She protec She attac But most importantly, She an emergency snac

The Seven Sovereigns are the dragons! We've met 2 - Apep and Neuvillete.

20:32 Lore enthusiast here. The Sun- Child king was actually just a literal child. There is some dark backstory behind this. The artistocrats of enkanomiya put these children in power so they can act as a sort of puppet and control enkanomiya. When the children grew up they were killed as to not realize the truth behind it. They killed them by burning them in the Dainchi Mikoshi in the lie that they would ascend. 22:01 Raiden has a voiceline about this book

17:56 Leanard wasn't trying to climb Dragonspine He was trying to climb the mountain which used to exist on musk reef (now Spiral Abyss) We saw this in Unreconciled Stars Event

I think the reason you find the Al-ahmar book confusing is because there is a whole world quest explaining what happened. He's King deshert one of the old god of Sumeru.

The heart of clear springs' ending is actually the event "waterborne poetry" frlm 4.1!! You can still find its cutscene on the official youtube channel :)

Some of the fairytale books are important. The authors/ppl who know about the Irminsul stuff (tampering with the Irminsul can basically erase memories/a person's existence) code their books to preserve history. So even if they look/sound like fairy tales it might mean something else entirely. Example: The Pale Princess and the Six Pygmies As of 4.7, we learned that there are 5 Sinners of Khaenri'ah + Dainsleif that stole abyss powers from somewhere/someone we don't know. This aligns with the Six Pygmies killing and stealing the prince's powers and one of the pygmy being guilty about what happened (in this case the guilty pygmy who hides the body inside the tree will be Dainsleif). My Name for Now's recent video about this explains which pygmy is which sinner if you wanna check that out.

this is giving the "I read all 337 books in skyrim" polygon unraveled video haha props to you for going through all of these o7

Please please do a "I read all the artifact descriptions", where you read the artifact stories with no context and rank them A lot of the books reference artifact stories and vice verse

Arlechino isn't Angelica. She's a remnant from the Crimson Moon dynasty of Khaenri'ah , which is also the source of the Balemoon Bloodfire power that she has

I think i recall someone mentioning that the six pygmies were meant to refer to the six strongest in Khaenri'ah, 5 of which became sinners.

Lmao i love the petty author cursing the his critic 😭😭😭

Yeah the pale princess is the book that was featured in the Lisa story quest, the one that the abyss order was after. It’s also written by the hexenzirkle member who writes ‘children’s fairytales’ in mond. AAaaand it’s the story that the wolfie in the imaginarium theater is based off of, and the author is pRobably the mage lady wolfie talks about (not sure just speculation for that part)

The mad lad did it, and even put timestamps, holy gigachad. Checked Trekker because of you, and absolutely got charmed. I forgot how enjoyable it was to read short stories. I wanted to thank you for that.

28:44 Plot twist they are blood related. Thanks Liloupar your story really needed incest.

Power couple Goodnight Layla Xingquack Somebody help Diluc Idk, Chicken Bacon sandwich with curry dressing (And salat, onions, etc.) tastes pretty good :3 No tomato or pickles tho, bleugh

AN HOUR LONG VIDEO?!?! He actually did it, u okay?? T_T

this is a great background noise while I’m doing work, good job!

I loved this video!! its so fun to hear ppls takes on genshin books and this was rlly well done. great work :D one small note! 12:43 al-ahmar is actually pronounced al-aHmar, not al-aKHmar. i know this letter H of arabic can be a little difficult for people, but you actually kinda say it right here at 13:29! when you say meHHH. the H in aHmar is almost like when you finish drinking something and you sigh "aHH.." it's very soft, no fricative KH involved, just like an English H. if you ever get into Sumeru lore, i'd love to hear your thoughts on it! :D please keep up the awesome work

Quite a lot of the stories in the game are actually just record-keeping tools that can circumvent Irminsul tampering. Basically, the knowledge that “some stories are historical allegories, not fiction” can’t really be erased, and by reading the stories you can deduce what you *don’t* know, that you should have known. This method isn’t always effective, as Lesser Lord Kusanali simply replaced Greater Lord Rukhadevata in all historical texts, but when The Balladeer erased himself without providing a substitute, the stories about his life allowed us to re-deduce it after the tampering took place.

