Then I recommend the lighthearted game called School / Summer Days for you!!!
This game has moments where not even the MC is in control, so moments where the player lacks control exist as well since it would not make sense for the MC to not have control while the player, who is essentially the MC in game, does. The ability to avoid the Denpa elements does not exist as the Denpa elements ARE the main story. Skipping the Denpa elements would be skipping the main story, leaving only side content that would be completely without context, which really screws things up from a writing standpoint.
Fair point, only Sel knows what the ending actually will be like. But I was more referencing to the broader roadmap and the individual purity routes + true ending that at least implies it will not totally end in tragedy. It would not make too much sense otherwise. What that true ending looks like is shrouded in mystery ofc, but it still implies a deviation from DDLC by quite a bit.
Some things can be avoided, but the broader downfall and descend in sadness cannot be avoided (as of what we know so far, ofc).
To describe it a tad better, the player is not the only one in control here and some things you cannot alter at all, you literally have no choice.
But trust me, it is so fucking worth it. This game is so good for many reasons but the one that sets it completely aside from all the rest here is that it doesn't picture a bright shallow world to serve as fap material only. It pictures a deepness and complexity to the characters and their issues that are hardly found in VN/books, let alone "porn" games (forgive me Sel ^^).
It is as real as it gets, with a lot of joy and happiness, but also underlying issues and problems that you oftentimes cannot see immediately but we all struggle with regardless. And this mirror of very actual struggles is what makes the game, above everything else, believable.
God I hate VN and especially porn games here where characters act like completely braindead plot devices and nothing else. I stopped playing quite a lot because the writing and the character depth was atrocious that I could not bear reading any of that longer, despite the erotic parts.
LiL is the complete opposite, while it does contain a lot of erotic scenes that would qualify as fap material, I couldn't care less because I stuck around for the story and the characters and the writing that emotionally touches me which happens very rarely imo. And looking at the other

I don't think Fubata likes that idea...
When you're having a Selebus moment.
Oh boy was that one...fun.
I'm not even sure Selebus knows that far ahead. At least if I were planning, I would only have it planned up to the ending I'm shooting for in the current state of development, but like I said, that's me.
I don't usually think very far ahead unless I have to or on the EXTREMELY rare chance I'm struck with such inspiration that I have the entire project laid out in my head instantly from the very start. This game has made that extremely rare occurrence happen on more than a few occasions. In fact, this game accounts for over 60% of all occurrences of instant inspiration that resulted in having an entire project planned immediately, one of which was a fan project for this game using the character cards provided by a, now unavailable, $10 subscriber benefit, a project I have put on permanent hold, and several of which include stories I already have a major amount of background information written down on, one project was even a Renpy game of my own that may or may not happen once I figure out how to deal with Renpy. My expertise, if you can call it that, is in Basic, which, in the form I know, is dead.
I am in no way saying he does not have the whole thing planned, just saying there's a chance he doesn't.
I couldn't agree more on the 'braindead plot device' part, that really reduces the quality in a major way for the entire project. Even if there are great porn scenes and the graphics are great, if the girls are just 'braindead plot devices,' then the story just isn't going to be that good. Without good characters, the best quality of story you can hope for is an 'okay' story. Story is a major factor in deciding overall project quality and, in a standalone story, it is everything.
I bet she wouldn't, most girls her age wouldn't considering this is high school we're talking about, when weight is a major concern for girls and could result in a lot of emotional episodes.

I'm not sure if anything physical changes; but her memory being reset back to before the beach could possibly be a bad thing, if she doesn't remember the Halloween party.
Ami, Ayane, and Noriko seem severe, because they're constantly letting it show, however, I would say most of the girls in the game have things *as* severe. Miku just *shuts down screaming* at loud noises, Makoto tried to kill herself, Molly has a case of chuunibyuo to rival Rikka, on top of her lonliness/why can't the one I like see me thing, Rin.... I don't think I need to say anything for, Yumi is crushed beneath the weight of who her parents were, and thinks she's incapable of joining society, Maya is outwardly holding up super well, but you know that the weight of being the only one who remembers everything is crushing her, Tsuneyo is simply oblivious to the world to the point of her being super easily manipulated, Futaba struggles with eating disorders due to hating her body, Io so far is probably one of the milder cases, but still suffers from severe introversion, Kirin is incredibly self-destructive and potentially sociopathic, Nodoka I'm gonna go with bouts of extreme obsessiveness given the one scene where she is driven mad by not being able to figure out her literary conundrum, plus super bad insomnia, Sana is dealing with the trauma of losing her brother, and with being the shyest girl to ever shy on top of having to worry about homelessness looming and her mom going crazy from stress, Uta.... I should actually probably be worried about too. She's got her odd quirks, sure, but she hasn't really shown us what her issues are yet. Chika is dealing with abandonment issues, having to be a single parent to her little sister, and dealing with a little sister who could die if she so much as goes outside, the two girls being added in 16 to the class we've barely even seen in comparison to those above, and I have a better handle on what they're bringing to the table than Otoha and Uta.
Anyway, I guess my point is 18 out of the 20 girls have some *serious crap* going on that we know about already (even if some of them seem to be dealing with that crap fairly well), then quirky Uta and seemingly normal lifed Otoha. I fear for these two girls, and for us.

That Yasu girl, she is so misterious, her document contain only blank page and [redacted], but i hope she could getting along well with Maya in the future update or maybe they will attack each other
As for Makoto, in her event Semblance of a soul, i didn't see any blood, does that mean her virginity doesn't revert back? Maya does said that some things are permanent.

Well, that could be true actually, event as an adult, most girl will be mad if we ask their weight.
And once again I'm wondering if you are just trying to respond to as many posts as possible, no matter if you have anything useful to add.
My post was a reference to Nodoka awarding Nodoka Points in increments of five. Those points are a slight fourth wall break, especially in later events when she explains that everyone has points and she likes to count them in increments of five to be different. (Play the update and you may understand.)

You know who i think the yasu girl is? Its the girl holding umbrella while talking to sana. Could be wrong but she's definitely an option.

So has this always been in the upper right corner and I just never noticed it? First seeing it with the 16p1 update.
For the record, I'm talking about the ping, not the day indicator. I know I'm pretty oblivious, but I would think i would notice this before now if it's always been there.

To be fair, I didn't get what you meant at first either. But now yeah, it would have been a fun quirk to have her affection be counted in increments of 5
Considering that people are saying that Yasu has been found to have a white name color ( not sure how, maybe they looked in files ? ) and that girl also has white name, I think it's a given.
I would be more interested in what her relation with sana is. I mean, the first thing that jumped out at me was how similar her and Sana look. At first I tought it was a happy event with a modified Sana sprite. Even their clothes in that event are very similar
I haven't say this yet but letting players to choose their nametags that girls call them is brilliant way to rename sensei over themselves while keeping the stock 'sensei' name in the center of the game. Kudos to Selebus . Such a creative way do it. At first I was going for daddy, babe, master...etc but when I try to use my real name, it worked amazingly well and felt natural in all dialogues

Nodaka only: Increment by 5 but the point will be used up when you claimed it. Just nodaka.

If you're downloading the full game, no, you can replace the old install once you load the new one.

Ok I retract my earlier statement about Sensei improving.
