I don't think there's been really that much of overstatement on Gavv's uniqueness. Most of the time I think it's more like people being happy that we finally have a change in pace after having, again, 5 seasons of animal-themed (partially or completely) Riders. At least with the main Riders, since other Riders tend to be a lot freer with what motifs they have, like in Saber. And honestly, a candy/snack themed Rider is just a ton of fun to begin with, I think. And Slash and Saikou were definitely my favorites from Saber with how off-the-wall they were compared to the others in Saber.

I feel like saying that "the reaction to them is like most of audience hasn't seen seen anything beyond the first ten Riders" is a little condescending? Like people always gush about the suits and seasons they love (which might come off as an overstatement for some). Also, I don't really think it's fair trying to rank each season's uniqueness, either. Like Den-O's uniqueness isn't really comparable to Gavv's. Each one does something different, even if there're common tropes (which is a symptom of a long-running franchise than it is of the writers, really).