Absolutly amazing. Thanks! I always was curious about the books, but never took the time to read them

Glad to see a continuation of this. Gonna watch the whole thing when I get back home later today.

The little witch and the undying fire gets better by knowing that each chapter is written by a different member of the hexenzirkel and that it's essentatially a goodbye to Andersdotter, a deceased member who wrote a lot of the fairytales in teyvat. And since fairytales serve as a way to preserve memories altered by irminsul, the book mentioning that the universe is dying is ominous to say the least.

Power couple Jin is like creation of god of flower, just replay the Jet quest in the big sandstorm place Goodnight Layla 18:32 timestamp for later

teacher: you have to do this book review over summer me as a student: takes forever and hates the whole process of writing it hoyo: here books me: oh hell yeah ... *me makes tea, gets comfortable, and reads those books like the morning newspaper*

33:00 they made an end for the story in the book and the happy ending was in a poetry event with Diona / venti / hu tao and other characters were in it it was a fun event in 4.1

I don’t know where you are in the story but I would love to hear your thoughts on the Genshin main story after you play it, especially Sumeru and Fontaine! (Fontaine is actual peak) The kingdom of Remuria was added as a playable area in 4.6 and it has an amazing world quest that expands on everything in the books

Okay but really, why Mihoyo doesn't make an actual merchandise of these lore books? Fans would love to buy them.

Great video! I love the little drawings

I can't thank you enough for two things : first of all, this is gonna make me board my lost friend into the game because she likes reading books and your descriptions just makes one really wanna read further. And secondly for being a fellow Rex Lapis apologist haha.

I cannot tell you just how much i love these videos.

Love this. Makes me wanna read all the books myself, honestly. This game is such a goldmine if you look even just the tiniest bit deeper than the main story and banners. The Hilichurl books are great and I frequently reference them and their wiki pages to decode hilichurlian-- every Hilichurl noise in the game is actually translatable communication. The reason they all yell "YA!" when they see you and start attacking is that "Ya" translates to "human!" It's interesting trying to decipher what they're saying as they attack you. Some of it's pretty interesting as they're sometimes actively insulting you/telling you to stand still/congratulating you on being a worthy opponent.

well done! i do not have the attention span for this so thank you very much kind sir! glad the algorithm worked in my favor this time and recommended you! definitely subbed now! keep up the good work!! 🤗 power couple 👫 goodnight layla 🌟 xingquack 🦆 somebody help diluc 🔥 grilled cheese (no grilled cheese emoji 😔)

20:48 maybe someone already mentioned it, yes, the seven sovereigns were the seven sovereign dragons(of which Neuvillette is a reincarnation of one) who's powers were stolen for the gnosis' that give power to the archons. 7 sovereigns = the power of the seven archons

38:40 i’m sorry but this was just so funny the way u could barely hit the ruin grader bc it was flying then got interrupted by a cutscene 😭😭😭

Please read the books, thank you! ❤ Tbh though, I'd really watch that - or rather - listen to that. I consume hours upon hours of content while I work so... 😌

Bro was attack buffing NEUVILLETTE

oh I didn't even know leanard had a book, he had a event for himself back in 1.1 called unreconciled stars spoilers and his will was so strong his constellation fell from the sky. And the mountain he wanted to climb was the spiral abyss island before it sunk and oh, I'm guessing you haven't made it to the fountaine arc nor nahida part 2. Won't say what it entails. Edit nevermind someone already said it, yeah the 7 sovereigns are the dragons. It's really cool that old finch and callirhoe got 2 events that told their story and gave it a conclusion. Also apparently callirhoe can grant wishes because diona got her wine powers from callirhoe was it ever accepted arlechinno is angelica.....angelica is from liyue while arlechinno is a crimson moon dynasty descendant. I feel the most popular theory I'm caught up with is angelica is istaroth the god of time because of the line "I am freedom" which links to venti being god of wind, and istaroth other title is 1000 winds of time and was worshipped in mondstat on the mysterious island ah the 2 musketeers, another book that made it to the limited events. Though idk if it was made with the event or before that is some painful ruin snake gameplay...

