Genshin Isekai With Homies [Ao3 Crosspost]

Appendix - Commentaries

Basically Author's Notes from AO3.
Recommended to read after each chapter for best taste.

Ch11 End Notes [will be collated down below when ch12 comes]:

Beginning Notes
Soar with the raging passion!

End Notes
[1] Author is listening to the Genshin OST: Against all odds: https://youtu.be/V3VG0F59XQw?si=6NgcVJBn8LInodTe

[2] I headcanon that Chongyun and Razor might have initial beef with each other because their fighting styles clash on the surface: Chongyun thrives in burst spamming element for others while Razor carry DPS with physical. However, they both share the similar values in loyalty, so they'll come around uwu

[3] *cough* This fanfic is purely fiction, the thoughts and views of the characters may be related, but not representative, of the author. *cough* XD

[4] I've been catching on new mangas lately, and I recommend Dragon and Chameleon! It's a manga about mangaka with a small twist uwu. It's amazing how it can turn just "drawing" into a shounen!

Happy Chinese New Year!
Wow, I was this close to the deadline! Haha!
Anyways, have a good day!~

Chapter 1:

Beginning Notes
This is for Bgtea & inspired by Entirely Out of Spite by Bgtea. (AO3)
Such delicious madness leads to more madness XD.

End Notes
[1] While I write this, I also listened to this song by Mafumafu "[MV] Role-Playing Game／SoraMafuUraSaka

And with that, the story's vibe is settled.

[2] The Grinch is a fictional character from Dr. Zeus, which got jealous of Santa Claus and stole all the Christmas gifts.

Thank you for reading this fic! If you like it, I'd appreciate a kudos and/or a comment to let me know what you think!

Let's go~~

Chapter 2:

Beginning Notes
Artistic Liberties, here I come!~

End Notes
--References--

[1] Bennett high defence is inspired by my own build, which somehow has a LoT of energy recharge & def. Soooo, my Bennett carries my team a lot of time, by being the last man alive XD.

[2] I tried to make the character's stats a mix of their lore, game mechanics, and builds that I've seen. Felix complains about atk because Bennett's burst, Fantastic Voyage, gives attack bonus scaling off Bennett's strength. However, like I said before, I base Bennett on my def build.

[3] Kamehameha is a reference to the special attack of Goku, a character from "Dragon Ball."

[4] "Check the specs" is a quote from a cartoon called "Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero", where the MC asks his secretary for info every time before the mission.

[5] Yes. Those Abyss Mages are inspired by something. Kudos to whoever catches the ref~ ;D
How many pop references? YES.--

Phew, that was a ride wasn't it?
The next chapter's gonna be more on the slice of life chill side.

What do you guys see in-game that you wonder could have gone better? Or what are things you take for granted that don't really make sense?
I.e. what would food taste like? How would the fighting mechanics work? How do NPC sees us when we kill Timmie's birds? -w-

With a pyro archon, an unstable soldier, a manic exorcist, a literal alien, and emergency food to top it all up, anything is possible.If you ask, there are more chances it'll go in the fic than not ;D
