Okay so I posted something about the reader being a nerd/theorycrafter and I can't stop thinking about it sooo here's some food after a year. Yeah I know chapter six and more prompts and requests but hear me out on this.
ALSO FONTAINE EDITON
(Because I never wrote about them)

—————————————————————————

You were isekaied into Teyvat a few weeks ago as their creator. It's been alright, though the fame is kind of annoying, Furina has given you hundreds of tips to get away from all of that. You get quite a bit of paperwork, but also the amount of free-time you have after you finish your work makes up for it. Occasionally—Or I guess basically all the time, you'll have someone accompanying you. Of course like anyone else you might run into monsters, but they eradicate them immediately. But you couldn't help be notice that their fighting style is very.. inefficient..? Maybe they don't remember what attacks you used when you were still playing the game and not in it or something because they are doing nothing related to their kit. Like seriously, why did Hu Tao just N1J? (Normal attack, jump) Why is Nilou here when there's no dendro characters? Why did Clorinde not Q EE 5N3E? (Elemental Burst, Skillx2, Normal attack three times then skillx5) She just used her normal attacks? You can only sigh as you walk back to your home in [Insert Preferred Nation]. Then an idea struck you. "What if I make guides?" A guidemaker. There were plenty of those on Youtube and Twitch and Bili Bili and all of those sites. With enough time, you manage to make your first one. And it goes to...

———————————————————-
Clorinde!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh the cool champion duelist. Well, you didn't have her for long on your account so.. you can't really blame her for not knowing a proper rotation. You manage to tell a Melusine working as a Garde to inform Clorinde that you want to give something to her. And before long, she finds you. Before she can say anything, you hand over her signature weapon, Absolution.

Reader: "Why are you just standing there? Aren't you going to take it?"

She takes it by the hilt, noticing the familiar design. She's sworn she's held it in her hands before, but it always disappears afterwards. And.. since it's from you in particular, she'll make sure to not lose it.

Clorinde: "..My apologies. This sight just reminds me of another time."

You weren't too sure what she meant, but that's besides the point. You don't want to miss this chance!

Reader: "Okay then.. But I also wrote this for you. It's kind of like a guide to improve your fighting style."

You hand her the guidebook. You specifically requested that it was like a guidebook with the cover of it representing Clorinde. She takes it into her gloved hands. But she is a bit confused. Was her style and efficiency not already pleasing?

C: "Thank you, Reader. But if I may ask, why did you make this for me?"

Oh, you get what she means. You shake your head and sigh.

R: "No, no. Not really. I like it a lot. But there's always room for improvement, right? Like.. here."

You step beside her and open the book to a page that reveals what rotations she should do.

R: "Just try this: Elemental Burst, Skill twice, Normal attack three times then skill. Repeat the last one around five times. These pictures kind of represent what it's supposed to look like, by the way. If you find the time today, go fight a monster and do that and let me know the results."

She nods and speaks a few words on how she will if she can, and she does. She read it two times before she went out of the city. It seemed like an actual guide with effort put into it, and it was from the one and only creator, so she had to try it out. She went to search around the Beryl Region and found a few Breached Primus's to test on. She loaded her gun and began to do what you asked. She thought she might have to do the rotation twice to kill them all, but with one final swing, she killed all of them. The crazy part is the fact that she didn't even finish the rotation. So she tried it again, and again, and again. It worked so smoothly, and the bond of life never got in the way. It also was extremely efficient. Usually using lots of elemental energy tires one out. But this way, it somehow doesn't! She was definitely telling Navia about this next time they meet.

Neuvillette!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Iudex, of course! It actually hurt whenever you see him use his auto attacks. After receiving permission to enter his office, you place the Tome of Eternal Flow on his desk immediately.

R: It's a gift, I guess. I'm sure this will be better than whatever you're using now.. and here's a guide too."

He barely has time to process what was happening. The doors opened, and suddenly the creator was there giving him stuff? He looks down at the catalyst and the guide. Wait, guide?

R: "It's not super complicated, but.. here's all you need to know."

You then flip to a page with the rotation he can use.

R: "There are multiple rotations, but you probably want to just use your skill and charge attack. I'm sure that the damage you do is already great anyway so you don't need to do a lot. Please don't normal attack again. I just want you to try it if you have the time and let me know what you think."

N: "I see.. I will be sure to attempt to use this some time today."

Mission complete! (+10 respect) You both say your farewells and the conversation is already over. Later, Neuvillette does keep his promise and takes a walk along a riverbank nearby to search for something to duel. It's not long until he comes across some Mekas and he does what you asked. Skill, charge attack. And before he knew it, the enemies were dead after just a few ticks of damage. How effective. He tried it just one last time to confirm. It was easy to use, and very quick. Seems like he has something new to mention to Lady Furina if he sees her.

Wriothesley!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Duke? I mean, fair enough. There's so much you can do. Heck, using Xianyun with him and plunging is so fun. By using a waypoint to get into the Fortress of Meropide, you take the elevator down to go his office. It's not like you can just glide down in a place like this, can you? You're praying to whatever higher being (even though you're technically the highest being) that he's there. And.. he is! In those quests he's always roaming the halls so you're honestly glad. He notices you immediately after hearing that giant door close.

W: "Reader? To what do I owe the pleasure.."

R: "Myself, actually. I have some stuff to give you. Here you go.."

You place Cashflow Supervision on his desk and the guidebook. You honestly had too much fun coming up with a design for this cover. You flip to the part that is just about his rotation. You just point to the one that says E N3C (Normal attack three times, charge attack) because there's no way he has an entire team to do the other ones. (None of the characters do)

R: "This means you use your skill, normal attack thrice, and charge attack. And.. you can use your element burst at the end if you want, or at the start. I just want you to find some time to try this and lend me the results."

W: "Alright. I'm sure this will be the pièce de résistance of my day."

Phew. Got that out of the way. You leave the administrator's office and go home. Soon enough, the Duke finds some time to go to the Pankration Ring and test some of it out. When he looked out those pictures and did a quick read, it all made sense to him. But it did surprise him on how easy it was to defeat anyone and everything with this in particular. It also didn't wear him out. Even when he kind of felt like it did, when he used his charge attack, it all went away for some reason. How interesting. Looks like he has a new story to tell Sigewinne.

———————————————
Some time passed and well.. now everyone wants guides from you, and people also take their own opinions from your guides and add some extra, sometimes being right, and other times being completely wrong. You started to mald at people saying that you don't need hyperbloom in an Alhaitham Furina team but like.. of course you don't you're using Alhaitham and Furina but it's an amazing passive source of damage that takes literally nothing to build and it's just free damage why wouldn't you want it but okay. Or maybe people saying the electro is only good with dendro. That's not true. There's literally taser teams. Like are they trying to screw you over with a javelin? Well now you have a creator who's also a guide, isn't that neat?

———————————————
That's all for nowww
It wasn't exactly what I envisioned but yknow close enough. Anyway sorry for the -1yr wait. I might be coming back soon so stay tuned. And as per usual may the stars guide you.
