The plot development we never thought we needed. It's really nice seeing Shogun as a person rather than the mental block/foil/physical representation of EU's regret/basically just a facet of Ei.
Given Scaramouche à la Kabukimono, it only makes sense that Shogun herself is also a person. And that idea is so very, very interesting.

Summary
Instead of Apple Faerie Cookie, another, much more familiar face decides to surprise Pure Vanilla's group.
Not that any of them knows who he actually is, features constantly obscured by a hood.
—
Blue was many things. A Virtue, a teacher, a mentor, a leader, a friend. He isn’t anybody now, a shard of what once was stuck in a constant battle against himself.
This batch of cookies try to prove to him otherwise.

The expanded Chapter 7-8 that we never knew we needed.
Featuring Deceit Trio, the backstory of the millenium, the natural character development/downward spiral we all love to see, and soul jam lore. Did I mention that I'm a sucker for lore???

Summary
Seeking the fleeting shadows of his old friend, Pure Vanilla joins the cookies of darkness. Unknown to him, they are a group of ragtag outcasts and damaged people, held together by mirrors and faded strings. His presence just happened to be the tipping point.
Everything begins to fall apart.

Fantastic lore and some super natural worldbuilding expansion, deep conversations long overdue, confronts the deep emotional baggage of our favourite Messianic expy and the motley crew he finds himself with, and excellent character exploration.
Seamless blend of lore, drama, angst, fluff, emotional trauma, deep introspection.

Summary
“He’s Cangse Sanren’s child,” Jin Zixuan’s father said, tapping his fan against his palm so that he would look more like a scholar. Secretly, shamefully, Jin Zixuan thought that it didn’t really work – he just looked like one of those scoundrels that tried to pay for their meals with calligraphy instead of pennies. “Taking him in will show our strength.”
“You dare bring one of your bastard children here,” Jin Zixuan’s mother said, “and I will drown A-Xuan myself rather than let him suffer through the shame of it.”

Summary
"Welcome to a new user experience! You have triggered this interface with the keywords, ‘Stupid game! Stupid devs! I want my f*****g money back!’ You are now bound to the character Tartaglia, the Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui, codename: Childe! We hope you have an enjoyable user experience and we welcome you once again to Genshin Impact 2.0!”
Those are some of the first words Ajax, starving college student extraordinaire, has the misfortune of hearing upon waking up in a brave new world from what he's fairly sure is a very fatal accident involving water and a shit ton of electricity.
Okay, so he's not dead. That's good. But what's this about him being stuck playing the character Tartaglia? Tartaglia, as in the no-good, one-dimensional, cartoonish villain who met his untimely, gruesome death in the first act of the original game?
Forget this. Like hell Ajax is going to share that fate.
And so begins one man's journey to save himself from his awful destiny.

Very interesting plot and character deviation, and how these affect the development of the story. Great work, author-san!
