Whoops! Looks like the previous one is finally on autosage. Here's to another five years, I guess.
Let's not actually take five years, though it's most probable at this point.
Might as well take this opportunity to repeat my recommendation for From the Scarlet Moon Flows the Spring and add that Clever, Audacious, and Wise -- and most of Teruyo's stuff from the past couple of years, really -- is worth a read.

I think a lot of that comes down to how people voted. Readers seem more interested in dealing with the mystery of being a stone than the actual work at the SDM and possible reasons why a werewolf would bother. There's still a fair amount of story ahead, however. So who knows what may yet happen. While I don't agree with some of your conclusions, I think there's still room to explore.

I would recommend PCB, LoLK, or WBaWC to start and you can find any of the games here:
https://moriyashrine.org/files/category/4-games/
The acronyms are for the English parts of the titles. PCB is a very standard game, LoLK is difficult but has a default crutch mode, and WBaWC is the current latest and quite fun. Once you have your sea legs, I'd recommend playing in order, including the side games, starting from EoSD. Don't worry about beating any of them, if you get frustrated moving on is fine. Recommendation: use your bombs.

Not really the thread for this, but since we're here I'd recommend
DDC for its straightforward arcade-iness. It's all relatively easy -- save the stage five gimmicks. I'd also put forward
HSiFS in a similar light, but with the caveat that it's a bit mean in terms of having bullets that can be hard to see at times. Same deal with
WBaWC.
If you need more info on the games or, well, most other things, I'd recommend consulting Touhouwiki:

Play on lunatic for about an hour or so to get a feel for the deathbomb timing, then switch to normal.
Normal takes about 3 months to 1cc
After that, hard will be about 2 weeks
Then finally lunatic after about 3 weeks after that.

I'd like to recommend A (Lion-)Dog Among Gods
>>/youkai/31590
It might not be the fastest story but it's a really cute protagonist and interesting portrayals of characters. I hope to see more of it soon.

I only learned of this site a couple weeks back (first time posting too), but I've already barrelled through the works from Keymaster. Being Meiling alone is a very fun read all around, can recommend.

1. sage goes in the option field
2. there's really no reason to sage anymore due to the low level of activity; just bump and screw any grognards who want to have words about it
More on-topic: I liked The Beast and the Crime and wish it had an ending.

Finished reading one of the stories here and I have to say I discovered a taste for mystery.
By that I mean detective work or film noir stuff.
Forgot the names but saw 2 of those a week ago and would like to refind them so I can use them for inspiration and maybe even make a story too!
If anything I just said makes sense then I'd love your help finding them again.

Think you're gonna have to be a little more specific about the contents of those stories before anyone's gonna be inclined to help, mate. Don't think anyone wants to play twenty questions.
>sage
Definitely don't do this if you want a response because I doubt many have this thread watched, and that's all who'll see it if you don't bump.

Fair enough that's my bad.
So to specify I meant stories like Compensation: Adequate (
https://www.touhou-project.com/th/res/124133.html ) ; Those Cirnoir moments in MIG and uuh kind of on a blank here
Basically an detective figuring out a mystery/murder or anything close to that
As long as the story has some unknown culprit that needs to be found out it's fine by me.
Those pi self monologues are optional (
"Bradbury was right... there's bad and there's bad. But what I walked into when I left that night made all the magic and witchcraft I'd seen up 'til then look like a sideshow. My name's Lovecraft... and I'm the guy who knows. Just about the only guy who knows it all... who's still breathing. It started that night and it started with a woman. It always starts with a woman." for example).
Also sorry I didn't know what sage does and won't make that mistake again.

There's two stories tagged as "noir" in the story list, maybe start looking at those?
I wrote one of them and I think it more or less fits the bill. The tagging is pretty incomplete in general so there's probably more stories.

I don't know if its noir, but City of Harsh Fantasies over in /others/ has a detective as the main character. I think the story is dead though.

Yello, Fellow Anons I need your aid!
I was looking for a story just yesterday but forgot the name of it! please help.
The premise was as follows irc: Some mad conspiracy theorist ends up in Gensokyo and somehow spreads his bs logic to our fellow 2hus while almost definitly leaving destruction behind every location he goes to. it was the weirdest thing I've ever read.
The theory was something there are actually 4 Hours going on at once instead of 1. Educator Stupid!
Think it was on the forest or underground board.
If it rings a bell to anyone, I'll gladly hear it.

GENSOKYO CUBE by Riker
For some reason, cross-board linking isn't working with that particular thread, so just search the story list.
Incidentally, I think you mean IIRC for "If I Remember Correctly"; IRC is "Internet Relay Chat".

Hey, jabroni, if you've got time to look at this thread, read
The Beast and the Crime (
>>/th/201720). It's got all of the food groups: gangsters, religion, sex, and faerie sidekicks. Plus, it just fuckin' updated! And it's almost over! Don't you wanna participate in a current story that has a chance of finishing? Of fuckin' course, you do. Now, get reading if you haven't already.

There's like three different attempts at "Super Robot Wars but it's 2hu" I could find from a lazy search (literally just searched "wars") of the storylist. You're on your own for others.

Cirno makes herself a mech out of ice in Being Meiling. It’s only a subplot though.
