Genshin Impact: Joining the Genius Society from the Start

Here's a joke: Ningguang ranks Liyue first because she's a kind-hearted businesswoman. I don't think she's the kind of person who's either kind or evil; if she were kind, Yelan wouldn't be working for her.

Even if you're not a combat-savvy Destruction or Hunting Commander, nor a powerful Void Commander, you're still a Commander! And you were personally chosen by the Learned One as a member of the Genius Club, becoming a subordinate to someone who's barely even a Herrscher. The protagonist is shameless, but the Learned One still has a sense of shame.

Holy crap, Blanca, you just gave her away? Wow, that's impressive, got cocky? Giving away girls now?

Can you please move the plot forward and stop with the boring daily routines? As a member of the genius club, do something genius-level! This is breeding, not intellectual work...

The protagonist inexplicably becomes an executive officer for a pittance of funds at the start. Seriously, someone who can create plasma sparks with their bare hands should be able to easily raise funds. They could easily build a few puppets for their subordinates. Then they say they're going to Inazuma to find the fox.

The protagonist is a nouveau riche who uses his cheat-like creations to mock true geniuses. He endlessly belittles geniuses to make his own creations seem superior, unaware that even rare artifacts are more sophisticated than his. And his miniature galaxy is so poorly analyzed that it's almost laughable—it's not even as good as a simple bag.

The protagonist's characterization feels awkward. He's strong, but he's like a fat tiger, completely lacking in manners. There's no arrogance of a genius, but rather a shameful display of inflated ego. No matter how you compare him to geniuses like Snake, Black Tower, or V2V, he just seems like an inflated nouveau riche with absolutely no substance.

Seriously, I'm speechless. In novels, if a female protagonist doesn't have sex a couple of times, she gets accused of being a kept woman.

What a case of impotence in the harem! It took over four hundred submissions to finally get a member.

Just a heads-up, I've only read a dozen chapters, and the protagonist is like an obedient servant, doing whatever he's told. He starts with invincible power in Genshin Impact, and when the Captain wants a spatial ring and the Ice Queen wants him to join the Fatui, he agrees without hesitation. Why didn't he just kill the Skirmishers and the Doctor at the beginning? If he didn't have the strength, that would be one thing.
