The lore and backstory of the world is interesting enough, and decidedly better than wuwa. The problem is that 95% of the game's story you'll consume isn't about that, it's an advertisement for the limited characters they want you to roll. These characters are devoid of meaningful flaws, are all friendly to the player and to each other, and are typically defined by a handful of popular anime tropes+their profession this also applies to wuwa and zzz for the record. Meanwhile story sequences are really low budget, pretty poorly paced with a bloated word count, at least 30% paimon dialog, and have a bizarre tendency to focus on insanely mundane minutiae (like tax codes, safety regulations, logistics for some shitty festival, etc) instead of the actually interesting aspects of the fantasy world or anything worth caring about.

Like, if you're a major lorefag, I understand liking that aspect of genshin. The fucked up thing about the game is that the cool part of the story (lore) is totally optional, whereas the unskippable mandatory story sucks ass. After almost five years of fat xiao's bullshit I'm personally pretty checked out.
