I did at first but then I grew to hate him and stopped. It's really a credit to the storytelling that I'm still invested despite not being able to relate to the mc.
Well that understandable, for the first chapter or so he was pretty much a blank slate harem MC who was just there to lure girls into sex for our gratification.

That might be what Sel intended which would be why you don't learn his name until chapter 3, by then you are supposed to see him as an actual character instead of a blank slate mc.

Yeah, after the story starts to shift towards the end of chapter 1 i struggle to see why anyone would still be projecting onto him.

Ah, I see. I think I was still skipping over a lot of texts when it came to these events, I must've gotten the chronology of events wrong. Will have to read more carefully on this 2nd playthrough. Is it ever explained why Noriko doesn't tell Niki about Sensei while he's tutoring her, then?
Niki was NOT okay. You can see it in her letters, she was having a full blown mental breakdown over how he ghosted her. Their parents desperately wanted her to move on, and if Noriko had brought him up at all during those that period 1) Niki likely would have gone off the deep end completely, and 2) her parents likely would have pulled the plug on her tutoring.

That this also meant she'd have him all to herself also played a large part.

Once she was reuinited with him again in the classroom, I think she was more inclined to share with Niki because 1) Niki was in a much better headspace 2) Noriko was already going to have to share him with others, so the "all to herself" angle wasn't applicable anymore.

Some things I wanted to ask about:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
So, some Niki and Maya timeline stuff:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

As for the Maya handjob "dream", I think that was actually Maya breaking a past Sensei in a loop, like she's mentioned she's done:

Sensei just recalled a past version of himself before he "broke" or in other words, a past life moments before being fucked to death by Maya.

Feels weird to say 'us' for this game, i do not at all project onto Akira... no fuckin' way.
I don't even use his name, because I find it hard to humanize him. Hence why I say Sensei. He's just Sensei to me, and I don't equate that with respect or anything. It's just a word that happens to relate to him.

It's ironically the same reason he apparently ignored his first name for so long. Which I find rather funny.

i was about to say how great of an idea it would be to create a r/okbuddysensei subreddit but someone already took the name

Next cards: Io, Sana, Rin
There is something about this Yumi that somehow makes her +50% cuter than usual; how is it possible? is it because of the uniform/pony tail combo that she never did?

Or maybe it's because this makes her look like somewhat of a good student who just spent some efforts into looking tidy for a professional headshot

It might just be me, but that koikatsu version kind of makes her look more like her mom to me. Take that as you will.

There's no way that's the case because she appears SUPER early in the game, you just don't see her before then.
When Sensei buys the scarf for Maya the first time she was there as the shopkeeper, you can pick up on her weird speech pattern and lack of awareness when it comes to prices.

Edit : Oh yeah, and she's also already in this event disguised as Maya, probably.

When you try to get Haruka to call you Husband as a pet name and Maya appears, it must be her in disguise as well, and that was way early in the game if I recall correctly

That seems to me the most likely option too, and i think it makes the scene unique as Sensei recalling a memory of a non-original version of Sensei. As far as I can recall, any other memories he's remembered have been from the original iteration.
Possibly, it's definitely hard to tell since for all we know everyone is lying and false memories are a thing even then.

I do think the "breed a niece game" might have been a past loop memory of his though, and possibly some stuff in the happy events, but that's all conjecture. Also I'm hoping Ami doesn't actually have 500 fingers like she did in the "dream":

Then there's Ami 2, and.. yeah, really hoping it wasn't a memory of him with a past Psycho Ami.

Saw a few friends of mine on twitter noooooooing over the end of Illusion on 08/18/23; I guess here goes some legality dramas (or maybe not? DRM shit is tricky)

What happened? I couldn't find anything about it
Edit: nvm it's just Illusion shutting down without any drama behind it. Probably will not affect the HS and Koi VNs