Well with the summer event we know that the witch who wrote the fairy tales was obsessed with cliffhangers 😁

the boar princess has vol 8 that WE CAN'T ACCESS 😢

I haven’t read king Al- Ahmar book yet But I just want to let you know the difference between a gene and jinn is jinn are basically demons and they can posses you :)

havent watched the video yet but HOLT CRAP WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELF?!

21:12 yes.

13:45 Goddamm man, Xingqui is a nerd, well, I shouldn't be that surprised he whole ass aci fi novel since that does seem like his only passion

Finally have the time to watch this video! Thank you, this was a very entertaining watch. I think a lot of these books make more sense when you do the world quests and that's when people will appreciate it more. But you get there when you get there. It's the same with the lore. Only problem is if you missed limited time events that gives more context or continuation to the books because i think that makes them more interesting, like the two musketeers (where chevreuse's investigation leads to finding a real murderer related to this book), heart of clear springs (the continuation of this book and how the spring fairy relates to diona) and the one about leonard. Btw im only assuming you missed them because i think you would've mentioned them in the video if you did the events, which you can probably find somewhere on KZfaq if you're interested. Sorry this has gotten long. Again, thanks for the video! I really think what you did here - for yourself and other viewers - can make exploring genshin more enjoyable as you progress and get to know the world more.

power couple, goodnight Layla, Xingquack, somebody help Diluc, bánh mì but that's more a sub, so maybe something like a Reuben for true sandwiches. Thank you for your hard work. I think you'd have benefited a lot from having lore knowledge but your argument about not having enough time is super valid 😂

I think Vera's melancholy is important because it mentioned about greek mythology. Maybe it was written by a someone not from teyvat.

The lore for the adventurers in dragonspine are actually talked about in the pale flame set description along with the noblesse oblige set

Good night layla

Vera’s Melancholy is probably my favourite, because I’m a sucker for space lesbians. I mean, I’m writing a space lesbians! Or, technically, a space lesbian and three space bisexuals (of which two are in the female, and one is in the male variety).

Great! Now do EVERY single note on the ground

Dawei pls send this guy 1000 free pulls. He deserved it

7:20 Something tells me this is the type of book to be the most fucked by translations

Yo Toki Alley Tales might be on to something saying humans come from youkai cause all fontanians come from oceanids and in mostadt they got the cat people so maybe the monster human pipeline isn’t that crazy

idk if im tripping but your voice sounds like eng tartaglia so this feels like childe talking abt his readlist on his book youtube acc lmaooo!

Where did you get the "Of Mountains and Seas" book? Based on your summary, it's heavily related to the 1.1 Reconciled Stars Event where that meteorite fell from the sky and everybody who touched it dreamt the same dream of past-Leonard trying to climb the mountain that is now submerged in water and today known as "Musk Reef".

