think diversification of genres played helps tremendously as well.
You said you're more open to good story games ?
Good lord ! You've got a pletra of ADV(Visual Novel), puzzle-Adventure games with them having amongst the best written stories of the media ...

Basically, go play the Nonary games (999, Virtue's Last Reward, Zero Time Dilemma) collection.

Otherwise, you'd benefit from sweet but " simpler" experiences too. Donut County could be in your alley since it has a raccoon in it, I presume˜

Sorry but the raccoon spot in my heart is already taken.

I appreciate those suggestions, but I don't think I'm much interested in any of them and they've led me to a more simple realization: that maybe what I've lost interest in, is Japanese games as a whole.

But for the moment I'm really not gonna go through with any suggestions, I can't get into games atm and I'm very much into other things that are taking up my time. Like there was a period of maybe 6 months or so where I really wasn't interested in anything and wasn't doing anything particularly meaningful with my free time, but that's been changing. Obviously since May because that's when my brain got taken over by a raccoon (again), but since then, I've branched out into trying to develop other forms of artistic expression (writing) and then that also led me back to working on my music again (it'd been dormant for a year).

I think I'm fine with just trying to force myself through to the end of TotK whenever I feel like it, and then just replaying games I enjoy until Silksong comes along. I believe in that one.
