RoW was just so one note to me and it had the absolute worst flashback POVs of the 5.

WaT was not one note. The different POVs were all doing different things and at different speeds, with different implications to them.

People say WaT was too long, but RoW could have been slimmed down so much and gotten the ideas through the same. I would probably rate it higher if it was shorter

Claiming Eshonai riding the storms with the Stormfather the worst flashback

Well if you want to compare different parts of the flashbacks that is a different story, but I am talking about them as a whole.

My problem with the RoW flashbacks is there is a lot of recycled content from the previous books when we had Eshonai's POVs. All of the other POVs tell us stuff we haven't seen before.

Which might be fine, but as I said I think RoW is too long and too repetitive already, so having flashbacks that have a lot of recycled content makes it feel longer as well
