Well I got fed up with TD LNBNT because I thought that I just plain didn't have what it takes to do it. So I put myself up to a little challenge: Given that I've been working at this for a while, I should be able to land a TD LNB clear easy. And if I ended up unable to do that, then I would put this challenge aside. So I made an attempt, and
got a very messy clear relatively quickly. Deaths on: midboss Kyouko's spellcard (I'm serious), Yoshika's second card (I took my own life because I was so ashamed that I panic tranced it), Seiga's 2nd non, Tongling Yoshika, end of Futo's 1st non (also serious), Miko's final card, and I also tranced my way through Royal Clan's Chaotic Dance because I screwed up.
Even though I did actually get the clear, I still have doubts about my ability to do the LNBNT. I mean if you look at my death list, it's kind of all over the place, which is what a typical run of mine looks like in NBNT, and not to mention that I can't trance through the difficult stage sections in a NBNT, which adds 2 more areas to screw up on between stages 4 and 5. I think the issue is just that this game is at just the right difficulty to have enough sections that can screw me over on a regular enough basis, but that overall isn't difficult enough to make me feel like I'm truly overcoming a difficult challenge. I'm starting to feel as though this is just a waiting game where I'm waiting for myself to be consistent enough to get through this, as opposed to LNBNT being something truly challenging that I'm slowly working towards. It feels like a slog, and I'm very tempted to just walk away, hope I get better, and come back later to find this a bit easier to work through.
