That's awesome. I need to read Red Rising, I feel like I tend to eye trilogies rather than 10-15 book series nowadays so I might get into it in 2021. What did you think of Rhythm of War?

I'll probably need to do a reread at some point to fully digest the novel, but I'd say Rhythm of War, while still a fantastic book, is the weakest entry in the Stormlight Archive so far. It just didn't feel as epic as the other novels, especially since the secondary plotlines didn't add too much to the story and felt more like setup for future novels. On the other hand, I loved the development of the three 'main' characters in the novel.

Agreed with z0rem about Worm. One of my favorites of all time, but couldn't get through the sequel. About Malazan, I read the first four books and really enjoyed it, but they're really heavy reads. I feel like if I ever want to get back into Malazan, I'd need months of free time with nothing else to do.
However, if you're looking at shorter stories, I'd recommend The Licanius Trilogy from the ones on your list. A pleasant read all-around with one of the most satisfying and well-crafted endings I've ever read.
