No. 13717>>13710 here.
Forgot to mention Favors Owed. I really wasn't a fan going in with some of the liberties the writer takes, but I can't put it down now.
Also, I'll never not recommend The Game because anyone who hasn't read it yet should.
No. 13931
'Priest of Hakurei' is an interesting story about a priest of the outside counterpart of the Hakurei Shrine.
ATM is at a nice spot, with him being finally inside Gensoyko and all.
Recommendable. Go vote:
http://www.touhou-project.com/border/res/29716.html No. 14107>>14105>a tenshi storyDo the Right Thing has Tenshi join the party fairly early on. It's long and updates sporadically.
Tenshi is in This Story is mostly a Satori story but has Tenshi show up in the last couple of threads. Completed and has sequels;
Your Love, PleaseSatori is in This Short StorySan is in This StoryThere was some Tenshi in
Your Love, Please as well.
Heads up in /shrine/ had her show up for a third of a thread.
Peach Tree that Bore Fruit is short and incomplete, but has Tenshi as a protagonist. Last update was back in 2011.
Theater of Youth is a high school AU, with Tenshi being one of the main love interests.
splICEd is a cyberpunk AU with Tenshi as the protagonist. Short and incomplete.
Those are the only ones I can remember at the moment.
No. 14115>>14114Parsee has a route in Pleasant Meadows, although it comes
after the first route's ending because of how heavily the waifu lock vote was contested.
Also, I never read Kiss Me, so I don't know how much she factors into it, but I
think she plays a major part in that too?
No. 14116>>14115>Also, I never read Kiss Me, so I don't know how much she factors into it, but I think she plays a major part in that too?Yep.
>Pleasant Meadows>Kiss MeAnd they're both completed too!
>>14114Do the Right Thing has a lot of Parsee once you reach the Underground arc. As I said before, it's long and updates sporadically.
Spirit of the Underground Youkai is short and incomplete with three threads and a Parsee route. The writefag wasn't happy with how it turned out and cancelled the playthrough.
Deeper Underground has some Parsee near the beginning but the writefag disappeared before we met her again. Incomplete. Last update was in 2009.
Winging It in the Underground is a short and incomplete IRC CYOA with a focus on Parsee. Last update was in 2009.
Along with the ones
>>14115 mentioned, these are the only stories I can remember with significant Parsee, at least on THP.
No. 14130>>14129An Excuse for Aya is the story that inspired the story you mentioned. Incomplete and the last update was six months ago.
Border House: Welcome to the Outside Incomplete and the last update was in 2011.
The Landlord of Mayohiga Incomplete and the last update was in 2010.
Touhou: Taste the Rainbow / Graze the Rainbow Incomplete and last update was in 2009.

Tenshi is in This Story and it's sequels focus on Satori:
Your Love, PleaseSatori is in This Short StorySan is in This StoryOther than that there are several old, unfinished and dead stories in /underground/ focusing on her but since it's been so long I can't remember which ones. The ones I can remember are:
Dead EnterpriseKindred Inalterable DependencyDreaming of Obsession/underground/ is the smallest board with only seven pages worth of stories to sift through, so it shouldn't be too hard for you to find the rest if you want to.

No. 14179>>14178Antagonist Remi is okay if it's executed right, but that's not what I was looking for. I was thinking of things more along the lines of SDM:LA or Scarlet Tycoon's Remi.
Basically a Remi that isn't evil chess-master, but one that's nice. Well,
"nice". Gensokyo Supa Quest had a Remi like the one I'm looking for.
No. 14180>>14179Well, Remilia isn't the main focus in Being Meiling, but when she
does show up she's indeed nice. It's been some time since I read it, though, so I'm not entirely sure
how much she features in it, but she's still important. Besides that, I never finished A Fairy's Tale, but from what little I remember seeing Remilia in that she was also generally benevolent? Again, not sure how much she actually shows up in it.
Sorry I can't really offer you anything concrete, anon.
No. 14181>>14177Excuse my faggotry, but I'm pretty sure the
only long running fic that's still alive is DtRT. Animating Gensokyo or whatever that's called might also be old? I don't remember and I'm too lazy to go back to the homepage to look.

I've been thinking about Kagerou a lot recently. Getting an itch to write about her, even. Are there any writefags faster than I, who've done it already? Failing that, are there any stories focusing on DDCs who aren't stage 5 or 6?
No. 14329>>14327There are no stories focusing on Kagerou specifically to wit; Wakasagihime seems to be similarly lacking in stories. Sekibanki has Heads Up and Paper Football Days plus those couple of stories on /shorts/. I'm sure there was an /at/ something or another too, but I can't be arsed to find it.

