+1 here. They're characters in a story that I'm witnessing, that's all there is too it. When Maya got popped I was like "damn, exciting twist, wonder where this will go story wise" but otherwise ... I dunno. Good at separation I guess?
This reminds me of a web serial where the protagonist was pretty much the main driver for the events that kept occurring in the story, and was so intertwined with the overall narrative and events of the story, that when it ended, despite the theme and message being very clear, the author himself had to come out and say that the world kept moving and that the protagonist's story was now done and wouldn't cross paths with the next installment.
I wonder if something similar will happen to LiL, in that Selebus may expand it with material unrelated to Sensei, and we, the readers, try to shoehorn Sensei in those stories.

Man ya'll got iron hearts I swear, I was in tears when Maya zipped out of reality.

Red path is increasingly being treated like comedy. A few more of those choices and the game's gonna end with "and then we save maya and then we bust through the barrier and then we save all the unicorns the end"
I got a vivid image of Sensei dying at the end of LiL and then those scenes ending up with some variation of "And then Sensei's corpse appeared"

If there is a good ending by the GODS I will get it.

Selebus can be sure that I will be there like an avenging angel, ever-present and prepared with deadly resolve to collect all my powers of imagination together to contrive a dick into any scene which attempts to yuri-ify my beloved heterosexual heroines who have never expressed any interest in any sex but men (Sensei). That potted plant in the corner? Actually Sensei, waiting for the right moment. That stuffed rabbit between Rin and Molly on the couch? That's actually Sensei hidden by a perception filter by those uncapable of facing such a masculine reality. Tsuneyo wearing a dildo? That's actually Sensei in a Halloween costume. Through the intensity of my worship and desperation I will defy his creed and form a religion which replaces reality. Sensei is dead, long live Sensei!
You can be in tears, even laugh or get angry, while reading, but always be able to cool off your head when closing the book/game.
This is the most important part to stay sane.
I envy those people. Since I also don't feel much of anything from fictional stories anymore (although Lil is still very good at making me feel shit). I miss the impact they once had on me. Isn't it better when you can feel more from a story, isn't that literally the point? Now being "traumatized" might be a bit overkill :ㅤD, but still... I feel like if the scenes you mention didn't leave impact on you, then that would be obviously a bad thing. It would mean that either those scenes were badly written, or you just stopped feeling much I guess.
Or maybe they did leave impact and you are just angry because of annoying comments. If so, then disregard :ㅤD.

Heart sinks from time to time when going through difficult parts, but that's about it. Life isn't idle enough to get scarred by koikatsu girls' misfortune.
I think I whaa for about a minute when Maya died, then I whaa for a tad longer when I realized I spent too much time on Times New Roman and forgot to work on a presentation that would be due in two days.

There’s nothing wrong with feeling an emotional reaction to something that happens to a character. So long as you remember that it’s just a game at the end of the day, I see it as a very normal thing to do.
I can remember several extreme emotions I’ve had of this game very well…
When you tell a story, especially one rich in characterization, your goal is to get the player to connect with your characters. And the connection is precisely what makes some of the drama and ‘holy shit’ moments all the more impactful.
We all react to things differently, though, and that’s fine.
But yes, LiL is a game that is very much trying to illicit emotional responses out of the player, so it’s perfectly valid if you feel a certain way.

Man, I wish it had the same impact on me. I really liked that game and the characters, and yet I felt very little during the ending. What a shame.
I tried that game, like I really gave it a shot. But the endless semi interactive cutscenes where all you do is sit on a horse and listen to dialogue but still have to manually ride killed it for me. Like, either give me action or let me sit back and enjoy a video. But don't make me hold down a button so that I can't relax my hands and than give me exposition for tens of minutes. Uh.
Ahh yes that was it she was upset she gave in faster and easier than everyone else. Not that she was first my bad. Need to do a replay of this again. Might Wait until next chapter though. Been a min since we had a Futaba event hasn't it. Hate how long between events for characters. Like the whole Pedo Haruka for example thing is so far in the past now its barely a thing and never progressed passed the one time thing and a one off convo. Ohh well. Hopefully by the end it'll play out better and someone can edit and streamline this into a vn

Too many comments to reply to without wanting to kill myself so i'll just throw it here and assume the relevant parties will see it.
Yeah, i hear a lot of what you guys are saying and i am not at all saying the game doesn't have it's moments, i do feel things at those moments and that's part of what i like about the story. My problem is the hyperbolic overreactions some people have here. I hate to use the expression cause it's just so overused but my only thought when i see those kinds of comments is "fuck me dude... you reeeally need to go outside and touch some grass... it's just a game... dial it down...".
I mean, 'traumatized'? Really? Really? Fucking hell... i weep for humanity...

There is exactly one way this game could traumatize me, and that's if Yumi only agrees to have sex if dressed like a clown.

There you go Zuko, time to whip up a shot of Yumi in clown make-up getting the Big Penis™.

More CH1 dialogue that might be blatant foreshadowing
