tl;dr version: WAAAAA WAI U LIEK 2HU WEN MUSHISEHIMESAMA AN DODONPACHI R JUS AZ BALLID?!?!?

In all seriousness, I suggested Touhou not because of the difficulty, but because of the worldbuilding in the series as a whole. ZUN put one HELL of a lot of effort into making Gensokyo ALONE. And that's not even all that exists in Touhou's verse! (proceeds to go on and on about Makai, the Outside World, Reimaden, the Moon, Hell, Heaven, etc.) He didn't just put effort into the games' stories, he also wrote a whole bunch of mangas and concept albums that expand on the verse. He also accepts fan-input occasionally. Honestly, I heard someone compare the efforts of this drunk one-man dev team with a nice hat to that of a certain racist writer remembered for more for his cosmic horror stories than anything else...
