Is it just me, or is it weird that Akira thinks of Touka as 'motherly', but she's also his Landlady?

Just to add to this, Nao appears as Ami, the daughter of Sekai. Nao-Chan is now the adopted daughter of Kaori who has been possessed by Sekai. Seems like there is a connection there. Maybe Nao-Chan wasn't freaked out by seeing Kaori and Akira make out, maybe it was seing Kaori possessed that scared her?

If there are other Sekais... would that make them Isekais? I'll see myself out.

Interesting; the way this person is described feels like an attempt to hide an extra secret in addition to "Sana actually having a still alive family member unbeknownst to her and viewers".
For example, if "one other" means her dad, not simply referring to him as "her douchebag/absent father" to me implies that there is something else to hide in addition to "oh ok so the dude is still alive" because the emotional weight of he being deceased or not is so little. Hence, perhaps his identity/origin alone already could be another plot twist that can't be disclosed yet, or at least not during this goofy ass update.
So the option that fits my headcanon for this "one other" is:
- Her dad, hypothesized to be Nozomu, same as your suspicion and also my go-to. Sana is actually Sensei's niece. This also means Nozomu is alive by some broad definitions if we are to take "survived by one other" very literally.
And by assuming her dad really is Nozomu, we get other options like:
- Sensei. Sana's hypothesized uncle. This option negates the need to think about whether Nozomu is actually dead or not.
- Ami. Sana's hypothesized half sister (or cousin).
- Rin. Sana's hypothesized half sister and is actually Sensei's niece, with the additional required assumption that Rin's biological father is also Nozomu.
Pretty sure a good part of this exhaustive method is overthinking because some of the candidates aren't even mutually exclusive and will contradict the supposedly singular "one other" (especially when it comes to Sensei and Ami), and I am not sure whether or not relatives that aren't parents/sibling/spouses/children are usually applicable to "survived by family members". So "the other" means Sana's dad (whether he is Nozomu or not) is still the least messy candidate.
Meanwhile, Sara being pregnant is a lot less likely because this event plays out exactly the same even if you didn't fuck Sara.

Honestly, it took me a couple of moments to notice that he isn't MatPat.

Regarding Nao-chan and Nao again, something I thought about after closing the computer down and heading to bed was the choice of Kanji used for both characters. For Nao, its 直 which means something like "ordinary," while for the deity Nao, its 今, which translates to "now." And Nao and "now" are pronounced almost the same. So I'm wondering if the choice of that Kanji 今means anything, or its just Selebus trying to look cool with Japanese-to-English wordplay.
Just a random thought I had, since the Kanji used for deity Nao's name doesn't actually carry the pronunciation or the meaning of "nao."

She wants to get her daughter laid. I'm just not sure which one.
ok but why? ok chika, I can also understand Touka for the excuse of giving him experience, but if Tsukasa also accepts it means that he has a plan in mind.

Awhile back someone here pointed out that the reason why deity Nao's displayed name being 今 might be because its English approximation, ima, is ami written backwards as it takes the image of Ami, which I think it's pretty neat.

This way we don't need to guess whether or not Selly decides to embed meanings in names since he claims to be horrible with kanji back then IIRC.

I mean, Sara being pregnant doesn't require it to be Sensei's, but yeah, Sana's dad would be the least messy alternative.
It really does tho. I mean males are in the whole game world nothing but silhouettes. Also it wouldnt really fit to Sara to have another guy she has ex with on the side. So unless you implay some supernatural fuckery by what ever god is in power this week. I would say chances when she is pregnant that isnt his are nill. And last but not least, this isnt the game to sundenly introduce other males that cuck akira and impregnate his bitches.

Looking at most western VN(including this one) and then checking japanese ones in vndb, I remembered ages old question. These VNs, mangas, light novels, web novels, 4 page comicks and anime, why are they almost all focused on school setting? LiL is good, especially compared to the awful(very overrated) japanese VNs, but it still suffers from the same problem. The amount of shit that is released, centered around school setting between 2010 and 2024 is enough to make a man puke. While LiL can get a pass, because the school setting actually makes sence and it is important plot point, the rest of VNs and japanese media centered around school will hopefully die off in the next 6 years from now. It is also a bit sad, when writers center their work around school, it makes one think that they were no-friends, no-life losers and they are trying to overcompensate with fiction. I could not place my finger on why this update was so God awful in terms of writing, but now I think it was actually because of how alike the current update writing is to japanese mangas and light novels "writing". This is hopefully just a misfire and not a beginning of a trend. By any point, by the time LiL is completed the "school setting" works will be a distant memory for the media, God willing.
Numbers to back this up? Looking at this site alone, you filter on VNs with male protags (just over 5000) and only about 800 have the school setting tag. Can't speak for Japanese VNs, but that doesn't seem to be the majority here.
