I'm not too sure how good the official english translation by Vertical is (even though I've had the first volume of Owari sitting on my desk for 3 years-) but reading Kizu in my native language's edition was just as good if not better than the anime, minus the incredible visuals that come with the Kizu trilogy
so I'd also recommand checking out the light novels if anyone is looking for reading material

It was then that Oshino Meme presented Araragi with a choice: "you can be healed apart from eachother, or be forever broken (scarred) together."
And with that choice, concludes the story (monogatari) of a/my/our scar (kizu). Kizu is such a masterpiece.
That one scene, to me, touches on the core of what Monogatari is. And I think that's also why "Kyoto" hit so hard to me. If I can empathize with Sekai to some extent, if her story becomes complex, then it becomes uncomfortable. Monogatari is all about uncomfortable edges to everything, and Sekai/Pareidolia/Nodoka (blatant villains until just recently) all moving in that direction could do a lot of good to LiL's quality.

Since we are now officially 45% through Chapter 4, I can say Sel really turned Chapter 4 around. Because the first couple of updates in chapter 4 were less than stellar.

That assumes he could do it, or even that he was the one that did it. It was never certain and now even less so.
On a previous talk, he advises Akira to not open his eyes until it is done. Now, here's my question, if Akira had sex with Maya prior to this wouldn't he have erased himself regardless? As it happened so many times before, according to Maya? So why does a god even have to be involved in this?
It could be that Pareidolia knew it would happen and instead made sure that it would be Maya that would erase herself, rather than erasing Akira. Just after it's done, he muses about who would even take credit for it.
Furthermore, Pareidolia says that anyone that could bring Maya back wasn't there then. Were they sleeping? Did he hit them over the head with a frying pan? Also, if he didn't erase Maya (he only does it from inside Kaori's body), was a god always peotecting Maya from being erased when she had sex with Akira (instead erasing him?).
lots of questions.

We can only make guesses, this theme tied up with speculations and shizotheories. I can build an answer on one of them.
1. Maya is a shrine maiden of an old god (named with letter "T"), and from the very beginning she served her god faithfully.
At some point she falls in love with Akira (who is most likely also part of the dynasty of deities) and stops believing in her god.
The old god dies, since gods in whom people do not believe cannot exist.
2. A bunch of new false gods appear and replace each other. At some point they decide to resurrect the old god, the details are not important now. Some condition must be done for the resurrection of the old god - for example, impregnate everyone or climb to the top of the hill of naked bodies, doesnot matter now.
3. The current iteration of Akira is different from previous ones - and apparently, it is best suited to fulfill this condition.
It is impossible to return Maya back to her god, especially considering the “real sensei”, she will only get in the way.
Accordingly, the easiest way - to erase her.
yeah I agree with Noob Gamer, Out of Touch is fairly mid imo in both writing and gameplay: it's too verbose, all the drama feels contrived, and the whole thing seems to be centered around the power of friendship
American Psycho is an excellent novel that scratches the exact same itch
Suba Hibi is decent too if you want a VNIn terms of VNs, LiL is inspired by Suba Hibi so that's the closest you'll get
Some other recommendations of games that people haven't mentioned, none of these would be on par with actual novels in terms of writing quality but they don't suffer from engrish, are entertaining as hell, and have fleshed-out stories that are not mere excuses for porn (although the games are certainly porn-heavy):
- Eternum: it's about a hyper-realistic VRMMO, really high production quality
- Ripples: imo the best execution of a certain sci-fi subgenre on this site
- Pale Carnations: hard to summarize - just read the synposis. it's S-tier in terms of how realistic the characters feel - they are very fleshed out
- Artemis: hard to explain without spoiling it but it's fantastic
the dev clearly puts a ridiculous amount of effort into itAnd some games that are just porn-focused fun, no grand plot or anything
- Twisted Memories: a man who lived a pathetic life dies and goes back in time to when he was a teen and maintain/develop the relationships he had neglected when he was younger (aka fucks everyone in a 100km radius xD but it's pretty legit)
- Stormside: you're given a position in a college as being an enforcer of this weird new program, the backstory is pretty dumb but it's basically an excuse to have complete control over the girls and e.g. you get to decide how to punish them, whether you are nice/mean, whether you honor your promises to them, etc. it's got nice branching paths (i.e. meaningful choices) and decent amount of consensual-sex-slave content

stormside has one of the hottest sex scenes I've seen in a game, overall a lot of good sex scenes, but the one with the girl addicted to sex while her roomate is at the door is amazing.yeah I agree with Noob Gamer, Out of Touch is fairly mid imo in both writing and gameplay: it's too verbose, all the drama feels contrived, and the whole thing seems to be centered around the power of friendship

