I'm mostly focusing on how badly I want sketchy-glasses-guy in the Kinich arc to be Enjou. Characters I really like in Genshin are few and far between, and we generally wind up fighting them.

But yeah - Ajaw is hideous. I'm hoping he has wittier lines in Chinese, and the translators just dropped the ball hard, but the English version just makes him sound like a cheap knock-off of Disney's Iago. The one thing I'm enjoying about him is how mad he makes Paimon. Because I like the traveler's familiar even less than this little twit.

I dislike Paimon as well. She's not anywhere near as bad in CN voice as this atrocious screetchy mess in EN but I dislike her attitude and how she's the reason the Travellers barely speak themselves.
Not sure about the CN lines for Ajaw being better though because I don't speak Chinese and the English text tends to be dubtitles rather than actual translations/the English translations for the game tend to be pretty lacking from what I've seen CN native speakers report. He doesn't sound nearly as bad but that's about the most positive thing I can say about it.

AYRT Yeah, I can't know either. I can just easily imagine Ajaw's lines sucking less in the language he was originally written in, and I know from experience translating between other languages that I do speak that getting a character's sense of humor across accurately, especially when it's underhanded and mean, can take a lot more time and effort to get right than when they're presenting themselves in a more straightforward way.

I only just started the chronicle quest and I'm pretty sure it's Enjou, haha. He's great, shame some of the best writing is typically for NPCs (e.g.: Jeht).

I immediately went - Ohai Enjou :D
Hope we won't be disappointed.
