It's a bit odd to see a touhou visual novel mimic the writing style of the main line games. For mainline touhou, a lot of the writing ends up being an excuse to string combat encounters back to back with eachother and allows a lot of conflicts to occur for the sake of gameplay. It was both novel and weird to see a writing format designed specifically to string combat encounters together be used in the absence of those very encounters. An odd and novel experience to say the least.
