I enjoy the imagination and storytelling most of all. Coming up with an adventure for all of us to discuss and enjoy is fun!
But most of the groups I’ve played with take forever to do anything. We’ll spend like 4 sessions just trying to wrap up a scenario in a tavern and move on. I need to find a DM who can keep the action going and not just give people all the time they want to talk their way through a situation before acting. And I also need to find players who are more decisive.
I’ve played with five completely different groups in the past 20 years, and all of them were exactly like this.

Have you ever played any ttrpgs other than dnd?
I tried Warhammer 40K once, but I got the cold shoulder when I mentioned I didn’t have any minis to play with.
They also took 3 sessions to finish pursuing a suspicious character across an alley. I nope’d out of the group after that.
I would strongly suggest trying out something that is not so “crunchy”.
FATE, Without Numbers, Powered by the Apocalypse are all game engines that may appeal to you and generally emphasize faster pace gameplay/narratives.
Daggerheart is good at this as well. I also recommend Fabula Ultima, but it’s less appealing if you don’t like anime or jrpgs in my opinion.
If you are open to playing a game online with webcams, I could try to run something for you but no promises.
