She's a responsible adult and is trying to stop this kid from falling for her before it grows (unlike another adult in the series).

Hey, don't badmouth Rika like that...
But why was she so harsh with her? If she wasn't, we could've cucked her

Also because Otoha assaulted her, she was gracious enough to had them both forget about it, and Otoha insisted on a later event - even though, by now, it's pretty clear to her that Niki has been in love with Akira since forever and been saving herself for him in every shape and form.
Niki hasn't reacted strongly enough in my opinion.
I mean, I get Nodoka's role as the "super genius" and "mega big-brain" of the series, but IRL she would be the biggest fucking autist. Like you cannot read this and not instantly have your immersion broken right

I have had the unfortunate gift of having met people very similar to this though (that did similar or worse things for seemingly no reason, which is more scary than out of malice - which I have also seen). Teenagers can be really screwed up in the head.I mean, I get Nodoka's role as the "super genius" and "mega big-brain" of the series, but IRL she would be the biggest fucking autist.

It is something most of us assumed about Io and before anyone says Nodoka doesn't know what we know, I'd say that book of hers implies otherwise.

My original question is “Did Pareidolia impersonate USER2 and cause the Molly incident?”, something I think you implied to be possible to a certain degree if I am not mistaken.
(and I am gonna refer to Pareidolia as "he" later on because typing it constantly feels extremely awkward lol)
If the answer to my question is yes, that means Pareidolia was constantly lying about his situation and what he can do. Not just during Molly incident, he'd be lying every time he said "as the days go by, I become stronger", “the most I’ve spoken… probably ever” during Ad Infinitum, and the “this is my first time trying this” during Paranoid.
If he is lying during all of that, the follow up questions to someone lying are “What for?” and “To whom?”, and this is the part I remain unconvinced.
Why lying about being his first time throwing millions of affection point and not admitting to his doing in Lavender's Green if he has no problem admitting his shenanigans against Karin? Why lying about his still growing power when it apparently can already get Molly raped? And why lying not to Sensei, but to viewers by using the name USER2?
He will not need to lull Sensei into picking him if he was already this capable. He will not need to say "oh that's actually not me" to what happened in Lavender's Green if he is apparently now this capable in the new chapter; he doesn't have a reason to keep lying (he could've pulled a "It was me!Dio! Parold E Dolia" on Sensei but he didn't). Most importantly, he did not need to pretend to be USER2 if no one other than the viewers can be deceived. Sensei wasn't the target of that proposed deceit because he couldn't even properly figure out who did that anyway. Sensei could only assume it was HOPE, the CAPSLOCK guy, because HOPE was the one that gave him the ultimatum. Sensei would’ve kept misunderstanding anyway had he not had asked, so there was essentially no one to lie to except for the viewers.
I could take more steps back and ponder what motives Pareidolia could have to answer each of my doubt, but just gaslighting Sensei is not strong enough of an argument. The only lie Pareidolia needed to tell was to convince Sensei that he is "a friend", that he is "on his side" in the form of false promises to maybe pull Sensei closer and have him choose the "right god". Pareidolia's plan to will work without any impersonation.
tldr is that without further decisive evidences, the whole pretending to be USER2 scenario remains something that involves an overly elaborate plot and an unnecessary stunt on Pareidolia's end to either achieve some very elusive goals or to fool no one in the game but our keen eyes; meanwhile assuming whoever got Molly raped back then being just a different god is much more straightforward and requires a lot less assumptions.
I agree all of this is not easy to interpret, but this is not a proof to "Pareidolia is instead the one that got Molly raped". I could argue that /////guy IS the culprit, and the whole "/////guy wanted you to think it was the caps lock guy" (an proposed incentive of Wire god told by Pareidolia) was the gaslighting part and should not be taken seriously.
This I am guessing is because Sensei worded the question incorrectly. Sensei wanted to know who exactly was the one that kept telling him to rape his students during Chapter 3 (the expected answer here is HOPE). But if Pareidolia read his question as "which one of you want me to take something that doesn't belong to you?" then the answer is unmistakably all of them. And all of them do everything to get their fills.
edit: my mistake; I realize I was the one that quoted this dialogue to begin with. You were just saying this might not be trustworthy or should not be interpreted too literally, which I agree.
Besides, if Pareidolia really could go full impersonation based on these scenes, he didn't need to still talk in ////lower case instead of the proper ////CAPSLOCK during Abyss and Ad Infinitum. I understand that without those lower cases we as the players would never figured out that this was in fact a different god, but according to what you said this would be exactly what Pareidolia would have wanted.

