Noko no Tabi? that's the title of the book she recomended. See, Airi is an otaku of culture! No wonder she couldn't get along with glasses guy.
If he was playing Wuwa or another HYV game, maybe it’s excusable (idk Wuwa’s UI tho) but Genshin is an open world game— Blue Archive isn’t. The UI is completely different, getting them mixed up isn’t understandable at all
I immediately thought of Genshin when I saw that sketch. If you actually play games you’ll know— the fact that she doesn’t know and can’t tell the difference isn’t gonna help her be his friend, cuz she’s basically a poser lol
Except, she neither pretended to be a player (so she is not posturing) nor claimed to know these games. She merely thought she recognized the character because it looked like another character she knows about from an outsider perspective, and asked if that was them.
The correct answer would have probably been to tell her, what are the difference between the gameplay and UI rather than act like it wasn't an understandable mistake.
Like if I'm watching Natsume Yuujinchou and someone ask me "is that Jojo again?", Sure that's on them and I'll tell them to get their eyes checked, but if I'm watching Love Live and I'm asked if that's the Idolmaster, I'm not gonna fault them.
(PS: To be clear, the first part of my comment was unrelated to the second part and wasn't meant as a diss against you or anyone playing gacha games, it was just a joke about the characters.
I just edited-in my answer to your post in the same comment to avoid doing a double post.)