>Heads UpGave the /shorts/ one a try. I liked Rinnosuke's bit most of all, oddly. Maybe for how it felt like a CoLA chapter. Going to try the /shrine/ one as well, in the evening. Cheers, bossu.
>those couple of stories on /shorts/I wrote those. So you know my situation.>>14328Screw that. I'm not a competitive soul. I work on my own terms. And my terms say I don't write unless I've got a full idea for a story in my head, which I currently don't. Which is why I was looking to
read one. Damnation.
Oh, just so this doesn't become a useless post, I'd like to back up
>>13719 and recommend An Excuse For An Excuse for Aya (An Excuse For Who Again?). It's an amazing little piece of wish fulfilment which doesn't feel like wish fulfilment thanks to the hilarious, snark-arse, male tsundere MC. Maybe the first "ye 2hu wakes up in the Outside World, what do" story on THP I read without my eyebrows twitching with second-hand shame, and I've been following this site for years. Go read it. Then bother the author to bloody update already. You and I both need more of that shit.
No. 14486
ACUTIE, a.k.a. A Cultured Utopia Tantamount In Excellence, is my choice for today. Not only it is the second best acronym CYOA, just after TITS, but is also a train wreck and completely unplanned story that managed to make a good MC, have good characterizations, an interesting approach (Magic isn't real, but a cult that believes it is isolated themselves in a town called "Gensokyo") and excellent plot twists that, despite being born of April's fools updates, have foreshadowing and make perfect sense.
The only part I didn't like is that, at some pivotal points, the author timeskipped ahead for no reason at all. What the fuck.
Anyway, I'll give it 8 brass knuckles out of 10
No. 14946>>14943There's "Hakugyokuro LA" (MC & Yuyuko), "Orin's Little Visit" and "Momizi's Little Visit" (Focusing on Orin and Momiji respectively). All of them are completed.
There's "That Sanae Story in /Youkai/" focusing on Sanae, although it stopped before it got anywhere, and also "Theater of Youth" where it has multiple love interests if you don't mind that.
There's definitely more of these stories that focus a lot on character relationships but these are all off the top of my head.
No. 14966 Sariel is one if the most underappreciated 2hus. She barely appeared in border house and in one of those small, old, stories that barely reach the second thread.
That said, Mai appeared and may soon star and arc in that Monster Musume story. Be warned that it updates as 'often' as Priest of Hakurei. Then again, both have really good quality. Maybe you really can't rush talent.
Someone should tell the writer of Shadowmaiden that, though, he updated like there was no tomorrow.
Moving on, City of harsh fantasies is getting better each update. And Eastern Tale is pretty good, but has like three readers. Same with Otherwise, but that has the hard votes and slow updated to blame, I think.
Lost Bees has been pretty slow going lately, but hopefully that'll change soon.
Also, change this thread's title to requests/recommendations. We certainly do a lot of the former more than the later. It isn't a bad thing though.

>>15035Already read those. Highly recommend the latter to anyone who likes grimdark.
>>15036I didn't say anything about bookworm romance, but if that's your itch then surely Patchouli has seen a route or two by now? If she hasn't, something must be wrong with the world.
Anyway, CTRL+Fing around in stuff I have read turned up brief appearances in Landlord of Mayohiga, Flight of the Lost Soul and the Winter Contest short Under That Lake of Ice. She's also the protagonist of the AU story Metropolitan, which didn't last long either.
Not even much to re-read...
No. 15306>>15304"Kurodani Yamame Has no Gods," in which a Tsukumogami and a human tries to understand each other better, slowly gaining trust and love.
"Cage of Illusion," in which a shrine maiden of misfortune tries to find her mother, accompanied by a child of Miare.
"Shoot for the Moon." The moonbunnies, after LoLK.
"City of Harsh Fantasies," in which a Private Investigator had to solve mysteries in a semi-contemporary version of Gensokyo, while dealing with his own inner devils. At least he have Mori(ya).
"Don't Call Me a Glutton," in which a Wolf Tengu patrolwoman deals with daily annoyances in the frontier town Amaden, where humans, kappas, and tengu (uneasily) interacts, trades, and such.
"Heads Up!," in which our favorite umbrella enjoys her days.
"Forest Mix," in which an outsider woke up in Gensokyo! Adventure awaits!
not. It's a cute slice of life, where a chick with incomprehensible way of talking mooch off Rinnosuke.
"Watch Your Step," in which an amnesiac blind man tries to recover his memories, accompanied by a strangely familiar dullahan...
No. 15362>>15361I'm still hoping beyond logic that Alice is actually alive and well in that vault.
Yandere Alice hurts me mentally (and otherwise) Maybe it was for the best that it ended there.
Now read superstitious and cowardly lot, Paling something something and THE GAME.
The last one is the only one finished, but it will make you pay for it.
No. 15364>>15362I've read all three of those already. Superstitious and Cowardly Lot was my introduction to THP, and I read THE GAME while suicidally depressed for medical reasons, which gave it a
fuckton more punch. (I really don't recommend it though.)
I'd add Metropolitan, Renko's Adventure and maybe Border House for anyone looking for more grim/gritty modern-day stories. Maybe Creeping Shadows if you like high fantasy too. Fair warning though, all of them are dead.
City of Harsh Fantasies isn't quite as dark, more of a hardboiled detective story, but it's very good and still active so go check it out if you haven't already.
>>15363Amen.
No. 15374>>15370That depends on how you define 'real god things'.
If we're talking like "being Greek pantheon level douches", then
technically there's some of that at the tail end of The Game.Other than that, can't say much of anything sticks out. Might be time to exercise the old Blue Ocean Strategy, if you know what I mean.
No. 15386>>15382Some of the later (actual porn) bits of The Beast Returns to Gensokyo are reasonably okay. The earlier stuff is pretty rough, and some of it is, uh... well, a little weird at times. But the writer mellowed out on that after a while. The bit with Shizuha is still one of my favorites. It helps that a lot of the non-porn parts of story are pretty entertaining too.
Too bad there really isn't that much
good in /at/. Nothing I can remember, anyway.
No. 15391>>15383>>15384>>15385>>15386> Mind the GapMade it about halfway through the first thread before the urge to barf became unbearable. Unless it changes radically and rapidly, it's an example of exactly what I

