I do love when a story in a series makes you question a character's decisions/motivations/ect   from a previous entry, even if it's not flattering to said character.   A bit of the whole "from the other side of the looking glass" saying.   It's quite different when not in the context of the humor-driven, slice of life tone the first story was written in, with the new tone being a balance between the first's humor and the second's seriousness/drama.

Well, if there is one thing I'm liking so far about these CYOA stories (that relies on voting and reader input) is the discussions in-between the actual posts:

• Genuinely impressive write-in that honestly changed the course of the story significantly
• Breakdowns/discussions of which choice is the best to accomplish something  
• The essential route split of the second story basically devolving into something between a waifu war and a discussion over which character got better development.  that Keymaster almost decided to settle with a user submitted rap battle because of concerns over vote-spam
• And now very heated discussion over how justified the Main Character of the first story was to perform a certain action against the Main Character of the third story..........different tone and outlook really change things

Only four threads out of the twenty, I am loving this third/finale story so far.   I'm sad that this is the last story he wrote, with nothing else after 4 years.   Still, since I now only keep up with a handful of the fanfictions I followed over the years, I might look into more of these Touhou CYOA stories  and see if they appeal to me as much as Keymaster's stuff.
