Hello, I was looking through games that had a heavier influence on story and gameplay elements than the ecchi and ended up being recommended this series so far! I've looked at the premise for both and I just kinda skipped to the end of this forum in an attempt to blot out spoilers, but also heard this game can be pretty unforgiving. Any tips for someone starting a blind run for both games?
Play the first game, then play the second game. In both games, you can recruit, rape and kill the heroines you find. Also, both games have multiple endings.
The first game is pretty straightforward. The second one is a bit complicated (specially during your first run) since you have several paths and a new aspect called "SEN" that allows you to change the way you see the game (similar as Fran Bow). There are some jumpscares too, so be on guard. Finally, you can find some notes that can help you and some that can trick you. The best way to enjoy both of them is by playing on your own and look for advices once you're stuck or want to get a different ending.

How long is this game for the first playthrough?
I can't speak for everyone but I guess that depends how deep down the rabbit hole you wanna go. Between grinding + exploring I reached my first ending around 15-20 hours. I did spend an ungodly amount of time grinding and reloading saves to experiment with certain outcomes though. If you just followed through on the trails and know where to go you can probably reach your first ending in less than 10 hours maybe?

Did someone say damage? no? too bad

To do this much damage I used frumious wrath on him after using grand challenge for 4 marks, applying oil, adding fire weapon buff, and inflicting him with frail from the black blade and it was a crit with max attack. Could probably break 1 billion damage if I could find black wave in the chaos dungeon and knew an enemy that was already weak to fire (or ice). This takes 10 turns though just to charge frumious wrath. You could still do over 100m damage turn one with deadman's blow at 1 hp and the same set up. Needs 5 actions though.

If you die once, you'll end up in Library Dream. There's a door you cannot open (until some progress) and it has 10 torches upon. Each time you defeat a boss (you fight them by traversing the fog) a torch ignites and progress increases by one. Despite being only 10 torches, there are several bosses out there to challenge.

You can also increase progress by pulling the lever in the cathedral, entering the rose garden (actually getting past the guards), entering upper ludwidge, and getting certain scene that can only be gotten at 0 progress.

Would like to note that the boss in the Library Dream itself does not add a torch. Feel free to kill him anytime.

Yeah, that's probably break. Don't guard, although stoneskin should protect against that. The second one is her weakpoint gimmick. Basically, every time she attacks you get a weakpoint exposed which increases her damage against you. Same thing happen if she uses her evade and counter skill or grand challenge. You can't remove it anyway or avoid it other than just not being attacked. I think it goes away if she attacks you but that will also apply it again so... Her weapon that you can make from her soul does the same gimmick and it's 1.5x damage per weakpoint, dunno if its the same for her though.
If she's evading, you can get rid of it with anchor's crushing depths skill. Mary's wand or absolute precision + dispel I think also work (but the latter won't work on her winter town fight)

I just found that the person who made Black Souls has apparently also been doing a Touhou web series thing called Igyoukyo, or Grotesque Land Story, though unfortunately not that much of it has been translated yet that I could find on Youtube.
The person who did illustrations for Black souls 1 and 2 also had a lot of KKHTA illustrations on their pixiv profile