Just some interesting lore, or the like, additions to some of the books, in case anyone is interested (sorry if some were already mentioned): 2:00 So, some people know more about this book than others cuz contents of all the other volumes got datamined and leaked at like the beginning of the game. As for why people find significance even more now (SPOILERS FOR THE LATEST DAIN QUEST, you've been warned, skip to next timestamp if you don't wanna see it)..... it's almost confirmed that the six pigmies in the story are the 5 great sinners of khaenriah + dainslief (he says "me and the 5 sinners" in the quest specifically). To understand this, you need to search all the volumes yourself (obviously might spoil yourself) but basically the six pigmies in the story seemingly have the reversed personality traits of the sinners and dain 2:55 For the pharmacist Yasumoto. This is actually part of a quite sad world quest. Basically, he was a traveling doctor that wanted to help cure tatarigami on Yashiori Island, even when half the villagers died. He might have continued to stay cuz of guilt of those he couldn't save and responsibility to the living. In the first note, you can see that he didn't have a cure, so he at least tried to make Lavender Melon soup for people to at least try to make people believe that they feel better. The only thing, in another note that we can find, people actually have discovered what he was doing and it wasn't pretty: "...Yasumoto is a fraud. All he does is boil Lavender Melon with Sugar, which has no medicinal properties whatsoever... ...He always seemed like a waste of space, and sure enough, he can't be trusted..." In the second note, woman mentions her child Chouji, who is part of the other world quest on the island Third note mentions that Yasumoto will try the cure on himself after meeting the traveler. That's where the world quest with Yatsumoto actually starts and we help to gather materials for him for a few days. After that, Yasumoto disappears but by following him with elemental sight, traveler finds a basket of Naku Weeds that are left behind on the southernmost point of Yashiori Island. While his fate remains ambiguous, the Chinese description of the achievement for doing the quest is "Witness the ending of Yasumoto." 3:55 Someone, in 2021, tried to translate this ballad based on the info we have on hilichurlian language (this isn't a perfect translation but still, credit to Thekenneths on the wiki): "Hello! Hello! You eat meat! Not, not eat meat, You eat vegetables! Eat vegetables, eat stone, You weak weak!" 4:20 So, the you actually meet Roland on Tsurumi Island and help him in a quest, after which he leaves, but the funny part is that he manages to drop his diary, which is the last volume of the book 5:30 Another fun fact, with addition of the new mode, Imaginarium Theater, you can draw fortune slips there once a season (month) and those have excerpts from random books (you can find it on the wiki page of the theater). And some of them ARE from History of Kings and Clans. Here are the volumes it has (basically the History of Kings and Clans: name of the volume): Tyrants, Heirs, and Rebels (I), Tyrants, Heirs, and Rebels (XII), Tyrants, Heirs, and Rebels (V), The Cultivation of Mondstadt (V), Tyrants, Heirs, and Rebels (III), Tyrants, Heirs, and Rebels (XI) 6:05 So, the end of the book implies that the boy will walk across Teyvat to find the young girl friend. The boy is the author, Chang the Ninth and the girl is Little Nine, a ghost girl you can find and have a world quest with near Qingce Village. Chang didn't know that she died and thought she just disappeared, while Little Nine became a ghost and stopped aging. It's a really bad TLDR but there's a whole quest for that if you're interested that can be found even on wiki. Or just search the girl's name on wiki, it will give the TLDR of their story 6:40 Ode to Khvarena is actually really important lore vise and while i understand why it might sound like just Colorful language but NO, all of those are actual names, people and places in Sumeru. I don't see a point of explaining it much, though, since there's a whole quest chain called "Khvarena of Good and Evil" that explains most of that stuff and is one of my favorite world quests (just cuz of all the lore it gives) (the quest chains is also super long and i won't be able to TLDR it) 9:30 This book actually gave us quite a bit of important info on Remuria, considering it came out in 4.0 and Remuria itself came out in 4.6 11:30 Mondstadt tower, i'm pretty sure, is a reference to a Hunchback of Notre Dame. And one of it's later excerpts can also be found in the Imaginarium Theater 12:43 Also lore relevant book, mostly to just the whole lore of the Desert (well, King Deshret's part of the desert to be exact, AKA Al-Alhmar AKA Amun, the guy has quite a few names and a LOT of lore connected to him). The end is also abrupt cuz it continues in one of BEST world quests story wise. Like, people want an NPC from that quest to become playable character, she's such a good written character (the name of the quest is The Golden Slumber + has continuation quests) 15:45 Not anything about the contents of the book but most people hate it, cuz to get the last volume you have to fish 10 pages from the waters in Inazuma and you have a 2% chance to get a page along with the fish you caught. Some people still don't have that volume 17:55 Leonard is actually the first big Event NPC, the 1.1 event, Unreconciled Stars (which is really important to lore TBH) was kinda about him. He did found the way down but couldn't actually conquer the mountain. So instead, he CREATED THE WINDGLIDERS that all the people use nowadays in Teyvat. In the event, The strength of his will was so strong, it induced the meteorite showers that sent those who touched it into a deep slumber, where they dreamt of ascending the mountain. Those trapped in the dream felt compelled to climb it, as though possessed. You can also see that, with creation of Glider and his name, he's basically a reference to Leonardo da Vinci 18:25 So, the aristocrats mentioned here actually have more story on them in other parts of the game (mostly weapons). Specifically Eberhart, Eberhart's slave (the gladiator from... Gladiator artifact set), red-haired reaper (Vannessa), Parsifal and Priscilla 22:05 Without spoilers, there definitely is more truth 23:00 Guizhong is actually really important character to Liyue and was theorized to even be Rex Lapis' lover (though game only states them as very good friends). You can learn more from 2023 Lantern Rite event 27:35 This one is actually a retelling of the events of the first volume (well, prologue) of genshin manga. Definitely a recommended read if you liked the book 27:55 Funnily/Interestingly enough, Legend of the Shattered Halberd seems to be really important for lore. Not only does it have some allegories to the main story but Prinzessin der Verurteilung at the end is literally Fischl. Well, not the playable character (real name Amy) but the character she LARPs as. And that character might also be really important to the lore. Making Amy herself a walking and talking red flag anytime she talks as Fischl. And obviously, it's connected to Flowers for Princess Fischl 28:15 This is actually a retelling of the history of one of the places in the desert, connected to a world quest and is part of the quest chain with that best written NPC i mentioned previously. The book itself is inspired by the story Khosrow and Shirin from real life (1/2)

