Genshin Impact “Chapter 10: Fools Trick” (Part 1 + Part 2) Webtoon Review
On October 27, 2020, I started and finished reading Genshin Impact Webtoon’s Chapter 10: Fools’ Trick Parts 1 and 2. This chapter had a focus on Collei and her traumatic past being triggered during a magic box trick. While I would normally be annoyed with the distraction from the plot, this Webtoon did the right thing with finally giving us more attention to the characters. Amber and Collei’s friendship was also being more established—hopeful airhead with traumatized brood.
Collei was triggered into a panic attack when she was stuck in the magic box, and would’ve killed Amber if the knife wasn’t a prop. The artwork had been so consistent with this Webtoon, so the moment felt pretty surreal. I honestly thought Collei had stabbed Amber, and the emotional moment with Amber telling Collei that she’s free to cry and be happy—to feel whatever she wants—was also profound. I’m liking Amber’s character so much, which makes me even more furious that her gameplay is below D-tier in the video game.
The ending to the chapter felt abrupt when Amber left Collei for the mission, having left Collei alone with Kaeya. I didn’t particularly like this plot development, but it doesn’t seem like Collei has abandonment issues—as far as I can anyway—so I guess it’s okay? Kaeya is also taking a weird interest in Collei, and I have no idea why.
Overall, this Webtoon seems geared for fan service especially with the video game growing more popular with each passing day. I’m not sure what’s going on with the plot anymore, but as long as the artwork is consistently enjoyable, I will keep it reading until the end. Thanks for reading this Webtoon review, everyone!
