The interest check for this project ran from March 1-15, 2021[3], and some data from the results was shared on on their Twitter afterwards. Mod applications for the project ran from March 7-19, 2021[4], while contributor applications ran from April 1 to May 1, 2021[5].

Three stretch goals were included in the project: an A5 print of the front cover art at 25%, a washi tape at 50%, and an enamel pin at 100%[7]. All stretch goals were unlocked by November 1, 2021[8], to be included in all physical orders.

For the first weekend of preorders, there was an early bird special that added a Kaeya primogem sticker to all physical orders[9]. There were also one-day discounts of 10% for Halloween[10] and Genshin Impact's anniversary[11], as well as a 20% discount for the final day of zine preorders, which was Kaeya's birthday (November 30)[12]. The zine Twitter account also ran four digital bundle giveaways and two full bundle giveaways over the course of preorders.
