Trivia

Translation

The manga goes by different titles in different languages: in Japanese, it is called Genshin Selevents (原神セレベンツ), in Traditional Chinese it is Yuanshen Project (原神PROJECT; its official Chinese name), and the English name goes with Genshin Impact.
Each language goes at its own pace of translating and splitting into parts; Simplified Chinese and Japanese are the only languages that do not split its chapters into parts.
In the English version, some terms are translated differently than the game; for example, the Knights of Favonius are called Ordo Favonius.
Il Dottore's name was misspelled as Il Dotorre in the original Chinese version, which carried over into the English translation. However, the English translation corrected this error in later chapters.
