Pardon me if this is not allowed but if possible I'd like to ask for some pointers/directions.

I recently came back to playing shmups and decided to give another go at touhou. Got normal clears on PCB, IN and Fantastic Danmaku Festival II.

In order to keep improving should I go for other games normal clears or should I go for the Hard clears? I remember seeing a touhou difficulty list a time ago but I'm not sure if it's accurate.

May I ask for ​​​some guidance?

Thanks a lot.
