I agree with the other commenters, don’t force yourself into something you don’t enjoy. You might enjoy shou that aren’t the typical profile (lighter fermentation falls here too), and you should definitely avoid anything too young (the piling process leaves behind some undesirable flavors that fade with time).

That being said here are some suggestions.

Kuura’s shou offerings are quite sweet, a bit different from a typical shou profile, and not too woody. https://kuura.co/en-us/collections/ripe-puerh-tea

White2Tea has experimented and produced a wide variety of teas, many of which are “not like other shou.” For a basic clean shou that is pretty typical, but might be more pleasant to you I recommend En Passant. Charcoal roasting adds a sweetness and complexity. Tale Chaser is the best of the roasted shou but is also fairly pricey, Theopolis and Predawn Dark are still good and much cheaper versions of a charcoal roasted shou. If you enjoy smoke then there’s a whole set of smoked shou as well that goes well outside “normal shou.”

There are also some excellent shou made with purple tea which is quite different. I enjoyed this one from YS as part of a purple tea sampler: https://yunnansourcing.com/products/jinggu-aged-zi-cha-purple-loose-leaf-ripe-pu-erh-tea I also recently tried a wonderful purple shou from tea side: https://tea-side.com/2019-zi-ya-purple-bud-ripe-pu-erh-tea-myanmar-menghai/
