Having played this Special Research myself, I enjoyed the Professor Willow dialogue quite a bit this time. A critique that I had for the Season of Heritage in Pokémon GO was how the story was told through the blog and social media rather than the actual game. The Season of Alola is off to a good start, but I do wish the actual tasks and gameplay of this Special Research were more involved, interesting, and challenging. Special Research, even when it was based on an event like the Halloween Research in the past, used to feel substantial, but this one was easy to breeze through. Even a Tapu Koko encounter at the end would've at least made it feel like the encounters matched the themes of the dialogue.
