That someone you don't like is someone I like because of later chapter developments. I'm not spoiling more than that.
I can also see based on some of those characters that there are people who would already fight for their waifus.
Well, it's not a hate list, it's a marriage list. You don't have to marry everyone you like as a person, you just have to admit you will never really get along in a committed relationship. That's of course hard to figure out until you have tried and it's not something one person can decide for the other. I'm sure that if I were to look back at the characters in a later version or by the end of the game, my choices may be different, but different enough? Hard to say.

It’s your second option if Maya Prime’s own understanding and her hard drive analogy are correct: when an iteration died, everything related to his progress with every student other than Maya received a hard reset. These students may have lingering memories or romantic thoughts about Sensei (hence opening up to him unusually faster), but in terms of virginity it would appear to be fully restored as the game implies.
Notably, Ami’s evidence of being a virgin at the start of the game is in fact more ambiguous than the rest of the girls because it happened in the bath and the blood supposedly floating around in the tub looked eerily similar to her long ass twin tails (now I don’t doubt she wasn’t a virgin and I do think there WAS blood, otherwise I have the deal with the reality that Ami somehow really survived a hard reset, or even several hard resets for that matter)

This point is probably being overthought, unless the virginity board is secondary to this discussion which I don't think it is. Not to mention the [girl]_virgin flags which are in the game already.
For whatever reason, all the girls we've had sex with were virgins (ch3 ending and afterward not counting yet until the next appearance of the board. Those will be two different cases of girls known to not be virgins having sex with Akira affecting the board or not)
Also I'm unable to weigh in yet whether sex with the mothers affects the board or not, until I reach the second board event myself.

Ahh reached chapter 3 and Niki's first event What It Takes To Move Forward and wow I continue to be astonished at how much I resonate with the philosophical themes of this story on a daily level.
I'm constantly seeking out dark stories about broken people and tragedy partly because I empathize with the self-loathing part of myself that I struggled with for a LONG time.
But also feel like I'm trying to balance things out because things are...while they aren't perfect. I'm OKAY now...
but there definitely is always a part of me that feels scared, that if things get too good I will have to fall and I'm scared to find out what that would mean.
So I can't let myself be too HAPPY, I must balance it out with suffering even if it's through the lense of a piece of media.
And I'm eating this shit up.
Hearing these sad and traumatic tales really puts into perspective how worse it could be and prevents things from feeling for granted.
It makes all the good moments in these stories (and sometimes real life) feel almost euphoric.
Also it's kinda scary how certain aspects of Niki and Akira's relationship mirror my own first love. We gave each other our virginity when we were still together so that much is different, but she still meant a lot to me and of course it hurt when we fell apart. I'm sure many people had this type of first love, there's a reason why it's a trope but man the writing really nails the feeling of that relationship for me and makes me reminisce.

Well, that's the beauty of a good story. It is fiction, but the way we work through our stuff alongside these characters is very much real. I'm glad the story resonated with you in a good way, I'd wager many of us here have had those moments as well.
Since we don't know how this world work exactly, for now at least, we can only theorize.
But, I'm genuinely against the theories about Sensei being a pillar, or, in other words, whenever he is reset everyone will be hard reset.
Mostly because it will not be interresting narratively, and, as far as I remember, Maya didn't say the world get hard reset when she fuck«reset» Sensei, but that she provoque the reset phenomenon.
And the reset phenomenon, isn't a «hard reset», it's just the end of a «loop».
Or, at least, that's how I understand it.
But, on that line, I'm getting through something else, mostly about the beginning of the chapter 3.

So, with all that, the upcoming dark route, if I have to guess, will be about Ami. And how she's gonna regain control.
Surely, Maya will talk to Sensei about what Ami is, and after that... that gonna be a red route.
A bloody red route.

Either Sel is taking one of his iconic mid-development vacations or he's hunched over a tub of ice cream mourning the loss of David Lynch. Either way Sel is Mia

she says that because it happens, you, the player, just chose not to see it. Ami also talks about it regardless.
which, yeah, I don't know how that fits into "amifingered" being false, cause that'd mean that Akira took Ami's virginity while she was pretending to be Maya right then, while on the "good uncle" path.
yet another example of green path being the one true path for things making most sense.

This is a pretty interesting way to perceive Sekai’s behavior, and I bet there has to be some level of truth in here with this as it helps explain why and how ghost Sekai knows what the gods want from Akira: not because this is somehow a common knowledge to those now reside in a different plane, but it's because Sekai is a former victim of the same divine power.
My thoughts on your questions can generalized into a single assumption: the highest principle of a god's homework is to "learn to feel through someone" rather than simply boiling down to "having sex with minors". As in, though both Akira's and Sekai's homework all involving "taking something that does not belong to you" sound very spot on and fitting to the core idea of the game, it is perhaps that what Sekai was tasked to do wasn't exactly the same as what Akira was tasked to do despite the fact that BOTH of them performed statutory rape. Akira's homework looked like this is might be due to her past relations with Sekai, and following the same idea, how Sekai's homework might also be designed based on a something/someone in her own life prior to meeting Akira; Sekai falling in love with Akira and scarring him for life was the result of her homework and her eventually very twisted love, but not the method to finish her homework.
(My additional question here is that this train of thought can supposedly be backtracked to Yuu, the presumed source of that bloodline and all the weird shit. What was his homework back then if any?)
And all of this might be something apart from just maintaining believers. Having believers is, according to Pareidolia and the content during reset1 and reset2 opening, presumed to be how gods remain in power and alive; how they practice that power and livelihood might be a completely different story (i.e., in a short and vile sentence: if you believe in HOPE, he will live; but he will ask you rape kids as long as he lives because the chaotic power you help bring into being will have to act on something).
Applying all these to HOPE:
- The "taking something that does not belong to you" is a specific task for Akira instead of HOPE's sole working principle, even if Sekai ended up indeed taking something that didn't belong to her.
- It has to be Akira and not some other randoms HOPE can cast some effects on to carry out his will because, at the current point of time, Akira might be presumably the only available special person after Sekai's death
- Transference might be the same as "taking something that does not belong to you" because Akira's been fucking everything since he woke up and apparently HOPE is still not happy with him; it might have to be some selected females like Sana by the end of Ch3 being handed over on a silver plate, so that the warmth can flow back to him (or however Yasu described about the proper way to transfer love back to HOPE). Or, transference and "taking something that does not belong to you" are in fact different things.
(skipping Wires because imo the core belief of the second god has not been well demonstrated yet)
A few frames prior to that dialogue was this glitchy scene, so it wasn't an oversight at least. As for the nature of this contradiction, you can either believe that somehow good uncle route got briefly course corrected to the bad uncle route, or Selly was lazy or unwilling to to make an alternative for those who didn't fuck Ami.
