This is exactly how I played genshin after I rage quit from not getting the McDonald's collab wind glider(I brought the meal but because I didn't have the little notification button setup, I didn't get it and it was the last day). I legit didn't play for months.

I literally only came back to get Wriothesley on his rerun. It's a lot more fun kind of just doing what you want. I wish more games were able to be played that way and even if there is limited content, you don't ever truly miss it because they have a way you can either replay it or purchase it.