Okay... two things here. One, what actual the fuck am I reading. Two, why do I recognise Star egging the MC in thread 1? I'm sure I've never seen anything else before, and yet...

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.
No. 15395>>1538248 Paizuri Techniques. If you're into the fetish, it's a masterpiece. If you aren't, it's still very good. It's a semi-continuous series of shorts, so even if you want to read just one character's part, you aren't missing a lot of context.
I will
never live down Yamame losing the last few votes. How did that happen?
No. 15400>>15397I can tell some good stories. Please note that of course it's all based on personal tastes, and such.
1 - "Expectations of Sanguine Disorder": classic, it gets better as you go on.
2 - "Hakugyokuro LA": second classic, have to read it.
3 - "SCIENCE!": kappas, kappas everywhere.
4 - "(Un)Gratefully Doing It Yourself" that later becomes "God Damnit Yukari!": ongoing, reverse-logic base plot (not gonna tell what, go read it), funny and entertaining.
5 - "I, Youkai / Phobe's Outing": well done OC, for once. Really.
6 - "Favors Owed": poor little rabbit.
7 - Anything written by "Keymaster", really. All his 3 stories are amazing. Read them in order of publication/writing!
8 - "A Fairy's Tale" and "AFT: Small Tales & Tall Tales" - unique views on certain characters, really nice.
9 - "The Magician’s Apprentice Exchanged Cups with an Oni": ongoing, it's just great.
10 - "Restorer in Gensokyo": another good OC. Yes it is possible.
11 - "Marisa's Magical Misadventure": ongoing, nice. Nothing much to say, it does its job well.
12 - "A Scarlet-Stained Memoir": here some SDM characters are really interesting. Unique.
13 - "Heads Up!": ongoing, follows Kogasa around Gensokyo. Light-hearted, fun. I like it a lot.
And now for the stalled ones. These are good, but sadly not complete. They may pick up again though, there is always hope.
1 - "Fairy on Scarlet Lake": great story. Amazing romance too. An absolute must.
2 - "Little Soldier Lost": Eientei scene, mixed with soldier. Nice.
3 - "Touhouvania": I think the name says it all.
4 - "Fallout Gensokyo": easily one of the best stories here. Period.
5 - "Seven Sensual Sirens": Yukari fooling around, just in a less mainstream way.
So yeah hope this helped.
No. 15573>>155722011? Seriously? So right around the time the Secret Green Board died for our sins and before the advent of THP Jesus.
Assuming you meant you were still reading stuff up until 2017, Definitely catch up on Forest Mix(which just updated a few minutes ago by the way), Scarlet Tycoon and Heads Up!.
If you're looking for good new stories since 2017, I'm not sure what to tell ya. There were some stories that started off amazing, but ended up dying after the author either went MIA or psycho.
No. 15576>>15575What this dude said.
Going back a bit further, YAF snuck in another masterpiece, "Kurodani Yamame Has No Gods", which you can find over at
>>/underground/14818, Raftclans popped up with a detective story called "City of Harsh Fantasies" at

>>15581Sekihead juggler here.
Wham, Bam, KuroYam does mostly away with the snark, save one rather minor character and Satori, who appears around the last third of the story. It’s the same Satori, however, and
KuroYam has… let’s say
references to
Tenshi is in This Story. So, if I had to recommend it, I’d recommend reading it after TiiTS and its sequel. Otherwise, some things may feel… abrupt.
It was a bit of a stupid move in retrospect, but with so many heads to handle, one is bound to break a neck or two.
No. 15748
>>15744Here, I can't believe I forgot 'Make a Fist'!
It escapes every single recurrent problem of this site's stories.
The story actually moves forward at a decent pace, the star is an uncommon, underrated Touhoe, choices matter, there's character development but without overriding MC's nature, we change the game's status quo... A thoroughly enjoyable read.
It's ending too! Or, at least, we are about to accomplish the main objective.
