Trivia
- The artists are only credited on the cover pages of the Simplified and Traditional Chinese versions.

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.
