One fan explained that as soon as they have to meet with the NPC they, “Start dialogue, minimize screen, open breaking bad, auto clicker over middle dialogue option. It’s gameplay time.” Showing just how far fans will go to avoid having to talk to the NPC.

“Annoying is an understatement,” highlighted one Honkai player with the OP backing the statement up saying, “he’s so arrogant, I hate him.”

However, while many found Mr. Xiyan to be insufferable, one user provided an insight as to why he’s like this, stating, “He’s annoying on purpose cause he’s supposed to be a satire on bad writing tropes and egoistic people who poorly critique writing and think they know better. If you hate him and his stories, then his purpose is fulfilled.”
