>Has Kasen even really shown guilt for what she did anyway?
You clearly have not bothered to read the manga at all. Literally the first case of her permakilling a vengeful spirit is right after she refers to herself as a "true villain", clearly not in any self-righteous way.
>and the fact she straight up dipped out of the larger Touhou story after she achieved that is kind of a meta way to say thats all she really wanted out of Reimu
That's literally the opposite of it. ZUN himself says she's "hard to write" which if anything you said was true, wouldn't be the case at all. It's difficult for him to write her precisely because she wants to improve, but status quo is god and so she can't because of the author. As I've said earlier, I don't understand at all why you're this hell-bent on seeing every character in Gensokyo as completely reprehensible, though your earlier analysis of the series (wrong, btw, look at the Hifuu albums if you want the most explicit confirmation of that. ZUN clearly unironically believes that Gensokyo is better than the outside world) sheds some light on that. Like I said though, if that's a view you enjoy, you're completely entitled to it, but if you try to say that's actual canon, obviously people are going to tell you you're wrong.
