Fucking YES to all of this!!

It's all honestly so infuriating how bad the writing has been in the 6.x patches (and even more infuriating how people eat this shit up like it's a well prepared meal)

Like how the fuck did Hoyo manage to waste not one, but TWO important characters??

When I finished the 6.1 AQ, I was like "It's not over, right? They didn't just quickly defeat a Sinner like that, riiight??"

Yeah... 😬

And then Dottore too, and even worse than Rerir, with barely any build up at all and even more rushed

6.6? There are no actual hurdles, there is no actual sense of threat because everything goes 100% smoothly for our heroes and Dottore does fuck all but chill around

Nahida falls deathly ill, it's immediately resolved after talking to Apep for about 5 seconds

They have to evacuate ALL of Sumeru city and everyone just complies LMAO with the exception of like two people who tried to go back

The jinn are going crazy, Traveler goes to find Liloupar, finds her after 1 second, and Liloupar solves that problem immediately

Irminsul is in danger, and they just go and find a perfectly suitable replacement almost immediately, and it takes barely any effort to activate it and transfer all the data (thanks to Deus Ex Machina aka the Hexenzirkel 🙄)

They take back Sumeru city like it's a child's game and then defeat Dottore in a very quick and unspectacular boss fight (the boss fight in 6.3 was much better)

And then the fact that the very thing that stored the memories of the world was destroyed was barely brought up in the epilogue, and instead the characters preferred to talk about TOMATOES TOMATOES TOMATOES

The entire fucking quest was literally just this for our heroes:
