Are there any season of kamen rider that’s more focused on story and setting then character drama?

It feels like to me the characters are what make kamen rider kamen rider.

I'm not sure there's a single Kamen Rider that knowingly puts setting or story ahead of character. Some of that is because there probably isn't a TV writer who wouldn't prefer to write dramatic dialogue than craft a story; and some of it is because characters sell toys, but story doesn't.

That said!

Of the ones I've seen, I'd say that Gaim and Build have some of the most epic stories of any Kamen Riders. They've got season-long stories with multiple discrete phases, and little in the way of disposable one-offs. (Give or take Sentai crossovers with weird train kids or the random appearance of a blue and red robot man.) Other seasons may have huge villain plots, but Build and Gaim really foreground those elements in a way that, say, Wizard doesn't.
