The generation X run that ended with jubilee becoming human and getting her powers back was pretty good. As was Williams X-factor. Vita new mutants was some of the best character building and driven stories of this era. Hellions was also very good and character driven. Sabretooth, both minis. On reread extraodinary x-men was better than i remember, lemire really did a good job with both hands tied. The original onslaught had some powerful character moments from all sides of the MU. Operation Zero tolerance is a personal fave but does have a bit of action but the connections matter. I will never forget the issue with the team arriving back at the x-mansion and the bomb being removed from Cyclops and Juggernaunt showing up cause he owned the property now. lol
Oh the story where Betsy got her original body back was good too, seeing her rebuild herself as she saw herself.
The all new different x-men was pretty good too, i will never forget the air battle drawn by bachalo and the spin on the new 05.
Hunt for Xavier, i will always remember the scene with Storm putting out Pyro again drawn by bachalo.
I mean the X-men vol 2 # 80 that was a good run as well.
Lol there have been A LOT.

Many many to choose from but if you want some intense charachter work, probably the most detailed charachter work from an xbook you might wanna read life death by Chris Claremont. No mutant powers, no shenanigans just ororo feeling stuff and assessing who she really is and where she stands in the grand scheme of things. Xmen red is yet another solid charachter study of not only ororo but also magneto.
Ororo Munroe is Twilight Sparkle in xmen red if that makes sense.
X-treme X-men, like the whole run of x-treme was good. I mean characters were slowly pulled which affected the plots but what was there before Storm was basically left alone was top notch stuff. This was a family team doing their best during one of the darkest times in x-history, Morrison run. Though Morrison run did do a good job of setting mutants up to deserve House of M and being depowered. After all the crap they pulled and stealing land from humans, letting mutants run rampant, i did kind of shrug at the initial action of it happening but you can't really blame the characters for writers. No one was written in character imo during that run, it was the start of evident plot over subject or character.

I thought the original X-Men Unlimited arc was pretty good.
Woods x-men was pretty good and character driven. The issues drawn by lopez i hold a particular fondness of especially the COlossus/Storm confrontation.

Marjorie Liu's Astonishing X-Men run has some very under-rated character driven stories, particularly for Karma, Iceman and Northstar.
So true. Magik’s arc leading up to and thru the Demon Bear saga was pretty cool. She’s struggling to fit in, not quite sure what’s causing her armor to appear, and the rest of the team aren’t quite ready to trust her. By the time it’s over it’s clear she’s the MVP even though there aren’t any real answers about what is going on with her.
Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 issue 182. A Rogue focused story how she deals with Danvers becoming the more dominant in her body. I was young when I did read it the first time, I cried
And it's Rogue in her orange tunique (I dont know how to write that word). What more can you ask for?

New x-men 127
-Marvel Graphic Novel N.5, X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills, by Chris Claremont and Brent Anderson
-Wolverine, by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller
-Uncanny X-Men (2013), which complements really well, though the next series is more action packed, with All New X-Men (2013). Both series written by Brian Michael Bendis with a huge cast of outstanding pencillers. There are runs which I like more, like New X-Men, written by Grant Morrison, but where I think the high concepts may overshadow the characterizations
-Uncanny X-Force (2010), by Rick Remender with Jerome Opeña, Esad Ribic, Phil Noto and more!
-All New Wolverine (2016), by Tom Taylor, an amazing writer when it comes to character-driven stories, and many great pencillers, such as Juann Cabal, David López w/David Navarrot, and Ramón Rosanas, to name a few
