Is this succession war just pointless filler? (spoilers)

I'm not sure why we should care and see how it will even affect the Dark Continent expedition?. Any of you actually enjoying it?. The designs of the Nen beasts are cool, but I need more than that to feel invested. Doesn't help that OP Sasuke is the only main character in this arc.

This just seems like a repeat of the election arc. So many different people just introduced and wanting a position that we don't even know how it's affects anything.
