Honestly i wasnt that big of a fan of honkai impact 3 i mean i like it but it has allot of decisions that i hated about it i hate how it handles interpersonal relationships and its villains. i think making apho was a big mistake from a story perspective and character perspective when you dont even know what ending you are gonna write, also seperating main characters for so long just because you want to write a new story when the old one is still on going is just bad it really stole the screentime that main characters could have had yea not a fan of Elysian realm. As for the Genshin Samsara thing is also real in genshin kinda weird he didnt get into that because in genshin world s also in a loop and resets each cycle thats why we have in lore two erased past timelines that we know off
