While he is clearly the best player holding the world title will be a bit hollow

Carlsen wanted to play Firouzja. If he had won the candidate’s tournament he may have defended his title. It’s a sad day for Chess with Carlsen about to relinquish his world crown. I can’t see him in a few years deciding to play the candidates tournament.
I think Carlsen will go down as the GOAT

It's so theory heavy now
In classical if nobody blunders its all draws

Carlsen is chasing an elo score of 2900+. He won't achieve that by defending his World Championship. It's too long a period for the opposite player to cram up on computer aided moves / plays which inevitably ends in draws (save for the beasting he gave Nepo). Carlsen knows his strengths and his best way to the 2900 mark is via other formats.

Nepo committed suicide over the board

It seemed the occasion got to him, thing is he will be better for it and he has come straight back and won the candidates event which is very hard to win ( and he didn’t need all the time to win it either) he will start as favourite when he plays the worlds.

Nepo will start as favourite as has been there before. He'll lose as he is not a natural player / thinker.
