Despite facing harsh criticism and being labeled with 'poor' storyline, MiHoYo's blockbuster still emerges victorious in the most impressive narrative category of 2023.

In some mysterious manner, Honkai: Star Rail continues to garner numerous impressive awards.

Launched in April 2023, Honkai: Star Rail (HSR) is perceived as a fresh and innovative step, reigniting the remarkable appeal of Gacha games following the immense success of Genshin Impact. Continuing MiHoYo's legacy, this game also incorporates a complex storyline system, easily engaging players. However, this aspect is not highly valued by the gaming community compared to its predecessors. Many gamers even assert that HSR features captivating gameplay and easy accessibility but possesses a completely contrasting storyline.

For instance, the debut and introduction of the 'Van Thượng Ngũ Kiêu' group have compelled the HSR community to expend significant effort. Countless intense debates, outcry, and blame directed at the publisher for various reasons have persisted for a prolonged period. Simply due to the addition of too many superfluous elements, HSR suddenly transforms into a 'mixed bag' in the eyes of players, leading to considerable disappointment until the present moment.

For some unknown reason, this becomes the decisive factor for HSR to 'snatch' numerous valuable awards. Recently, the game unexpectedly won in 3 categories of GooglePlay’s Best Of 2023, including Best Game of 2023, Best Story, Best Tablet Game. Moreover, HSR also triumphed in the iPhone Game of the Year category of Apple App Store, raising many questions among the audience.

It can only be affirmed that Honkai: Star Rail still impresses the international community with its brand 'script'. Despite continuous criticism, ironically, this is what helps Vietnamese HSR gamers receive more rewards from the publisher. With this success, perhaps the game will continue to puzzle players with many other complicated ideas in the future.
