"chu" as in a light kiss in manga.
There's a scene in the early game in which Ayane walks in on Sensei in the bathroom of his apartment, and she lightly kisses his penis.
That entire scene is getting yeeted in the rework.

If Maya gets rebooted would sensei even care? Wouldn't he use the opportunity to manipulate her to fall in love with him? He can create whatever personality he wants her to have for his convenience.

There's definitely a part of Sensei that would do exactly that. Sensei might not care.
We, the players, are much more likely to, and she's a popular enough character that a player revolt might break out if it happens. And it's the kind of existential-horror scenario that I'd expect from this game.
The main reason I think it's going to happen, beyond just the foreshadowing we've seen, is that we've reached the point in the story where Sensei doesn't need her as a mentor to help him navigate this world anymore, and much like other stories with a mentor archetype, when the protagonist has learned all he needs to learn from his mentor, it's time for the mentor to be taken away so that the hero can learn to continue without their help.
Entirely possible, I would also be getting annoyed at this. In fairness to anyone who may or may not be requesting refunds, you make an extremely good point. It is well known at this point that patron types don't usually like to be kept waiting, so it is understandable that, because they are not getting the monthly release they were told they would when they signed up, that they would not want to pay for it.
However, what is not understandable is that they have been given a good reason for this period of inactivity and yet are not acting like the reason for it is valid as if they think games don't go through reworks like this.
This is, of course, all speculation as I have no inside information from Selebus to go from. As for the update, I am finally well enough to play again and hopefully I won't get sick before I get through content I have gotten behind on plus new stuff. I am very anxious myself about the Maya possibility and what that might do to Sensei not to mention the possibility that any 'good' in him might also be reset, whether he gained it over the course of the story or had it already, but we'll see what happens.
Honestly, there are a lot of unknowns going into this one, so there's not telling how bad the Maya reset may or may not be assuming it happens.
That would be a scary thought, it would essentially be giving her the same treatment as Sensei got at the beginning of the game. Next thing you know, she'll be waking up in his chair with Ami sitting at her desk after school.
Unfortunately, I still feel it sets up how she is up to the first beach event and is important to her character to that point as a result. She was shown to be kind of willing to do some pretty drastic stuff, nothing like murder, but things like basically throwing herself at him right out of the gate. She kind of settled down from that sort of behavior after the first beach event and I feel it was a result of the event with Kirin.
Considering the implication is that nobody is safe, even he may be rebooted to some degree, we don't know.
I can see it, she is up there as far as popularity.

Sounds like what sensei would really do.
Personally I also would like to see the another side of Maya (the Maya before she the gained the knowledge of about the world and timeloops ) so I'm not really against Maya being rebooted though if ever Maya really got rebooted I would like to see sensei panic or care a bit for Maya
As for this whole fan revolt nonsense, hopefully it doesn't happen. I know fans can get rather rabid, especially very devoted ones of a very specific individual/character like Maya, but come on, it is just a game. That said, while I like Maya, I have no dog in that fight as a Rin fan. Even Rin getting this kind of reset treatment would fail to rile me up because it is still just a game. I might be a bit upset by it on a personal level because of how well this game toys with my emotions, meaning worried for her and all that, but I would not be revolting over it, in any sense of the word.
From an outside perspective, though, this opens up a whole lot more Selebus could do with the story than if Maya had never been reset. This was a good move assuming it does happen.
I am in the sense that she was essentially his guide through the loops, she was what kept him from going entirely out of control in them. Without her, things are going to get even more unpredictable than they already were and not in a good way morally speaking. I could see a rise in his antics, like what he did to Miku, a drastic one without her.

Plot twist: The next update is where the game goes from Muv Luv to Muv Luv:Alternative. Aliens invade and suddenly the game switches to a top down turn based strategy game.

That’s probably over-analysing.
At most; it’s likely to be a combination of things we know or expect, from the re-write having some implications on content release, to the possibility of people taking offence at drawings without clothing labelled "Chinami" and “Tsukasa”. And there’s been already some scheduling upset due to the HuggyBoy incident, which is likely to have at least a small set of ongoing repercussions with mantaining multiple storylines and image sets.
A lot of refund requests is pretty much the norm, as people these days are essentially stupid.
I mean; if you purchase something (eg. gamepass, milk), and use any portion of it; refund is going to be at the seller’s discretion unless there’s a fundamental issue (green milk).
Selebus has said that he intends to release small standalone sidestories during the rework hiatus (like Molly's Bad Day back in December, except canonical to the story), so patrons aren't entirely wasting their money.
That said, given that this madman is releasing a 50k word update in three weeks when other adult VNs take four months to deliver a piddling 10k words of new content, I feel the value proposition for LiL is wildly in the consumer's favor, so I'd be content either way.

Nice, I've been waiting for some overly dramatic plot development that doesn't rectify itself or softens the blow in the next update. I feel like Sel been pulling some of the punchies. Hopefully, not anymore.
He would care. I think we might see the reverse dynamic in their relationship after Maya's hypothetical reset: she would no longer be immune to Sensei's "charms", but Sensei would no longer be interested in her "normal" self. He might also try to revert her back which would also cause a discord between them.

Entirely possible. Over-analysis is what I do best.
We'll find out in about 13ish hours.

Good to know. I missed that reveal.
I had to cancel my sub this week for financial reasons, and am not sure when/if I'll be able to resume it, but I'm glad to hear that it won't be a total content drought.

In December, when the whole kerfluffle with Patreon went down, he released the announcement in story form, by way of Molly finding out her favorite VN was getting censored. It's all of 3 minutes, and is more an explanation of what's happening than anything else.

The same reason why I really respect Selebus, A diligent guy who keep his words and doesn't leave his fans hanging like certain devs I know who just milks money out of the people who trusted them
Anyone who complains about Selebus not providing content is an idiot. Doubly so if they complain on a pirate site (although that last part is true across all developers - if you're getting the game here, even one update every five years would be getting your money's worth).
