1717 Key Story Observations

1818

1919 The launch narrative is episodic rather than centered on a single overarching villain. Each chapter typically resolves its own boss and hero arc. Notable structural elements:

2020

2121 The first real chapter after the Prologue is "First Steps at Jixia" (初涉稷下), which formally introduces the academyChapter 1 of Jixia proper is 梦启春溪原 (Dream Awakens at Chunxi Plain), placing Chunxi Plain / Springbrook Plains as the first open-world region players exploreDongfang Yao has a dedicated arc across Chapters 11 to 12 (Cloud Fall Anomaly and Stellar Awakening), culminating in his confrontation with 云狌 (Yunsheng / "Divine Pattern Yunsheng")The "Yao Series" chapters 20, 22, 24 are framed as fiction-within-fiction storybook adventures featuring Dongfang YaoChapter 25 Truth Outside the Book is the climactic chapter where the storybook framing breaks, with the boss 闻声晓 (Wen Sheng Xiao)

2727 Playtime Estimates

2828

2929 Per launch-week Chinese community coverage:

3030

3131 discussion: "pure story content is about 30+ hours" and "story and map can be played for two weeks" (community self-reports, not official) full walkthrough series (BV17PD4BAE7K): 41 episodes totaling approximately 10 hours of recorded guided playthrough footageChuapp review: Wang Zhaojun's biography mission alone runs 30+ minutes

3232

3333 Tencent has not published an official total main-story playtime figure. Casual first-time completion likely lands in the 20 to 30+ hour range based on these community benchmarks. Earlier wiki drafts that claimed "10 chapters / 40 to 60 hours" were based on pre-launch speculation and have been corrected.

3434

3535 Chang'an and Post-Launch Regions

3636

3737 Chang'an and the Wu Clan storyline are NOT in the S0 launch content. The chapter listing contains zero Chang'an entries, and no launch-week coverage describes an in-game Chang'an quest. Chang'an is described in the game's broader lore (built by Mozi atop the Mecharium) but is reserved for future content. Similarly, the Great Wall / Northern Wilds region tied to Mulan, Kai, and Wang Zhaojun is lore-present but not a playable region at S0.

3939 Corrections From Earlier Drafts

4040

4141 This article previously contained fabricated claims that have been removed:

4242

4343 "Xin" as main antagonist / "Man-in-Black": 帝辛 (Di Xin) is a real character but functions as the Prologue tutorial boss only. He is not a recurring antagonist or a "Man-in-Black." No verified source describes an ongoing main villain for the S0 launch content."Yunyue" as mentor character: This name is fabricated. The actual canonical character is 云狌 (Yunsheng), which is a boss encounter in Chapter 12 "Stellar Awakening" (神纹云牲 / Divine Pattern Yunsheng) tied to Dongfang Yao's story arc. Yunsheng is an antagonist boss, not a mentor."10 chapters, 40 to 60 hours": Replaced with the verified 27-chapter walkthrough list and community playtime estimates of roughly 10 to 30+ hours.

4545 Liu Cixin Framing

4646

4747 Tencent announced a 2021 "inspiration co-creation" (灵感共创) partnership between Liu Cixin's short novel 《诗云》 (Poetry Cloud) and Honor of Kings: World. No launch-week source I could find confirms that Liu Cixin contributed specific S0 story beats, characters, or quests. The collaboration has been described throughout in thematic / inspirational terms rather than as direct story authorship. See Liu Cixin Collaboration for the verified scope.
