I agree with all points.

its correct and factual

How are the living conditions of humans in Gensokyo? Fortune Teller, who should have been rolling in cash and filling a high position in the Human Village if Kosuzu's fortune-telling business' success was anything to go by, described his life as "miserable [...] under the yoke of youkai" in comparison to the "world outside". But don't human villagers have access to extremely advanced medical care from Eientei as well as the youkai that keep them safe from natural disasters? How is their life any worse than the lives of outsiders?

I find it strange that despite the benefits of living in the human village (extremely good medical care beyond anything in the outside world, youkai protect from natural disasters, etc.) the fortune teller still called his life "miserable [...] under the yoke of youkai". Did he not know youkai protected the village (unlikely considering his divinations were powerful enough to perceive the Outside World, unless he was extremely oblivious or something)? Or did he think that in spite of the benefits, living as a villager in Gensokyo was still miserable compared to the Outside?

It's not like he was an urchin living off of scraps or anything either, if Kosuzu's fortune telling business success says anything he was probably enjoying quite a financially comfy life, yet he still considered his life miserable due to youkai. Odd.