I understand this is the source of your theory, that you’re interpreting these occasions where Pareidolia spoke in USER2 fashions as, by extension, being capable of impersonating USER2 and doing shenanigans under USER2's name. From what I am seeing, this could be his attempt to reach out to Sensei during Wire god's season when he wasn't that capable of many things, and nothing more.
Besides, if Pareidolia really could go full impersonation based on these scenes, he didn't need to still talk in ////lower case instead of the proper ////CAPSLOCK during Abyss and Ad Infinitum.

Molly did feel kinda weird all of a sudden as soon as Sensei threw his 6M MOLLY POINTS on her. Though this was drunk Molly so my argument is weak as hell, still this at best can only prove that the tricks done on Molly and Karin are the same; it can't prove that the users of the tricks are the same.

Yeah if Pareidolia is really the one behind the moments Sensei turns into a full on fucking predator, then he's absolutely more vile to me than even HOPE is.
I will say it again - POOR KARIN
Welp, now I join you all in the waiting room! I have girl events still to do but main event wise, I have crawled my way here xD

Oh just wait... You're about to enter the 0.40 content (the current build), and I won't spoil it, but... lots of interesting stuff is ahead.
Again, only works because the story has set her up to be nearly omniscient. But ofc it's hard to justify so they give some super shitty "logic" to show how Nodoka arrived at that conclusion.
Just all around bad writing and the dialogue especially at that part is really stupid.

Depending on how it goes, Nodoka's blackmail of Yumi will fail. She also doesn't seem to anticipate Futaba's reaction to what she does if I recall correctly. I think there is a level of omniscience in relation to the quiz, but that's more for laughs than anything. Story-wise I think Nodoka can be wrong a lot of the times, especially in relation to people's reactions, she just doesn't really care.
Even the book is a good example, it was never about getting everything right, just for it to be similar enough that her objective is accomplished. I would assume the same thing is true in Io's case, she just took a shot to what would be the most fucked up possibility that would explain her behavior. Even if she missed, some damage would be done. There is something that she says about not revealing sexual assault without a reason or something just before though, I can't recall for sure - so I'm curious about that part.

Hard to say Chika is cucking Akira when she's actively pursuing people to get into a threesome with him.Also, why is Chika stealing Uta now
I want to scratch her chin, I feel like I am getting cucked by my very own "girlfriend"
I mean, it's the same thing with Futaba. She literally doesn't have a point most of the time, just that either no one calls her out on it or she's somehow right. Which ruins my immersion because it's like the world is set up to make us take her seriously even though, without the setting, she would be a total retard.
Like with Futaba, they point out that it's really easy to tell that it's her and then the conversation just ignores it? And with Io, her explanation of "she doesn't have good relationship with women therefore she must have been raped" isn't complete stupidity because somehow it's true. Again, no one would take Nodoka seriously if the world didn't just magically allow her to be unquestioned and correct whenever it needs her to be so she can seem smart.

The ending of chapter 3 is where I struggled too - I really don't get all of it as it's just a mind fuck and that reset sequence was AWFUL (IMO) but it basically looks like in the end, Maya caved and the illusion of Sana turned into the legitimate fuck fest of Maya + Akira. Which then lead to the genuine reality that is Maya Prime being lost for the moment, which broke Akira in a way that then flipped Ami into ultra fucked kidnapper mode.Chapter 3 just feels like I am high on drugs truth be told.
Can I just get help understand what the fuck happened in the ending of chapter 3?
