Finally caught up after God GOD god knows how long. Just gotta say, Io is best girl. Also I'm looking forward to where the story takes us next.
I feel like part of the fun is to speculate what's happening between updates, since you have time to think and not just read from start to finish. Plus 1 month wait is pretty standard for mangas.I really gotta start playing only completed games, man. At least in the past i was only waiting on updates for games to have more porn; with this game it feels like im super hyped up waiting to inflict another dose of D20 psychic damage upon myself

Did he cause the event, or did Akira simply slip into his realm by accident? He's nowhere to be seen, so if he pulled Akira in, for what purpose?This being complete now means i can get to something i noticed last night, it would seem this event was caused by Pareidolia... what do you guys make of that?
Pareidolia isn't on Sensei's side, but they seem to prefer fixing things than causing things to happen. Helped Sensei in the 'Non Est Deus' Happy Event, and in Yumi's 'Abyss', and even helped Sana in her 'Ad Infinitum'. Sending Sensei to the mall seems out of character.Haw haw! That all fits perfectly!

Considering the world outside the mall, maybe Pareidolia actually saved Amy and keep things relatively normal in there too, by closing off said mall from outside poisonous world (or sealing it to save the outside, keeping Amy in the cage) so, yeah, fixing things.Pareidolia isn't on Sensei's side, but they seem to prefer fixing things than causing things to happen.

I think Pareidolia may be related to the Mall though. Possibly named itself after it if the Mall is the "Pareidolia Mall". Maybe even was created by the Mall?
Possibly. I'm thinking Pareidolia might even be the doctor in the medical ward that's keeping those within the mall "healthy"/"alive". It's trait of being "concerned" might be a hint at something like that.Considering the world outside the mall, maybe Pareidolia actually saved Amy and keep things relatively normal in there too, by closing off said mall from outside poisonous world (or sealing it to save the outside, keeping Amy in the cage) so, yeah, fixing things.
While I don't agree with the dev's attitude on all matters (though I am still a subscriber), he's made it clear that this isn't meant to be a pleasant story, Sensei is not supposed to be self insert or a character people enjoy 'playing as' and anyone who does identify with him or roots for him should seek help. And it's abundantly clear that there will not be anything resembling a 'happy' ending.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 "thoroughly confused" is just how we're supposed to be, tbh.Handful of things I'm curious about after 'almost' catching up, (in the midst of 3.1 events)

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.

I don't think he will go that far, but i do low-key think his stated plan for harem/dark/purity phases might turn out to be a massive load of shit and the awaited dark phase either never comes or plays out waaaaaaaay different than expected.I can't help but feel like this game is gonna end with one big 'fuck you'.

To be fair, I want girls to have a happy ending (even if I kinda hate some of them, they deserve it too), but, sadly, for some of them that implies that sensei was with them. Unless the ending imply that everyone forgets about sensei altogether - there will be no perfectly good ending.While I don't agree with the dev's attitude on all matters (though I am still a subscriber), he's made it clear that this isn't meant to be a pleasant story, Sensei is not supposed to be self insert or a character people enjoy 'playing as' and anyone who does identify with him or roots for him should seek help.

Most of the girls are using Akira as a proxy for something missing in their life. Their happy ending would be them either getting it back, or realizing there are healthier ways to live without them.To be fair, I want girls to have a happy ending (even if I kinda hate some of them, they deserve it too), but, sadly, for some of them that implies that sensei was with them.

He is also really passionate about the story. I don't think he'll ruin it just to spite people.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 wish I could agree with your optimism, but I just don't see it. I do hope for some kind of light at the end of the tunnel, but the overarching plot, setting, and information about wtf is wrong with Sensei are just being so slowly drip-fed that I'm struggling to understand what exactly the main focus of the game is.He is also really passionate about the story. I don't think he'll ruin it just to spite people.
I think the endings are gonna be mostly realistic, some will win and some will lose. Extreme stuff like care package Miku won't happen (she became a teacher like Sensei to molest young boys) but some of them could end up like chapter 1 Sara or Yuki or even Kaori, but some will get better endings too (that is not ending up with Sensei, like Touka becoming a better mom or Molly finding a girlfriend). If something really fucked up happens, it's probably going to happen to people who are most involved with the world.
Imo, this world is weird enough to give all girls happy ending with Sensei without sharing. Yes, it would be a paradox, but when nothing is real anything is possible.To be fair, I want girls to have a happy ending (even if I kinda hate some of them, they deserve it too), but, sadly, for some of them that implies that sensei was with them.
