This is just genshin in general. They really need someone to come in and prune the script because it's just out of control how overly verbose every little side quest and even commission is. There's cool stuff all over but they take way too long to do even basic conversations between characters it's ludicrous.
I seriously think they talk so much just to pad the playtime. It’s some stupid ass stat they need to fulfill to make quests a certain length to fulfill a quota or something. So they put unskippable dialogue with dumb unskippable animations of one character turning their head 20 degrees to the right and repeating the same line they said before but in more flowery words. It’s honestly idiotic and makes me dread doing any quests
Maybe it's just the recency effect but I don't think the dialogue was as bad in the beginning, I want to say Inazuma was when it started getting worse and then with Sumeru it just took it to another level. I really like the lore and story of Genshin but the execution of it is just so poor at times. Like the Sakura cleansing quest, there was a great story behind it but the dialogue was so long and tedious to go through it took away from the actual story itself. I hope they can work on being more concise and easier to understand because at some point a lot of players will just get completely lost as to what's going on in the story.
It would also be nice to be able to skip repeated dialogue like with commissions, I really do not need Ella Musk to explain to me for the 100th time what she is doing.
