Genshin burnout

Ive been playing genshin for like 3 years now i think, i joined in the beginning of 2022, and it was the first game that i was really interested in. even though im not a building or lore expert, i still had fun playing the characters and doing the story. i was a pretty big fan, until natlan got released, and thats when my view of genshin flipped. imo i feel like that natlan story wasnt that interesting(?) like i couldn’t really get into it like in fontaine, but putting the story aside, the biggest problem that i and most people had was the skin colors of the natlan characters, theyre african and yet theyre pale af, i was willing to let sumeru slide but you’re not telling me that all the characters are that pale in african sun. and as a poc and just a normal person in general, i would’ve really loved to see all the natlan characters have my skin tone and darker, sure we got iansaan with darker skin but they couldn’t even do that right bc she looks really desaturated like they literally took a white skin tone and just turned the brightness down they didn’t give my girl any pigment. dont even get me started on mauvikas design like its pretty but it doesn’t look like genshin to me, i get that shes supposed to resemble himeko from honkai but this is her in a different universe you can change whatever, they made ei fit the genshin style why couldn’t they do it with her? As you can see i have a lot to rant about natlan and not in a good way, i feel like they really fumbled the bag with this one and it made me wonder if the game was worth playing if they straight up said “your skin color isnt pretty.” I like genshin, i feel like its one of the best mobile games you can get, and i really want to like it, but i cant after natlan im sorry, i think what im going to do is only come in for major events, and to wrap up the story, but once the main story finishes im going to delete genshin, it feels rly harsh since i was so into it only a few years ago and it almost feels like im going deleting a part of my history, but i dont see myself playing after sneznaya gets added. (Sry for misspelling anything i forgor lol)

Update: I deleted the game for hsr bc it was taking up a bunch of storage lol

this is so true!! i feel like the last time i felt any sort of enthusiasm (that i had initially) was during the kaeya skin event and then i stopped playing for a year or so. especially with natlan, the plotline wasn't terrible but i couldn't get myself to like it because i was very disappointed with the design and how the game took a very meta oriented turn. i came back during nod krai, so far so good but i do miss old genshin very much it just doesn't feel the same anymore :((
