A new and sudden web event is now available for a limited time through Genshin Impact’s in-game ‘Special Event’ or through this link. But I have a better solution, play the game right on this page and get all the rewards without opening any other external page!
Table of Contents
Gameplay Overview
The event will be available from December 21, 2022, until December 30 at 23:59 (UTC+8). You have 9 days to complete all the tasks and manually claim the rewards from the event page.
The web event takes a total of 5 days to complete as the stages are time-gated. Your task is to gather inspiration by logging in to Genshin Impact and completing specific missions that will vary each day. After you get enough inspiration, you can then unlock youkai themes in order.
In each Youkai theme, you can create several light novels based on the multiple options you choose. But ultimately, you only need to create one light novel for each theme to get the rewards. Getting the other endings are completely optional and have no rewards at all.
Gameplay Details
Click here to open the web event page (or directly play the event above). Make sure to log in using your HoYoverse / HoYoLAB account and choose your server.
1) Get Inspiration
The first thing you need to do in the web event is to gather inspiration from the ‘Get Inspiration’ bottom right corner icon (You won’t miss it). There are 5 days with different tasks for you to complete, but all are mundane works in Genshin Impact that you will often do like logging in, completing daily commissions, cooking dishes, and others. During the first five days after the event begins, a new inspiration quest will be available every day at 04:00 AM (Server Time).
2) Writing Light Novels
Now that you have enough Inspiration, tap on the ‘Start Writing’ cloud beside Traveler and Paimon. As you can see in the image above, every theme is time-gated and you need to wait until they unlock all of them. Use the inspiration you claim earlier and unlock the Youkai theme that was available. From the first day of the event, a new youkai-themed creation level will be unlocked each day at 04:00 AM (Server Time).
After you choose the Youkai theme, there will be different dialogue to choose from. From the options given, you can choose literally any options you want because there are no right or wrong answers. In fact, you can repeat this multiple times to get all the Light Novels’ endings, but the rewards for each theme will only be given once, meaning that you don’t have to get all the other endings if you don’t want to.
3) Reader’s Reply
Once you choose the options, the light novel will be finished and you can click ‘Accept Paycheck’ to get the rewards. After that, you can restart the dialogue option again to get other content but as I mentioned before, there will be no additional rewards at all except different Reader’s Reply.
