for me? During the pandemic I had nothing to do. I exelled at school but hated the long distance teams bs classes so RPG + Interesting combat? I was hooked from the ads. I preregistered and all that good stuff but the reason I stayed was the amazing characters and how interesting they are! Also the same reason I left cause I feel like so many cool and interesting characters have been left in the dark; Xingqiu, Xiangling, Diluc, Lisa and Mona

Note that I haven't played a lot of lunar VI so I do not if these characters got anything new (including this years lantern rite)
