Touhou 4: Lotus Land Story MarisaA Lunatic Perfect 1CC [LNN No Miss No Bombs]

The gorgeous thumbnail artwork by CometSummoner98 on twitter! It goes ridiculously hard, they added way more detail than I asked for. It's easily the best commission I've ever gotten.

Can you believe I thought this would be done in April? Well, it definitely should've.
Once you learn the game, it becomes a matter of getting past the two Hikarikos and stage 5 rings. Assuming you're playing MarisaA, the only other part of the game that can be considered a runkiller is Reimu. Reimu will meme you sometimes, but you can get very consistent at her through practice and knowing the right reading windows.

While nothing after rings is particularly hard, the nerves you will face on the remainder of the game are brutal. I had a total of 6 runs that lost pace after rings. Each and every one of these credits should have been the LNN but died in really silly ways that would never have happened if I could just think straight. To add insult to injury, my first LNN past rings was in February, just one month after I began practice for this run. I had to live for 4 long months knowing that I could've already moved on from this game by now if I wasn't such a nervous wreck. And this entire time I was handling the grind very poorly. I never (willingly) took a break for longer than 2 days because I was so afraid of getting rusty. I didn't play many other games. I always used up my morning free time to play LLS instead of doing whatever it is I actually wanted, as mornings are when I play best. It sucks that I learned the hard way, but not taking the grind nearly as seriously is a very valuable lesson learned.

In the 1 miss that I uploaded, I estimated that I would be done by the end of April. I probably would've been done by then if it wasn't for a pesky botched wisdom teeth removal surgery, paired with not getting my prescribed medicine and completely unrelated sicknesses coming for me at the worst possible time!!!!! SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!

That's all the complaining I had pent up. If you have any questions about the run, I will read your comments. I also plan on making a video going over everything I know about LLS and MS survival to hopefully make life easier for any aspiring LNN clearers. Thank you to everyone who gave advice and kind words. I hope the remaining 3 pc98 games will be nicer, but I'm sure you can guess why I won't be going nearly as hard on any of the games.
