I'm only playing Blue Archive and FEH (Fire Emblem Heroes), my phone's not doing so hot I'm only playing low intensive gachas. I used to play Guardian Tales and Lost Word, however GT is too intense for my phone, meanwhile I've fallen out of favour for LW.

Funny story, I was interested in Genshin way back when Mihoyo (at the time) revealed its teaser trailer at E3 2019. I wanted to play the game at launch ever since a Switch version was revealed. To this day, I never played it. Because the promised Switch version never came, and my PC at the time couldn't even run its website to download. HSR I've heard. I wanted to try it, but I don't have strong enough devices to run it and the same could be said to ZZZ, but I'm way more interested in ZZZ because of the aesthetics.

So your enjoyment of the series is that low? Just a few months ago and I'd be completely baffled as to why, as I was still catching up to current stuff. Now that I caught up, knowing the context, and with the whole KV Drama happened, It soured me as well to the point that I had to take a hiatus. I haven't played since around the time KV closed down. I was gonna return once the new Gehenna x Hyakki tourism event arrives, which is in a few days from now. Nexon also gave a letter to overseas players not to worry about the recent changes, which didn't really convinced me.


To rip the band-aid off, the event's story isn't anything spectacular. Rather, it was the implications and reveals that made it hyped. Hears what was revealed so far.

• Shanhaijing leans heavily into traditionalism. Which recontextualize two things.
  
  
  
  1. Rumi and the Black Tortoise Promenade are an outlier to the majority or even entirety of the school.
     
  2. Outsiders are apparently frowned upon, even when it comes to political guest like the Red Winter Office and SCHALE.
     
  
  
• Kisaki has been a target of a political assassination in the past through poison, which was caused by Kai of the Seven Prisoners. The poison was potent enough to stunted her growth alongside other health problems.
  
• Saya also had some recontextualization, the immortality potion gag she always wanted to create was the cure for Kisaki's condition all along.
  
• The antagonist Kaguya is a major traditionalist of the school. Even more than the Genryumon itself. She was incited by Kai to rebel because Kisaki was appointed as Student Council President while she was a second year and not a third year student, which is unprecedented.
  
• Speaking of Kai, she is shaping up to be as devious as Beatrice, a very different approach compared to the other 3 Seven Prisoners (one more was revealed between your hiatus and the event.) Kai would've graduated if it wasn't for her expulsion. Usually expulsions are a lengthy process in Shanhaijing, however Kisaki immediately banished her, which goes against the norm. Kaguya wants to bring her back just to expel her again with the proper proceedings. (That's how far she takes her policy, which is brain-dead, lol.)
  
• Finally, while the coup was quelled thanks to SCHALE and the RWO, the epilogue reveals there's more political unrest as a result of the coup, hinting at a Shanhaijing Volume.
  

Do you have any thoughts about what I said? There is probably stuff I'm missing. Seems Shanhaijing is getting a lot more focus. With the reveal of yet another Shanhaijing event with playable Reijo and Kisaki kind of makes me have hope for the game. Of course, the jury's still not out yet if the void can be filled.

I'm aware of the fact that Yume has the CH code, I'm more worried on how would it be justified in doing so. Unlike in Guardian Tales which does have playable characters that died in the story,

1. Sensei has never met Yume before.
   
2. A large part of adding a character is also adding stuff like cafe interactions, relationship stories, and the like needs to happen in real time. Even the collabs characters like the Railgun characters have justifications since all of the above had happened before that were sent back.
   
3. I'm gonna parrot this from you, I don't want this to negatively affect Hoshino's development as a character.
   

I can't see myself wishing she was playable unless these three issues were addressed. But if she were to be playable, it'll be a guarantee spark regardless of whether she's viable or not.

I'll admit that I can't think highly of Vol 4 and 5. The characters aren't the issue, it's that the plot hinders their full potential. I can admit that RABBIT Squad doing the 180 was quick, I would have like to see them still antagonistic until at least the end of Chapter 2. Or at least let the team divided on who like Sensei (Miyako, Miyu) and who doesn't (Saki, Moe). That'll make for a nice drama. It'll also be a nice contrast to the FOX Squad being polite and kind to Sensei.

Have you saw the latest Moonlight Dream event (Shanhaijing X Red Winter)? In case if you didn't,