>:) thank you for this video, loved watching/listening to this

The algorithm is wack. Hi, I'm new to your channel. I haven't watched lore for genshin, but both of your videos on genshin books came up for me, and this is the first video of yours I've watched (listened to), and I made it all the eay through. So... Guess it was worth your effort if it gets new subs, right? :) I like listening to your voice

That you had the patience to go read every damn book, and summarize it in a game where people don't even wanna read the main story quest text has to come with an extra achievement on its own. Have 160 internet primogems ✨

Arlecchino is said to be PERINHERI, not Angelika. 😅😅😅 BTW, Perinheri's gender isn't specified in the original book (depending on who you choose as your traveler), although the book Perinheri is an allegory rather than facts. As for the Six Pygmies, the rest of the books have been leaked, so they're available to read of you don't mind leaked content.

HELL YEAH I LOVE THIS. LET'S GO!!!!

Child is that you? jokes aside ur voice really surprised me cause it sounds quite a bit like Childs lol

Now read all the books in honkai star rail /j

Wasn't Al-Ahmar another name of King Deshret?

Extra Nice 📚📖📚

wasnt the story about the spring fairy an actual quest with the oceanid?

Good night Layla

24:55 The petty writer is just an Arab person, when some Arab people get mad they start talking like that I've seen it for my self, there also a play in Egypt where they make fun of this behavior 😂😂

Just do wotld quests then they make sense

Um actually angelica is not arlechino Ps don curse me

THANK YOU. the books are so unreadable in the game but i was always curious what was going on 😭 so much lore. this comes just at the right time! PS goodnight layla! watching this to sleep as well

God sent His son Jesus to die for our sins on the cross. This was the ultimate expression of God's love for us. Then God raised Jesus from the dead on the third day. Please repent and turn to Jesus and receive Salvation now before it's too late. The end times written about in the Holy Bible are already happening in the world. Jesus loves you with all His heart ❤️ but time is almost up.
