Eastern Fantasyland

The author must have been familiar with the original work and often reads other people's remakes. I've wanted to see something like this for a long time, and the author has also added their own creative touches. Most importantly, they've perfectly integrated all the settings into the story. The author is amazing; my Touhou Project can live on forever. ε=ε=ε=(ﾉ*~㉨~)ﾉε=ε=ε=(ﾟ㉨ﾟﾉ)ﾉ(۶• ㉨ •)۶♡٩(• ㉨ •٩) ✧\\ ٩( '㉨' )و //✧

I've read this book four times already. Out of all my bookmarks, this is the only one I've downloaded; I only skim the others. This is the only one I've seriously read every single time. Because most of the fanfiction I've read so far is either about cross-dressing/gender-swapped characters or an invincible, brainless harem-building protagonist. As long as the male lead cooks something delicious, or is dressed in women's clothing, or offers the female lead a little help, the female leads all fall for him, and in the end, I don't even understand why they like him. But this book is different. While Yao is also invincible, he doesn't act like a harem protagonist who flaunts every girl he meets. Yao is a very principled person...

I don't know how I came across this book. I remember I was having a reading slump and didn't have anything good to read (at that time I was reading fantasy and cultivation novels), so I browsed the fanfiction section and found it, *Touhou Gensokyo*. That was a long time ago, and it's subtly different from the one I'm reading now. Most importantly, Haruka's iconic kiss is gone, which is a real shame. The novel has also been adapted; the first part was heavily modified, but the later parts were uploaded without much change, which has resulted in some plot inconsistencies. You can find them if you look carefully. The old version doesn't have these (duh! If the old version had them, they would have been...).

I haven't seen a first-person narrative in a long time. The male protagonist is powerful yet retains his arrogance and grace, and the lack of a romantic subplot was quite surprising. However, the touching moments are still there, and the characters are still likable. The character portrayals are very delicate. Perhaps due to limited information, some battle scenes are described a bit strangely. @Kazemi Yuuka incorporated many elements, like Bleach, but the writing gets better and better towards the end, becoming a very time-consuming and engaging read. Yes, engaging! I've read it at least 10 times, but the author has stopped updating, which is truly frustrating. Summary: A heartwarming masterpiece for when you're experiencing a reading slump or boredom.

I've been reading this book for several years now. The author had some issues and moved to SF (a Chinese online literature platform). Although I've only just finished transferring the old version, I believe you'll reach even greater heights. While reading, I might have forgotten about the book at times, focusing on life, but we'll meet again someday. I hope you can maintain that initial enthusiasm, both for me and for the author. Taking a break might be a good opportunity for you to grow. —A reader who happened to pass by

Previously, I always found Touhou fanfiction cold and impersonal, like it was all made up of puppets, completely adhering to the official settings without any changes, then adding strange elements on top of that, resulting in a slow but tedious narrative. But after reading this author's work, I feel that the Touhou characters aren't just limited to the official settings. In other words, they have flesh and blood, emotions, and they come alive, no longer just background characters or irrelevant figures. They're not just characters who would never change if they weren't based on the official settings. They're like real people appearing before me, interacting with me, and we...

Actually, I first read this novel almost four years ago. Back then, reading it as a fanfiction made it easier to remember the hundreds of names and backstories in Tohou. Initially, I was more interested in harem novels, but somehow this novel was recommended to me. At first, I thought the author had given up on writing it, but then I learned that he had completely revamped the novel's less-than-perfect parts. For example, in the original novel, Dongfang Yao initially gained local knowledge by kissing a shameless person. I must say, the author's writing is truly strong, and the original setting is very well done, without any contrived secondary interpretations. If you want to understand Dongfang...

Borrowing lyrics from Gensokyo: Flowers bloom in profusion. Fulfilling everyone's wishes, blossoming here. A picturesque scene unfolds here. Where dreams and reality intertwine. Simply frolic in Gensokyo (the Garden of Fantasy). Some have conquered the sky. Some have exorcised the strange. A group of children dream of them. Let fairy tales accompany their ears. Build their imaginations within. A living fantasy is there. In this vast world, all beautiful things inevitably exist within the bustling children's play.

Well, how should I put it—this novel? In my eyes, it's a very interesting novel. It's captivating, yet leaves room for reflection; it's enchanting, and then, it either moves you or brings a knowing smile. It's a very good Touhou fanfic—at least in my opinion. Although I'm only a newcomer to the Touhou fandom (mainly because I'm poor), it's enough to touch my heart—and it truly is—I've read it so many times (at least five times so far), and each time I have different thoughts. I need this level of reading comprehension for exams…relying on reading comprehension questions…

Hmm... It's pretty good for a Touhou fanfiction. The setting is good, so I wanted to see the protagonist's powerful self ultimately achieving enlightenment, not just repetitive daily life. Some might disagree, saying this is Touhou fanfiction and not a cultivation or godhood story, but here's my impression: the beginning was quite good (in my opinion), but gradually it started to get boring. The constant daily routines became tedious. Although it's a slice-of-life story, the high degree of repetition became tiresome. I suggest the author occasionally interweave some backstory about the protagonist, such as his enemies in the vast world, or...
