Hey does anyone have a save file that i can use i was halfway in chapter 2 but my save files got corrupt when i updated in to the new version.
Next cards: Kirin, Touka, NodokaNext cards: Chinami, Wakana, Yasu
This, tbh. I can't help but feel like we won't get the story of a fucked up man, perpetuating the abuse he suffered as a child onto others learning to acklowledge what he is and seek help, but instead we'll get something cheap and "shock value-ey", if you get what I mean.I can't help but feel like this game is gonna end with one big 'fuck you'. I get the vibe that the dev actually hates the player.
I think it's already been treated with more maturity than I expected, tbh. Some don't seem to care, others seem to give him a pass, then others don't, and even more others have no idea what's actually going on, then there's a few that support what he's doing. Meanwhile he both demonizes and embraces himself depending on how he's feeling. Can't really get more mature than acknowledging right and wrong changes between individuals and circumstances, and the world moves on nevertheless.This, tbh.

I get that Akira isn't a supposed be sympathetic, he's a groomer and a predator, but the game has given us a reason for the way he acts: trauma. So it would be nice to see this topic being treated with some level of maturity, but for some reason I just don't expect this of Sel
Everything's already good is what she meant to say of course! H-haha!Hoping at least a few girls will get a happy-ish ending. Sensei can end up as their free use puppet for all I care. I do think it's too late for any happy endings though. "Everything is already g-":You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I am currenty think of three most likely possibilities:You're definitely more optimistic than I am. I don't think anyone is getting an actual happy ending, besides maybe Nao (not Nao-chan) and those above it. I don't think the cycle will be broken. Sensei will get "close" then he'll be bluntly reminded that he's only playing the part that he was scripted to play, before being reset so that he can eternally struggle in vain. All while Nao watches, entertained, as the ants go around in circles. Any happy endings merely being "what ifs" meant to spice things up before being reset again.

The real plot twist of chapter 3 is that Sekai isn't the worst xDIm guessing Io went through the same situation with Akira and sekai. It would explain why Io being so repulsive to doing any sexual act.
"Everything is already good." She says after crying and begging to be taken somewhere else, then she's interrupted and the next time we see her she's crucified and begging for help. Honestly, that's even creepier than saying "gone".Everything's already good is what she meant to say of course! H-haha!
Also, was it mentioned anywhere if Akira's dad was a teacher? Sara seems to have dated a teacher in high school (or someone already made that connection, I vaguely remember seeing that possible theory connecting the two before in the thread).
As for a story, I don't think Akira isn't supposed to be sympathetic. Sure the creepy parts of him aren't. At first you disregard the creepy parts because you go in expecting a normal porn game and that point you might find them funny until more of the story reveals itself. But there's actual effort put into his character growth as he regains more memories and makes deeper personal connections with others; especially the scenes where he regains memories specifically (and Fireflies) have been quite touching. I don't know if there's a happy ending in story for him, but i also don't think it's quite as simple as "it's bound to be bad". There's more than 1 "God" at play here and they don't all seem to have the same goals or motivations (and we don't even know what is actually going on, ultimately).
I kinda don't think the whole mall thing is really... indicative of anything. It's a happy event, and Happy Events while having some indeed good pointers towards Sensei's past and future and everything, I don't feel like there's been a single one we can take at face value. Instead they are hallucinations or gods playing with sensei or a little bith of column a, little bit of column b etc. The whole mall story seems way more coherent than a normal happy event, but so do the conversations between plants, and that doesn't automatically mean that all the plants are sentient beings; instead it's a fun way for the author to address theories and maybe dump some additional info and we can sort of take talking plants a bit more easily as hallucinations.
I think it's similar for what we see in all happy events; since the characters and what occurs in these events seem to convey stuff that's contradictory to eachother (e.g. there's implications that this is just a video game, then refutations, etc. etc.). A lot of it i think just serves to obfuscate and further confuse until it all clicks in a later playthrough once it's all done (hopefully).
At least so far for me on my 2nd playthrough, a lot of stuff is clicking a lot easier knowing what happens down the line, or maybe I am just paying more attention.
I wonder how far away are we from any endings?
Personally, I think the gods are the least of Sensei's problems. They even seem like puppets at times, just playing their roles.I am currenty think of three most likely possibilities:
1) Sensei fights gods and fails. 3rd phase is about accepting his fate. Something similar to what you said
2) Sensei fights gods and wins. 3rd phase is about fixing what he done in process.
3) Conflict between goods and Sekai spirals out of control and problem solves itself. 3rd phase is reduced to aftermath
There is always forth possibility as well: Selebus outplays me again and does something even beter. Actualy it is more likely, especialy if he really rewriting plot right now.
The real plot twist of chapter 3 is that Sekai isn't the worst xD
May be, but honestly I don't think that what Sensei seeing are real gods. Maybe except Nao.Personally, I think the gods are the least of Sensei's problems. They even seem like puppets at times, just playing their roles.
HOPE and the Angels for example go on loop during the 'How I Feel' happy event, just like the girls do at times.
I mean, not to be crude, but gods are supernatural creatures. I do agree that these numbered gods are likely just creatures that are called such things though.May be, but honestly I don't think that what Sensei seeing are real gods. Maybe except Nao.
IIRC, Hope had never directly called himself god and avoided direct questions. We have a bunch of other gods here: Yasu's god, someone who Maya names god, possibly unnamed fourth god from "All For You" (Think back to the holy trinity and question why it was ever deemed a trinity in the first place since the cross has {b}four{/b} points, not three.). It is also a fair assumption that there is a god who can just reset Sensei if he displeases him. Gods seems to be a serious problem and we actualy know almost nothing.
At this point, we know almost nothing about them, but that they are important. For instance, history of callous ball of light and wired god can be interpreted by just Sensei's rationalization of his trauma. Speaking of Hope, we have seen that Sekai is using angels, so either she is already a god or angels not always related to gods.
I honestly don't know is there a real god(s), or just supernatural creatures who pretends to be them. I just don't see any idea underneath current setup but common "fight god" trop. It might be, I admit it, my conclusions are possibilities, not even hypotesis
I agree, I don't see LiL as the type of narrative where things can be resolved with such a direct conflict.I don't think "killing god" is really what the game's going for though. Even if an Unnamed Baby claims otherwise:
Considering the fact that nothing changed until the player got there, I think there's definitely a shot at some options having some amount impact.Nao spoiled the ending:You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
After doing Nao events go to shopping mall at sundayGuys how to get this update happy event?
Totally agree. Your ending predictions seem solid to me.You're definitely more optimistic than I am. I don't think anyone is getting an actual happy ending, besides maybe Nao (not Nao-chan) and those above it. I don't think the cycle will be broken. Sensei will get "close" then he'll be bluntly reminded that he's only playing the part that he was scripted to play, before being reset so that he can eternally struggle in vain. All while Nao watches, entertained, as the ants go around in circles. Any happy endings merely being "what ifs" meant to spice things up before being reset again.
The most we're gonna get is bittersweet.I mean anything's possible, there could be a happy ending. But I would bet against it. Happy endings are overated anyway.. when I see them in horror movies it makes me wanna barf.
Big request here

I definitely could see that "we" are what's going to be able to change things, and Sensei simply would be unable to without us.Considering the fact that nothing changed until the player got there, I think there's definitely a shot at some options having some amount impact.
Before we get on terminal 23 it was basically a repeat of Sensei being reset after one cycle and sometimes making it midway into a second one to be reset anyway. Now he's getting his memories back, people that don't show up are showing up and weird things happen that didn't happen before.
I know Selebus loves to do the players with "muh you don't have a choice" often but our actions can have consequences.
