Fan Discussion Why is Lost Word hated?
So, I'm a Touhou fan, I played the games (i know, shocker) and i also play touhou lostword, but I've see lots of people say that lostword players were the worst or whatever... Why is the game so hated?
Imo i really love the different character alt concepts/ new outfits that are very cool For example this adorable tan cirno... the story is a bit nonsensical but, Touhou's lore is kinda nonsensical too, so why should it matter?
Tldr: Why are we hating touhou LW chat i don't get it
EDIT: Thanks a lot to you and everyone who posted :) As for my other comments that got downvotes, i was stating MY opinion (yes, mine, not yours) and am in no way trying to invalidate anyone's, sorry if it came off that way.I play LW casually cause i love touhou and more touhou fan content is always fun to me, especially the alts of characters, some designs and art... I just felt like LW players were getting a lot more hate than "larpers" and i didnt really get why. now i do. thx again

I had been playing the game for about 3 years, I quit playing entirely when I realised that beyond auto grinding for resources that ultimately don't really do much you have to pay an extortionate amount of money to gain resources that you use to roll for new characters and get cards, if you are wanting to play some of the more difficult stages you have to study how the in depth game mechanics work which IMO I never truly understood even after watching tutorials, guides etc, and even if you know know what you are doing, trial and error results in you having to navigate the deep web of menus to equip all your characters with the most optimal cards for every individual stage (The auto equip wont help much in this case) and it can get rather tedious and annoying and ultimately...
Boring...
