>>3941795Natlan clearly went through so many rewrites, Capitano definitely had a bigger role beforehand, and Mavuika wasn't supposed to be a mary sue, the travail trailer implies she was hiding stuff from the traveler and that never happened. I'm 100% sure that writing Capitano and other male characters out of the story, making Mavuika flawless, and the endless traveler glazing section were direct responses to feedback they god in fontaine from self-insert waifufags.
They got what they deserve in the end though, Natlan is the waifu-filled self-insert shounen isekai paradise they always wanted and now even they're complaining that it sucks LMAO. Hopefully hoyo can course correct for Snezhnaya otherwise they're just throwing the almost 4 great years Genshin had down the drain.
