Gensokyo High

Lo, and listen, for I speak of the tale of the failings of the favourite site of this poor spokesman. I tell of the tale of cute if broken psuedo-loli vampires, viciously brutal psuedo-loli man-eaters, not-loli-at-all sickly mages, ridiculously underrated maids, stressed out writers and an unappeasable and unreasonable fan base. I tell of the tale of when route-faggotry goes too far.

This is the tragedy of Gensokyo High.

Like most tragedies, GH starts of tame. A new writer had appeared, providing much needed new blood to an increasingly growing stagnant site. This new reader was good. The story itself was rather simple, but there was nothing wrong with that. People said it was another coming of the Hungry Youkai (it wasn't so).

So, the story was going on at a nice pace. The protagonist had started developing an attraction to the certified-broken Flandre. An Rumia was added as an antagonist to make things interesting. Then she was defeated. And this, some say was the beginning of the end.
