I like how it was obvious from literally before the first chapter even came out that Kasen was going to be a secret Oni, but then the real twist was she was one of the Youkai Sages.

It even retroactively explains why Yukari would be friends with Suika.

It really does fit in perfectly. If the Four Devas of the Mountain were supposed to be a big thing, it'd make sense for one of them to be a Youkai Sage, a voice of authority in Gensokyo and probably responsible in part for the Barrier, (Do we even need to spoil this any more?) but Suika and Yuugi don't really fit that idea very well. If Kasen really is one of the Big Four, she'd fit the role perfectly. In retrospect, Yukari and Suika clearly met through Kasen.

An uncountable number, to be sure.

Other people are also involved in the process, so please thank them too.

Edit: Also, I can't recall if I've mentioned this here before, but in retrospect it's pretty clear that he was planning out WaHH's "plot" when he wrote PMiSS. A lot of the things it casually brings up are directly relevant here. Hermits, youkai sages, devas of the mountain, etc.

Her patron deity is the ultimate god of all Gensoukyo: Spirits.

It's like asking an old friend to remind you what his name is.

If the Shrine Maiden of the Hakurei Shrine doesn't know the name of her God then why would the spirits???

Hey man, don't diss the spirits. They were completely correct about everything, and Reimu should've just beat the Tengu up.

Visionary Fairies in Shrine 04! Which doesn't involve Halloween, but maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised anyway.

Actually, VFiS is a solo effort. Well, plus ZUN and Makoto Hirasaka and presumably all their editors and assistants. I do all the scans and translation stuff on my own anyway.

Also, this means Clownpiece was living under the shrine for a whole YEAR (or at least 9 months I forget how the first chapter went) before Reimu figured it out.

If I were Reimu, I too would probably not keep track of the three dozen fairies I shoot down every time I go to the grocery store.

I love that while Luna and/or Sunny were unnerved or scared, Star was just so excited to be seeing new things. Star would be a wonderful tourist if given enough locations to visit.

So uh, where should I look to read up on the story of the series? I figured there wasn't much to it because the games don't seem to have much talking, but reading Forbidden Scrollery there seems to be quite a lot of worldbuilding, and as much as I'd just play through the games I'm only making slow progress.
