      It is because of rare uploads and videos so long they discourage retention. Those things are not good for getting big. This kind of content takes a lot to get big with, and it is going to be a while before a channel that has been posting for only 9 months and has only 11 videos becomes very large. It is, unfortunately, how CZcams runs.

    I watched til the end and just realized that this is a 1-year+ old video. I'm impressed with all the efforts and details thrown into this one single recap video, and also the fact that how deep the lore runs in Genshin to the point that 3 hrs is not enough to cover everything the game has to offer (not to mention that it's still expanding and not gonna stop anytime soon). Also made me realized how much time could have been saved if there was a skip button all along lol. Thanks for the video, it really reminds me of what made me loved Genshin so much ever since the release. Looking forward to future volumes as well!

There are a million other things hidden in the lore of artifacts and weapons like crimson with of flame artifacts set or the 5 musical instrument weapons that adds to the story of the manga which is an entirely different topic. Not to mention there’s so much about khean’riah we don’t know plus the books give us info on Celestia and where it comes from. Not to mention the whole subplot of the gnosis’

The first day i logged in, the awe at seeing mondstadt for the first time, the glittering eyes i had for all the cool characters *cough*kaeyaandxiao*cough*, and the emotional responses i had to certain scenes.

      Me but weeks ago. When genshin was released years ago I tried downloading it on my phone. But uninstalled it immediately since I don't want to get distracted because I have school and such. But when I downloaded the game again (just in AR 19 for now) I really enjoyed it but at the same time since I focus on my academics I play the game sometimes. But yepp I half regret it since I also missed some important events *sigh

    I stopped playing genshin because i had no money for a computer and my iphone's storage was full. I absolutelly loved the game and hated it when i had to quit. I was really into it, it was my safe place and it trully means a lot to me. Unfortunately, because of health problems (which comes with bad memory and forgetting almost everything) i forgot almost everything. Now, after i was able to buy new computer, the first thing i did was to download genshin again. I stopped when i finished dendro chapter. But i didnt want to play straight away when i dont remember things. So, thank you so much for your videos, it helps me a lot and i absolutelly appreacite that you also sum up the events, as i started the game right after liyue release. Love your work, keep up!

    I know the video is pushing a year old so this comment will likely mean nothing but I just wanna toss out into the universe that I've been playing Genshin since global launch but have never paid much attention to the story. I'm one of those "gamers" that skips dialogue and cutscenes (though I always watch the pretty pre rendered cutscenes). I just don't have the time to sit through hours and hours of anime drivel. But I have always been curious what's going on from the snippets I pick up here and there. Never curious enough to actually look into it. But YT tossed this video recommendation at me today and after seeing the length of the video I immediately dismissed this for the same reason I've skipped everything in the game. Ain't nobody got time for that. But the update is going on right now and I've got a hankering for Genshin. So I went looking for this video and honestly, I was actually bought in within the first few minutes.
    You have done what needs done to force feed this anime garbage to an inpatient and very tired dead-inside adult. You've married the lore with tasteful comedic accents. You're not overbearing with how many, nor obnoxious with how intense. You're content creation is on point my dude. I'm subscribing for sure. If you bring this sort of effort and character to all your stuff, I'm definitely on board.

    First off, this is amazing and so well put together! Thank you so much for putting in all the effort in creating this timeline/history video! Second, just a note which has likely already been said, but Albedo is not biologically related to Klee, Alice, or the "race of longevity" (which many have presumed to be an elf-like species due to Klee's ears). He is (spoilers for his backstory) an alchemical experiement created by "Gold"/Rhinedottir, a woman from Khaenri'ah who also created the Rifthounds in Inazuma. This is why he feels a connection to Durin, because they are both creations of Rhinedottir and could essentially be considered siblings. Alice and Rhinedottir are friends and after spending his youth with his master, Albedo was given a note which told him to go find Alice and join the Knights of Favonious. Alice told Albedo to call her "mother" but he doesn't, rather refering to her as "Aunt Alice" as we saw. Despite this, he sees and treats Klee as his younger sister, often looking after her. So yeah! Not biological siblings or cousins, but they do have a family-type relationship!

      Great comment! I made sure to word it in a vague enough way where this revelation could still be surprising in Part 2, as, like you said, Albedo uses the word "aunt." So I just say that he's "also within that family tree" without saying that he's blood related to them.
