I don't play Genshin the way you're "supposed" to though. I need to save this somewhere because I keep having to explain it.
Anyway, if I'm tired and want to play something, but don't really wanna have to think about it much, I throw on Genshin and then just roam around? I fight things or find things. I get into areas I shouldn't. I die a lot. I almost never actually do quests, especially the story quests, and I have never ever put any money into it and don't know anything about any of the characters I've randomly drawn from the resources I've gotten. None of that part interests me at all.
Really I just love having a giant sandbox of randomness to run around in with cool elemental abilities.
