TFW you read all of a CYOA story and see that the author worked on an alternate route/ending following the character you wanted to win the first vote.
The massive vote split that happened when the author made clear it was a route deciding vote had a mod to check for votespam and everything. Quite funny to read about years later.SpoilerI never thought I'd like CYOA stories, but I can see the appeal for some now. Or maybe it's just Keymaster's stories, even if I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as the first. I loved reading 'Being Meiling' a few months ago for it's slice-of-life nature and turning around the luck of one of Touhou's popular buttmonkies. I've honestly read it 3-4 times since the first read. I knew he had written others, but they didn't sound as appealing; finding out this was a related sequel had me read it ASAP with his last/third story ending out the series.
This one dropped the slice of life aspect and had an OC take the main character role----a better written OC than 95% of fanfiction I've read, but still not an often overlooked canon Character-----though with heavy canon support from other usually overlooked characters. Kind of fell apart some near the end, but this one only this author's second work-----learning experience I suppose. Maybe the alternate end will fix some things.
I might look at other CYOA Touhou stories on the site, even if most don't have the same Slice-of-Life appeal as 'Being Meiling' according to people who voted their when it was being written, though maybe that has changed since late 2013.
Took a break from farming
and probably making some poor decisonson Duel Links today, though I still kept looging in to auto-duel occasionally to auto-duel any NPCs/roamers. Did get a good bit of Marik and Arcana's drops, though still missing some major ones (Mask of Remains, Magical Stone excavation, Arkana's Dark Magician). You get everything you want from them already @Ojama Yellow?
