Do you think the traveler canonically spends at least one year in each nation or will the story end in just a few months canonically when it's finally complete?

Knowing they are finding their sibling, it would be kind of weird that they would spend a whole year in a nation. This popped into my head when thinking about the new players who are joining nowadays. Since they missed all the events, their story will progress quicker and end soon. Unless hoyo reveals that alternative universes do exist in this game.

Schrödinger's Traveler. A lot of time has passed when you play a nation and at the same time the world feels like no time has passed at all.

Well they do say teyvat has its own laws

They stopped actively looking for their sibling a long time ago. The new goal is to travel and experience all of Teyvat before they meet again.

According to the lore, we spent a month in Meropide

dont think its a whole year, but atleast a considerable amount of time/a few months. lantern rites canonize that years do pass, and we do not enter a singular new region exclusively in the span between the festivities.

It's mentioned once that a significant amount of time has passed, and Traveler doing dailies and odds and ends for everyone \*is\* canon.
So yeah, the implication is that Traveler spends several years exploring Teyvat. Of course, we won't get an exact acknowledgement of how long since we'll never see Klee (or any of the younger characters) grow up, but we do get an acknowledgement of the passage of time that elapsed when appropriate.

There's also a LOT of stuff the game skims over that canonically happens; namely Traveler and Paimon sleeping in the wild or in the Teapot, cooking in the wild, etc. It just gets glossed over in 90% of the cases because what you do in gameplay is mostly a microcosm of the "most interesting" part of the Traveler's life.

The Traveler has not been looking for their sibling actively since Liyue. While they still are looking for more information about them and the past, it is no longer an urgent goal like it was before they met for the first time.

We have canonically been to every Lantern Rite, so that marks a year every time it happens.

The timeline is scuffed. Like, it barely makes sense.

The Jade Palace being rebuilt can happen before or after the Inazuma trip, and if before, you have to wonder why Traveler is even still in Liyue at that point.

Going from one particular town to another is sometimes instantaneous, sometimes an afternoon walk, and sometimes a multi-day endeavour.

And stuff like this is all over the game.

But perhaps most noticeable of all: Characters mention how years have passed, and we go to Lantern Rite 'each year', but the children never age.
