Nah, fuck that. FT was an idiot who did everything wrong, from attacking Kosuzu in broad daylight to turning around and directly insulting Reimu to her face instead of getting away. Most of all, he didn't even try to invoke Spell Card rules. He was a clueless moron through and through, not to mention a fucking yook.

Write them yourself and open up a rival book renter that specializes in the most soul-crushing, dramatic stories and recollections imaginable. This will naturally set you off into a slow-burn 'opposites attract' romance with Kosuzu.

The 18+ section is just the romance books Reimu reads, that's as suggestive as she's willing to even hold.

You mean the one Mamizou keeps trying to sneak into the "non-fiction" section? It's self-published, it doesn't count.

>>51018308
Hey, isn't a story like that the best way to teach people not to be mean to youkai?
>>
>>51018473
I reckon it'd just be seen as fetishistic content, sort of like how dark romance isn't something you're normally meant to replicate in reality, just enjoy in theory.
There would definitely be villagers into that sort of stuff, but I imagine they'd try to keep it to themselves if possible and only talk about it to their fellow youkai fuckers.
>>
>>51018282
Oh there are plenty of such stories, though most of them are written by the tengu.

>>51018582

Just one fooled reader is enough to spread heinous ideas and push for indecent, dangerous behavior, which is why several authors (supposed to be writing under aliases) have had to be banned from Suzunaan. It has practically gotten to the point of ideological warfare, with well crafted systems of innocent humans being bribed with food and gifts in exchange for said humans to sell the books under their name. And just like that, "The mortal who tamed wind" is on the shelves, with an equally foggy back cover description.
Open the book, and wow, to everyone's surprise, it's a few hundred pages of smut featuring a female protagonist with a savior complex experiencing forbidden love with, you guessed it, a human, who is oh so miserable and down on his luck, for his world is oh so underdeveloped compared to this "society that shall not be named" and the girls in his village are apparently neither attractive nor interested in him in any way. Who could have guessed?

Describing it as "ideological warfare" is a bit intense yeah? It's just some harmless books. No reason to restrict them so much. Or are you scared of what effect it would have if everyone were to read the truth?

Truly. People these days are really into the kink of saying anything that is against what they believe, or would cause uprising against said beliefs, horrible and disgusting.

>>51018615
They're always "based on a true story", the true being that they were once within five hundred shaku of a human, and the story being everything else.
It's cheap smut consumed exclusively by virgins.

The actual interspecies genre in the Human Village is dominated entirely by light novels with fairy harems, anyway. They can't ever print enough to keep up with demand. They're considered safe and unthreatening, and the relationships never progress to the point of actual sex, so it's considered appropriate entertainment for everyone, barring a few (loud) detractors.

I wish there were more stories focusing on only one fairy with sex and marriage included. Sadly, I am only one man and the village does not take kindly to my odd tastes...
>>
>>51018925
Interspecies is proof of the damage degenerate outsiders had caused to our society, ever since more and more of their kind started popping up. Those people are so addicted to the immoral and prohibited that that not even the normalities of life can satiate them anymore, and so they resort to life-threatening bestiality to quench their animal lust.
I'll excuse myself now, my horned girlfriend wants to talk to me about something (before you assume anything, she's not a youkai- the horns are just birth defects, she said).
>>
>>51019061
You say that. But the gene pool issue has gotten so bad your girlfriend has a HORN on her head! Maybe a tumor or an overgrown bone. I feel like with birth defects like that SOME outsiders are needed.
>>
>>51018961
Onaholes aren't meant for marriage, faggot.
>>51019061
It's just a bunch of harmless fantasy, dude. Let kids enjoy a world in which they can be the hero and make lots of friends and can leave the responsibilities of life behind for a little while.
Fairies don't count as bestiality, either. They're just part of nature, like sex toys basically. It's just masturbation.
You really need to calm down, Mr. I'm Too Stupid To Realize I'm Fucking An Unicorn.

Cut them some slack, the market is bad enough as is.
Write about a youkai raping a human and no one will bother giving your work a passing glance, but let a human do the same and it's suddenly "innovative" and "bold and thought provoking".
>>
>>51020121
Maybe if it wasn't so obvious that the authors have never even seen a real penis.
The amount of times I've seen them described as "spiked", "multilayered", or "prehensile" is enough to convince you that this crap isn't even worth using as toilet paper. It's a constant freakshow every time.

>There's barely even any smut in here!
all of the romance books in Suzunaan are like that... well, the censored version they sell there are at least. if you want the unedited versions, just stop by Geidontei after closing hours and approach the young, purple dressed lady. if you share a drink with her she might even give you a piece made by renowned author Kitsune Kumo, whos works have been outright banned from the store.

Is Kosuzu even real? Is she a youkai?

>>51020211
>Hold Me Moonshine
That could very well be any of the moonies.
>>
Which Penguin Classics would Suzunaan stock?

I also wonder if the shrines would have any. I feel like Byakuren would have the whole Pali canon and a good amount of secondary works based upon them which she would gladly lend, Futo and friends have a few 1,000+ year old scrolls that she loans out very selectively, and then Hakurei/Moriya have minimal literature
