Fair point, only Sel knows what the ending actually will be like. But I was more referencing to the broader roadmap and the individual purity routes + true ending that at least implies it will not totally end in tragedy. It would not make too much sense otherwise. What that true ending looks like is shrouded in mystery ofc, but it still implies a deviation from DDLC by quite a bit.
Some things can be avoided, but the broader downfall and descend in sadness cannot be avoided (as of what we know so far, ofc).
To describe it a tad better, the player is not the only one in control here and some things you cannot alter at all, you literally have no choice.
But trust me, it is so fucking worth it. This game is so good for many reasons but the one that sets it completely aside from all the rest here is that it doesn't picture a bright shallow world to serve as fap material only. It pictures a deepness and complexity to the characters and their issues that are hardly found in VN/books, let alone "porn" games (forgive me Sel ^^).
It is as real as it gets, with a lot of joy and happiness, but also underlying issues and problems that you oftentimes cannot see immediately but we all struggle with regardless. And this mirror of very actual struggles is what makes the game, above everything else, believable.
God I hate VN and especially porn games here where characters act like completely braindead plot devices and nothing else. I stopped playing quite a lot because the writing and the character depth was atrocious that I could not bear reading any of that longer, despite the erotic parts.
LiL is the complete opposite, while it does contain a lot of erotic scenes that would qualify as fap material, I couldn't care less because I stuck around for the story and the characters and the writing that emotionally touches me which happens very rarely imo. And looking at the other
