Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.46.0] [Selebus]

[thegeo]

As someone who last played in March and took a break until this update (3 updates? Or was it only 2 because of the break but anyways) its crazy how trash of an update the Nodokathon/Dorm Wars update was compared to the most recent update. Spent a few hours just reading through the thread here about the Io choice.

If every update was at nodokathon level I think id be almost ready to just check out permanently or take a loooong break but damn im just instantly pulled back in again after this. Though I am quite unsatisfied with the Kirin/Karin drama as that was the big cliffhanger when I last played, and if anything this update has just solidified my super low opinion of Kirin.

Kirin went from being someone who leveraged blackmail over Sensei to essentially fuck with Ayane for no reason to just being a complete spineless wimp, in my eyes she has lost every bit of spice/interesting factors that separated her from the rest of the class when she was first introduced. I just see no reason to be interested or motivated to care about anything she says/does at this point compared to all the other interesting shit going on right now.

Do you guys think there's too many girls on the roster or would you like there to be some more? I think that there's never too many but I imagine it must be hard for the average player to keep up with so many characters.
I'd personally like more side girls from like a different class like Karin or something, a goth girl from Wakana's class would be nice

Dorm 2 characters have kinda grown on me as being more distinct over time. Dorm 1 was designed as basic dating sim archetypes but with a manipulative predator as the MC. And of course over time Sel fleshed them out and added twists to them. But Dorm 2 is better built to explore Akira's character and his dark side. For instance his wizard attraction: originally we would have only seen that through flashbacks with Maya and maybe scenes with Chinami. Now there's Io, Uta, Tsukasa, and Tsubasa who can all confront him on it in different ways. Maybe even Noriko or Nodoka could bring it up later. So when this is all finished I think the expanded roster will fit Sel's vision a bit better. But boy, as an update-to-update reader I would have loved for there to be less girls and thus less time waiting to get through character arcs.

Also, this is all except for Karin. I still don't think Karin has added anything to the story that couldn't be accomplished some other way. Give her screentime to Moyo; everyone loves Moyo.

Yes, it's the optimal way to do it.

Do the event before Schadenfreude and stop there until after the beach event.

The beach event went horrible for rin and ayane. Next playthrough I'll do this

 

[Moonflare]

Can you do the beach even without doing anything naughty with chika

As it has been said, there are two paths possible. In one of them you have schadenfreude (event with Chika on her dorm) before the beach trip, which triggers bad homie. If you wait to do schadenfreude after the beach trip, you trigger good homie (the optimal Rin path imo).

Kissing Chika after taking her home is fine in regards to the homie situation. Rin will not fault you for it. But schadenfreude is a no-no.

Edit: since I think I got this to you too late, here's a tip on an upcoming event (down the line). If you ever play "fuck, marry, kill" with Kirin, do not choose kill for her or you'll miss an event (any other option is fine). I say this because iirc the guide doesn't mention this.

Fuck, marry, kill: Moonflare, Deskel, LessonsInDissonance.

I remember Maya saying that the boxes was just her lunch/reset supplies. Or did we think that was just a half-truth for some reason?

Not sure I remember that, but either way too much focus has been put on it and she's too secretive about them for it to not either be something to be revealed, or a gag down the line if it is something innocuous. The idea of Maya dragging around MREs is very funny though

What?.. That's so stupid to talk about ourselves.

Important question, is this version of Mooney the goth girl he once was, or the current Mooney?

Why not both?

Fuck: Moonflare
Marry: Bingoogus
Kill: Barglenarglezous

 

[Bingoogus]

Marry: Bingoogus

Lmao, i should warn anyone choosing to marry me that they should only do so if they're prepared for a lot of things to go in their butt, including my fist... sooo many things and sooo many fistings...

I wonder who's Chika, Noriko and Kirin in that trio.

In all seriousness though, I'd think it'd be the version one would be more inclined to fuck. Whoever that is.

Also, I don't know about DeSkel, he likes Nodoka way too much and if I had a penis I'd already have had my share of crazy back in my younger days... They do say sex with crazy is the best though. Huh. Back at square one then.

Definitely no more. We already don't get enough time with the ones we have. For example, we've barely talked with Makoto about things and its been months. I want more time with girls like Niki, Maya, Ayane, Wakana, Kaori.... the list goes on

I'll be too dead to care.

Hmmm... never tried fisting a cadaver before...

Well, that's an ice-breaker lol

Which reminds me, once I had friend that started a relationship because in their first meeting their conversation went to "which level of fetish you'd be willing to accept from your partner?", and they said they'd be okay with necrophilia "because it's not really cheating since it's not a person anymore", and as long as they didn't have to be part of it.

And I'm there listening to all of this from the happy couple being like:

Spoiler: Maya

So you could say life built up my resistance in order to withstand LiL's weirdness.

My autistic special interest is human sex and sexuality, so i tend towards being overly open about the subject and pretty much always interested in exploring new discoveries regarding it, but necro is a weird one, like, i might be able to accept a partner who is into it, but the previous occupant of the body would've had to consent to it being used that way or it'd give me the wibblies... i don't think i could participate... doesn't really activate my almonds, but i could watch, it'd be interesting for sure, at least once...