I'm not sure "Kyoto" actually breaks the time line. Why do people assume the "It's probably just Noriko trying to sneak in like she always does" line, has to be her spying on their sexual exploits, it could simply just be Noriko crawling around, trying to get in for standard baby curiosity/exploring and crawling around reasons.
It wouldn't be particularly strange if you say Ami is around a year younger, as an around 1 year old can start to sort of "walk" around and will definitely be crawling around fairly effectively by around that age. The sneaking in line could probably just a bit of a joke from Niki about Noriko always crawling around into places she shouldn't be or something like that. The stuff I think I remember Noriko saying about secretly watching Akira and Niki doing Things can easily happen later in the timeline.
So I don't see why this breaks It? unless I missed something someone has already posted.
Wait... I am dumb!
I realised after I typed this that you would have to subtract Sekai's pregnancy months off Noriko's age in that scenario, If they are 1 year apart. So I can see why it could slightly break the time line. But even then it's still somewhat feasible. Although you might have to lean heavily on the Noriko child prodigy stuff and decide that she might have been a bit ahead of the curve development wise.
Lets say for argument's sake, Sekai told Akira she was pregnant around the end of the 2nd month. (I guess you could go a bit later if you wanted.) If you go off the listed birthdays Niki and Ami are 1 month apart. Then you add 3 months for the approximate date of conception. Then 2 more for Sekai telling Akira (More if you want, 1 possibly 2 at the most I think.). You endup at 6-8 months. Google says baby can start crawling at around 7 months. Then say she is super child prodigy that started crawling around mid 5 or 6 months age. It still fits the timeline I think? Although perhaps it is a bit of a stretch.

The most obvious problem is when you compare it to Spotless Mind. In Kyoto, Akira has been turning down sex for a year. Spotless Mind is the first time they kissed, so it must happen at least a year earlier - plus, they have older character models in Kyoto. And yet, in Spotless Mind Noriko is old enough to be trying to sit in Akira's lap.
I'd also say that even if Noriko has recently started crawling by the time of Kyoto, there's no way her parents are letting her crawl around the house unsupervised. Especially since Niki's bedroom is on the second floor (she talks about going downstairs for dinner). And I don't think you'd characterize a crawling baby as trying to "sneak in" to a room with a closed door, even as a joke.

Echoing what aramaug said, there have been a lot of posts about this already. But in a few words: Noriko's age isn't a matter about a toddler being able to sneak in or not, but that the whole thing makes no sense.
In spotless mind she was old enough to be considered a kid, and Kyoto takes place after it. Even if we assume she was just born in spotless mind, it's already bordering on impossibility for her to be in the same class as Ami.
If we take what would be probable, both from her being classified as a kid, as she herself saying she imprinted on Akira when she was 3 - then the events of Spotless Mind would make her 3, she'd be at least 4 during kyoto, which would make her almost 5 years older than Ami.
Noriko would be a 20 year old, which would make her an actual Imani pretending to be a freshman in highschool.

USER2/Wires is the one who made Akira ‘remember’ the memory with Niki in “Spotless Mind”, correct?
Well, what if the conversation we see and Akira sees during that scene isn’t how the conversation actually played out?
We know specific facts about that night, that Niki herself confirmed in “Me Without You”:
- They were watching anime together
- They were upstairs in Niki’s room
- It was the night of their first kiss
Beyond these three things in particular, is it at all possible that what we’re seeing is a false memory planted into Akira’s head by USER2? Who’s to say Noriko was mentioned at all if she wasn’t meant to be there in their actual conversation? (Not born yet)
I don’t think we have enough information at this current time to really make an accurate assessment on it, so to be honest, it isn’t worth the strain until we get more hints in future updates.

I don't remember them kissing in spotless mind. I watched the replay and did not see it, maybe it cuts off early and I'm completely wrong idk. Also Akira says "Why would I recall something so small and insignificant at the end of Spotless mind.
The Character models look the same to me. The difference just seems to be casual vs more formal clothes because of Christmas? So I don't see why Spotless mind cant happen after Kyoto?
Edit: Apparently the kiss is stated to have happened then in a different event. I guess I'm wrong then.

If there was tampering, for sure there wasn't on the fact that Noriko was downstairs. It would have to be some next level masterplan to include little bits about Noriko on these events just to eventually be like "yeah, no, Niki never had a sister"
Edit: just when you guys thought Noriko couldn't get more pitiful, it's not even that she was always in Niki's shadow, but that she wasn't even there... Also, what rivals, the girl that shouldn't exist vs the girl that never existed.
Also also, Akira just casually imagining both Maya and Noriko arguing during his tutoring lessons, when really just Maya was there hella pissed that she literally gave up on being a god to be with him and this dude keeps talking to some imaginary pink haired slut
