In Gensokyo, Everything I Say Gets Believed. I Feel Like Throwing Up

I think Lin must be speechless. How did Reimu manage to completely misunderstand his meaning? Reimu: What exactly do you want to do? Lin: Reimu, I don't understand... (Is Reimu still angry with me? But I was really forced to come here by Sakuya. I didn't want to go to the Ryugu Palace either. I was forced to.) Reimu: (Why... Why won't you tell the truth now? Is... This really so hard to talk about?) What is your purpose? Reimu: Maintaining the Great Barrier is my duty. Leave everything to me. Why do you keep getting involved in such dangerous things?! (Rin, please stop doing this.) Lin: (So Reimu is still angry with me? After all, I caused her so much trouble, she must hate me, right? I... I still want to know, we should still be friends, right...?) Reimu, we're friends, aren't we? (I really don't want to lose you as a friend.) Reimu: ... (At that moment, his eyes no longer held the confusion and timidity of before, nor the resolute confidence he displayed in the bamboo forest. Instead, I saw longing, sorrow, hope, and a hint of helplessness.) Of course we are... Friends. (Reimu, so all you've done is for me? But, is it really necessary to go to this extent? Is it worth risking your life for this? You clearly...) Then Reimu turned and left. Lin: Reimu... (Sigh, as expected, I'm still... What kind of "divine calculation and cunning" am I? I can't even catch up with my own friend.) Lin turned around and sighed softly, as if mocking himself. Reimu: Rin... (Was he sighing about something just now? Was he sighing because I didn't understand anything, or was he sighing because he was a fool who would do anything for me? Why did he go to such lengths?) I feel that, given Reimu's thought process, even if Rin says, "I'm just afraid of losing you as a friend," Reimu will interpret it as, "I'm willing to do anything for you as a friend" (you know what I mean). Also, Rin sometimes says things that are ambiguous and easy to misunderstand. Chie, Sakuya, Seija, and Reimu are all like this. I feel that both sides are quite helpless in this kind of cross-server chat.

Lin now feels that he should change partners after each incident. Aphid Incident: Marisa Gold Coin Incident: Nazrin The Sake Incident: Marisa and Shemeimaru A Journey to Hell: The Haworthia cooperi The Mystery of the Machine Bullet: Nue the Beast, Tatara Kogasa A wonderful holiday? : Tatara Kogasa, Sakuya A Visit to the Dragon Palace: Eiga Iku It seems like Reimu and Rin are really at odds. As Rin comes into contact with more and more people, Reimu's involvement in the events decreases. #(So sad) Now it feels like Reimu is just overthinking things, which is why she hasn't had a single effective conversation with Rin. Rin is almost getting along well with Aya, Kaname, and Nazreen, but Reimu's progress is still zero. #(You know what I mean)

To whom It May Concern: It has been ten days and an hour since you last stopped writing. Whenever I think of the unresolved matter at the end of the chapter, my heart feels as if it is being scratched by a hundred claws. I toss and turn in thought, unable to sleep or wake up. I often look at the screen between dawn and dusk, hoping to see traces of new work, but all I see are old scrolls, leaving me feeling disappointed. The characters in the book, whether facing perilous situations or emotional turmoil, are all in critical moments. Like a lone boat encountering raging waves or a valiant warrior facing a formidable enemy, the ups and downs of their fates and the entanglements of their emotions linger in the reader's mind. We pondered this day and night, even writing sequels in our dreams, but ultimately, none could match your masterful pen and capture its exquisite beauty. I am well aware of the difficulty of writing, and every word and phrase is carefully chosen, requiring painstaking effort. Yet this story is like fine wine nearing its culmination, the arrow ready to be released, and everyone eagerly awaits its next chapter! If you would not hesitate to spare the time to write, allowing the sequel to see the light of day, we would be most fortunate. We are willing to serve you faithfully, praying for your literary brilliance, that your pen may flow like pearls, and that you may create another magnificent work! Please take care.

Lin seems to have represented the country twice already – on the trip to Hell and the Dragon Palace (you know what I mean). He's practically become a diplomat!

Why is this happening to Touhou fanfiction? #(Crying) Is it really going to die out? #(Crying)

I'm becoming increasingly curious about Lin's past and the outside world. If Lin was a deity known as the "Divine Calculator" in the past, why is he now a timid and introverted human, yet still possessing his abilities and not having lost his divine power? Why does he have no memory of his past normally, but can remember everything under the blessing of faith? The mysteries surrounding Lin are multiplying. I feel that Lin might be the type of deity whose later fate is neither entirely good nor bad: he neither fully displays his divine power in the Gensokyo environment nor is he forgotten, loses his divine power, or even disappears from the world like Ame-no-Yumi Chihiro. Perhaps Lin's fate was either unavoidable or intentional.

The latest chapter feels like the villains were really tricked; they not only worked for others but also ended up getting themselves killed.

It's beautiful, but so obscure; you have to scroll down the Gensokyo tag for ages to find it...

From an outsider's perspective, Lin's actions seemed absolutely amazing. #(Laughs) Send Sasha to retrieve the sunflower, then deliberately break it in front of Yuuka in the Human Village to provoke her and scare away the monsters, causing them to voluntarily leave (by the time Byakuren actively asked the monsters to leave, it felt too late). Then, during Reimu and Yuuka's battle, land and use yourself as bait to lure them into the Human Village. Have a backup plan in the Magic Forest, allowing Yuuka to calm down and exchange information. Upon returning to the Human Village, decisively avoid speaking with the head of the Abe family. Lin thwarted what seemed like a meticulously planned scheme with just one move, achieving two goals at once. To outsiders, it's truly terrifying upon closer inspection. #(Haha) By the way, Lin's stance on the relationship between humans and yokai was already made clear when he faced Yuuka. He's a proponent of coexistence, just like Reimu and Sasa, a maintainer of order and a balancer in Gensokyo. He helps whoever is weaker. It feels like Yukari and Modora will only value Lin more and more in the future. #(You know what I mean)

So how did the protagonist get in? There doesn't seem to be any clear information, only that the protagonist had friends outside. 🤔
