Well now you know how I used to feel about Naruto Shippuden.

Genshin goes from: Find Sibling → Destroy the laws of the universe (probably)

Naruto goes from: Become Hokage → Sasuke PLEASE come home

Imagine not changing over 6 years. It's more interesting this way.

Just as Naruto's goal changed from wanting to become Hokage for selfish recognition to becoming someone worthy of Hokage by saving others selflessly.

So too has the Traveler's goal changed. They must reckon with the fact that their sibling has been irrevocably changed by Teyvat. Finding them is not enough. They cannot go back to their life as it was before. The Abyss Sibling has been embroiled in a conflict centuries in the making, and the Traveler made it at just the right time to witness everything boil over.

Genshin becomes less of WHERE is my sibling?

And more of...

Venti - HR

Zhongli - Accountant (used to be a CEO of his own company and retired. But he got bored so he's helping Rukkhadevata run her business.)

Ei - that one super competent worker. Do not fire her or everything starts falling apart.

Nahida - the CEO's (Rukkhadevata) kid they like to babysit

Furina - Marketing

Something about the combination of a murder mystery, a revenge plot, and an apprentice surpasses the master plot is just mmmm delicious 😋
