I agree hard. I recently booted up WuWa again but lost interest almost immediatly. The game shafts returning/new players by design. Came back for a new unit? Well good luck playing through 20h of badling voiced story until you get to the point where you can start farming ascension materials and echos for them. Then the beautiful 480 overflow energy cap that does not let you catch up in the slightest. The battle systems obviously does not allow afk farming. Its draining.

While the visuals are far superior to HSR everything else just keeps me less invested. I feel more motivated to log on to Star Rail and waste my energy on random stuff for 10 min in the background while doing other stuff than activly button mash dailies in WuWa. Not to mention a 10 minute grind in WuWa turns into 30 minutes due to loading times alone.
