Been grinding MoF lately, and now I can add Easy NB to my achievements.
Here's my best run.Everything usually goes smoothly and I can perfect everything... except those last three spellcards. Usually they require at least one death each, despite my best efforts. Not fun. Been considering trying pacifist, but with those around, not a chance. Might do it stage by stage, though. Later, anyway, I'm tired of them for now.
Had quite a lot of advancement everywhere else too. In particular, got quite farther on Hard. I always at least reach Aya now, and a few times got to stage 6. Didn't unlock it even with continues though, but got close. Got better at a lot of spellcards. Notably, at Nitori's - got the tricks behind "Diluvial Mere" and "Trauma in the Glimmering Depths", learned to read "Flash Flood"-style ones properly and stopped being afraid of "Monster Cucumber" and "Exteeeending Aaaaarm"
so I guess my shirikodama is safe now.
Now that I'm done with this hell of small bullets for now, time to see how it helped my abilities in other games.
