Yeah, same here. Whenever a new character gets introduced, I go in and immediately edit their affection and lust values to 100. I don't want to miss a scene just because I didn't grind lust points without knowing I was supposed to have done so.

I'd be careful with that. Given that it's impossible to generate more than N points of either in a given unit of time, it's not uncommon for events to implicitly contain assumptions like "you will have a Tuesday with affection> 10 before you ever have a Monday with affection > 30". You'll _probably_ still see everything, but the order might be jumbled. In a game as immersive as LiL that'd suck.

It shows main events in order. Side events related to the girls might be off by a hair, but given how mushy mouthed the story gets as you progress it doesn't affect the story much. You start with the assumption that people who aren't interested in grinding are interested in every detail of the story as intended. I'm not going to lie, by the end of the first chapter I was over the story. CTRL was held down most of the time for all but 2 or 3 girls stories. Once you have reached the point you want Maya to die in a housefire you're no longer concerned if her story is coherent.

How do I increase the lust for sara and chicka?

After playing this game for like 30 hours I must say, that if there is an oxford dictionary entry for "blue balls" or "(to be) cockblocked", screenshot from LiS should be placed somewhere there at the top.

I've not ever played something both somewhat enjoyable and at the same time this frustrating before.

You know that you are playing a porn game. The game knows you are playing a porn game. Characters in the game knows they are in a porn game. They clearly refer to each other as a porn game characters. Author of a game knows that you are playing a porn game. Not one, but TWO characters in the game actively harass you because you are a porn game protagonist.

And at the same time the gameplay is like "Hey, you've seen this minor H-scene? Well, good for you, now you get to grind like 56 story events with unknown triggers and no way to know which way you need to focus yourself, good fucking luck!".

P.S. Also I'm a bit salty that Yumi, Sana, Miku, Rin, Maya and Chinami, each one of them, are missing H-scenes (well, almost). Whole plethora of girls appeasing to "character with severe problems" fetish, and none of them are bangable. God damn.

P.P.S. I'm not complaining about free stuff or enforcing my opinion on author, please don't kill me. I'm just mildly annoyed that my time investment did not yield expected profits.

So... this is the first time I'm playing the game and I wanna know what happened to the sex scenes? Is this a censored version where the author removed said scenes? Or are they unlocked later on in the game? (So far I'm still playing chap. 1). Whenever there's a sex scene the MC just goes "hug" mode with the girls but there are no scenes... (I only managed to see a couple scenes so far where there's actually any action)

The compressed version available on the main page is missing the folders that enable the adult content.

Either download the full-size install from here, or from the itch.io page. Someone else posted a compressed link that they claim works, but I haven't verified. There's a link to that on one of the last three pages of this thread.

Yeah, it can be confusing in relation to that. But Sel wants the focus to be on the story, and not on the sex. Being real, it's likely only a porn game in the first place because sex sells and it generates a lot of interest quickly. People tend to start playing for the sex, and continue playing for the story

My reputation precedes me. Excellent.

Nothing you said isn't a fair critique. You're absolutely right, you're not demanding shit. Hell I'm frustrated with a lot in this game. Selebus *is* present here, or was, so you're not just yelling in a Pizza Hut about MCDonalds. No need for an apology, and I won't be giving you a link to the renpy quickstart manual.

PS The majority of characters I dont want to see die horrific and brutal deaths are also the same as the ones youre frustrated about not having more of. Maya can die. In a housefire. Fuck her.

After playing a certain VN, I do not wish to ever seen any love interest ever die in another house fire. That shit was very hard to deal with.

Now you've piqued my interest, which VN did this? I haven't seen an Hgame aside from My Lovely Wife kill off boobies outside of a snuff situation.

Thanks for the recommendation. Played through it, probably one of the best VNs out there. I cant really compare that housefire to the one I want Maya to die in. Since I dont like Maya at all. But I can see how ALs housefire would put you off that.

If you liked Acting Lessons, you're probably gonna love Being a Dik, if you have not already played it. Just leaving the reccomendation.

It's on the list.

I'm guessing from the frame in AL that its a prequel to the story.

So, I'm currently replaying the game (the early-game rework coincided nicely with me having to reinstall my windows and thus losing all saves) and...
Man. I really hoped Selebus would've smartened up about the dumb Terminal/IP/username/Password-puzzle. But no.
So in the interest of having to replay the game (and other stuck) I'm gonna just write them out for future reference as a protest of this dumb puzzle.

NGL, I half-expected him to make the early resets harder as an act of contempt for all the people who complain about them.

Thats why i generally play pure VN .those puzzles makes me sick .i just want to read story man

ProudHomophobic · Aug 17, 2022

This game is getting worse and worse .too much skippable scenes. i think its normal because Selebus is just yuri lover weeb. why there is too much yuri lines ? why there are too much weebs almost all characters are like anime characters their personality are cringe .like rin molly otoha nodoka ami its tiring to read their lines too annoying .it wasnt like this .
