Reimu doujins are the best.

I'm having problems getting used to Imperishable Night.

I keep getting distracted by both the bottom meter (Checking so I'm at 100% or at least decently high) and the time collection (so I can get B route at end). Previous Touhou I just shot and focused, but this seems much more complex to me.

These problems also carry over to bosses, since I want to keep using whatever I had 100% on (human or youkai). I see that some moves can become much easier if you shoot unfocused to remove bullet creators, but at the same time many of these benefit from focused movement to avoid the huge amount of bullets.

Got any general tips? I'm not doing THAT bad since I can come all the way to stage 6 (B more or less every time), but I can't 1CC it because I die too much due to avoiding focus or unfocus when it would make my life easier because of the time system.
