No, your room with the clocks example makes sense. The thing is, this really isn't the sort of story that should be consumed while it's being written. As an example: In japanese literature there is the concept of a web novel and a light novel. The web novel is published mini-chapter by mini-chapter online. The lightnovel is published volume by volume, and is oftentimes a rewrite of the world novel. And those aren't even close to the level of complexity that LiL has.
For as a good of an outline that Selebus might have for his story, there is absolutely no way he'll be able to reach the end of it all and don't rewrite it, that's just common sense. No serious writer finished his work and then went to publish it without having people look at it, let it rest for a while, and then rewrite a lot of stuff.
It's certainly a good thing to experience LiL as it's being written, but I guess we just have to accept that he'll keep tweaking what's written from time to time rather than wait to do it at the end (especially supernatural stuff). I'm not sure I would go so far as retconning though. Although there is a dissonance between chapter 1 and the latest chapters for sure.
I do wish for when we get the final version of the game for everything supernatural to be more, for the lack of a better word, even. Which is I think what he did for the room with the clocks. The first version was basically, as is with most of chapter 1, about Sekai. Then the new version became about (hopefully) every stage of the game to come. We'll see.
