>The first of these being the fact that in most stories, the protagonist is a male outsider who somehow manages to survive the ferals youkais.

I don't mind that much just because I give any story a few freebies if it's for the sake of getting the story rolling. What I hated is how the story became masturbatory really quickly. It's hard to point out specific things because I haven't read it in so long, but I remember one of the things I specifically hated being how Utsuho became some kind of fawning best friend within like ten updates, and the story as a whole made that transition to the usual "waifu" style of quest thread where the choices only serve to deepen a relationship with one of the female characters and result in sexings. I find that style of story very distasteful

I think the only touhou themed quest thread I ever actually enjoyed was A Wizard Is You. It was really fun to read because the protagonist was a Somebody, not just a nameless self insert. He was a high level Wizard from a d&d campaign. Some of my favorite chapters were where he'd remember some of his old adventuring buddies, one of which was killed in front of him by a mindflayer. In other words, he had a history (even if it was something that developed in play), a personality (influenced by voters, but ultimately a jackass yet genius wizard), and a goal (GET HOME!). He didn't just serve as a gateway between the reader and his waifus

I should catch up on it someday. I wonder how it turned out
