if you all want to experience a *great* way to go through the latest update just listen to
The Weeknd - Moth to a Flame + Faith (slowed and reverb)
and believe me it just makes the latest update that much gripping

There is a theory that 0.36 goes inside reset. Something like this (special for Bingoogus <3)

1705172238112.png

So it works following way:
1) Sensei is not here, he is still reseting (and probably would recover after meeting Ayane)
2) Paper City references actual postcards class made and Ami gave to Sensei during timeskip / will give in 0.37
3) It may works so due to Maya last wish, because she felt she is already reseting and possibly could trigger "strange" reset for Sensei to spend her final moments with him

Don't like it, but it explains Remember to Smile transition and some allusions

this explains part of the reason why maya could not feel the reset coming, as sekai explained that if he failed to take something that was not his, something really bad was going to happen, I just want maya back man this fucking game is not the same without her

Its also possible that as she is one of the few people that knows Maya liked Akira (I don't remember does she also know there was some kind of relationship between them). She might have already or will soon put together that the change she noticed in Maya is connected to Akira breaking.
I just realized that, perhaps Touka also still remembers Maya loves him if she manages to remember that little sweet arc on the beach.

This to me, along with Noriko's newly gained awareness, is a proof that Maya's previous track in the world is not gone with the reset (especially those that involves romance considering Maya's affinity status is currently quite dubious).

Also, this indicates that you probably don't a dated history with Maya (particularly, a history within that tutoring time) to remember something about our shrine maiden; if you knew something prior, you will keep knowing. Those memories in your head that involve Maya are not deleted (nevertheless, the chance of those memories being altered is still on the table; maybe Touka only remembers she cockblocked a girl on the beach but she can't remember who, or completely misremembered into someone else).

Of course Noriko no doubt would have a bigger role in "figuring something out" as you suggested if that position ever becomes open. Touka at the end of the day only happens to know a key hidden part of Maya but is never familiar with Maya enough to thoroughly know the rest of her and spot incoherence.

Does anyone know how many updates chapter 4 will take or at least have a good guess how many updates it will be before Selebus gets to the good(depressing, sad harem building) part of this chapter? Gonna have a 1,5 years of hell as an infantryman so wanna know how much actual plot Selebus usually delivers in that time while I am on hiatus from this story. May as well make it 2 year long hiatus if there is a good possibility that chapter 4 is finished by then

from what I understand it could take a lot of time to get to the next chapter as the 3rd one took it's sweet time to build a lot of stuff, still salty about maya sel fuck you (just checked and it took from update .25 which is the start of chapter3, so going by that it might mean that it could take until october to get to chapter 5)

That advice reminds me of this advice:

Chapter 1 spanned from update 0.01 to update 0.10
Chapter 2 started in 0.11 and ended in 0.24
Chapter 3 started with .25 and ended in update .35

Chapters typically end around the Christmas events, so a reasonable assumption would be that Chapter 4 will end around the December 2024 update, either during that update, or the update immediately prior or after it. By the time you get back. we'll probably be midway through Chapter 5.

There would be no December 2024 update, so it would be either in January 2025 or later. Also, last time Sel booked 1.5 months for both chapter end and next chapter begin update (and it wasn't enough, lol), so I bet it would be spring 2025 or smth like that. It does not mater TBH, we barely known what chapter 4 would be

It's far too early to predict if there will be an update on 12/1 or not. It's reasonable to expect only two udpates between 10/1/24 and 1/1/25, but there hasn't been any real consistency on when they fall. A 12/1 release is entirely possible, especially if there isn't a release on 11/1 or 11/15.

Exact spacing, like the 1.5 and 2.5 month long gaps between the end of year updates this time around, depends entirely on his schedule. This year he had two offshore vacations, and timed his self-indulgent awards nonsense all in the same stretch. There's nothing about the end of a chapter that needs more time than a normal update, outside of the complexity of the reset puzzle (which would ultimately only impact one of those updates). He didn't need extra months for .36 because of the update itself, he needed the extra time because other shit was going on.

THe only time we had a chapter start in spring so far is when the game had to be reworked twice over six months, resulting in an absurd delay. I doubt we'll see that again.
