Also another bad thing in the second build is you straight up rush executioner after boots/devo's which isn't really necessary.
Not sure why you have heavenly wings listed as a relic...
Pesti, Sov, are items you would never build on Hou Yi. If you need antiheal you get toxic blade or brawlers.
Add Mantle, Magi's cloak and winged blade as situationals.
Yet your Fail-Not crit build has executioner at fourth item which conflicts with your statement.
and I think Fail-Not is just too good to pass up
Like literally almost every high level/pro player gets Odysseus' Bow third before The Executioner when going the devourers qins route build. Unless you're looking for very early gold furies then I don't see the point in Exe third over O-Bow, since you're not going to be fighting the support, you're going to mainly be farming in lane, possibly looking to 1vs1 the enemy carry.
you can get Odysseus' Bow when its 1v1 all the way but generally the support sticks around by the time he goes your ready to buy Odysseus' Bow it really depends on the situation.
You don't really need Asi that early before qins when you have Devourers for lifesteal. I think it's better if the choice for 6th item is Asi versus Titan's , selling boots for the one you didn't get (my preference would be sell boots for asi since you're not really having to trade out attack speed as your boots replacement if you get asi, as opposed to Titan's where you lose attack speed so it feels a bit... off).
if you replace boots with Titan's Bane and Asi 6th item then the atk speed is already taking effect
