unboring
Worth paying attention
Not boring; engaging or interesting enough to hold attention.
The word implies a baseline expectation of tedium that has been overcome: I'm trying to make grammar unboring for my students.
It's often used as faint praise—something unboring isn't necessarily fascinating, just not dull.
