Is there a delay required between the events? I'm on a Sunday where I've skipped forward a couple of weeks and she isn't on my phone list.

Check morning, afternoon, and night, it's missable only if you chose "..." in "No one can see us". The only requirements are seen "Important things" from Ami and being in a weekend.

Not sure if it matters much, but Bonus Ami did say Chapter 3 was meant to be for "petty drama":
So, Chapter 4 should definitely change things up. I'm thinking this chapter has been more of a bonding experience overall, meant to get Sensei attached to things, and Chapter 4 might be when this comes into play:
Also, for those into Normality, don't forget that Bonus Ami is a "normal teenage girl, just like Maya!":
There's a few "normal teenage girl"s in this game.

Check the first post description, some are linked there. I believe other sigs are buried somewhere beneath your feet... I mean, in this thread. Good luck finding those, though.

That's because Hope is probably supposed to be this big bad in the story, yet Sel puts absolutely no effort in hyping him up as one. That's my biggest problem with the story rn. I cannot take any of the gods seriously when none of them even shows any level of threat, and none of the other characters are aware of them. I feel like I would just be disappointed in the story if Hope's threat turned out to be as great as you guys think it will be.My problem with HOPE's warning isn't about if it's going to be absolutely terrifying or just all bluff. Instead it's about how dragged on it is without serious shit happening from an update-to-update player perspective.
I have no doubt that HOPE can and will not hesitate to pull some spicy and disguising tricks if he deems necessary, no matter what he's actual motive is and if punishing Sensei at all is going to help achieve his goal. But it's been such a while since his last warning, and we just......keep gliding from dorm to dorm without a care in the world waiting for the consequence to come, but it still hasn't come because the weather isn't right yet!(I feel like that sentence comes from someone who believed in feng shui too much).
Whatever punishment awaits us ahead, it had better be fun! Strap everyone in that sex machine! Autopilot everyone! Reset everyone except Sensei! Wizard content! (pls don't) At this point I hope it's something that will yield a great pattern break since Sensei being able to return to his sandbox slice of life mode for me is one of the major desensitizers to his deadline.
Hopefully Pareidolia's foreshadowing is something related all of this, that the next reset is Sensei's last one because he's gonna open his eyes like a fucking dunce. Afterwards comes a new chapter and a new phase where everything is fucked beyond belief.
View attachment 2915440
In a nutshell, I basically already give this deadline the finger and ask for some heavy beatings right here right now because I want to be surprised, I want my jaw dropped to the center of the Earth, but it's like HOPE was actually being very patient with me.
My second problem with the "dark" phase is I'm not sure how well can Sel execute it when most of the stuff he writes is cute girls doing cute stuff.
That's because nobody earned the wrath of the gods...yet. We could be seeing snow next reset, even if it is going into spring as that can actually happen in Japan plus the way things are in the game's universe could mess with the weather, so at that point HOPE's wrath will have been earned if Sensei does not do what was ordered. Also, this game has a tendency to NOT lead up to big messed up things, instead going for the fast and hard approach to leave no chance for further warning that something is going to happen besides a few background references like the egg. This, for there to be no setup pointing a bright neon sign at what's coming before it actually hits, is common. He isn't the type of developer to telegraph is every move.
As far as the cutesy stuff we're used to, just because he hasn't done the big stuff yet doesn't mean he's incapable. He's following the lead of some of the most disturbing games and anime of all time, he knows what they do. At best, his showing all this cutesy stuff is to throw us off so we go into the real messed up things off guard for the greatest effect.

Personally, I think the gods are just intended to be popular puppets following the script.
Even HOPE can get stuck on repeat like the girls:

This game kind of reminds me of Madoka Magica in a way. There's cute girls doing cute girl stuff with cute girl magic:

Indeed, it is entirely possible we haven't even seen the big bad yet, that the ones we may have thought to be in that role might just be pawns themselves. Considering we aren't in the dark route yet, I'm going to have to assume that the dark route might just begin with the arrival of this mastermind, something so much worse that the entire situation gets exponentially worse. Something so powerful that nothing, and I do mean nothing, is outside the realm of possibility, that what we've thought of as being a really bad thing some of us may not want to see is only a fraction of how bad this is really going to get. Assuming this theory comes to pass in its entirety, we may actually be seeing the birth of something even more gruesome and disturbing than the rest of the Denpa genre combined plus Berserk, quite possibly the most disturbing piece of fiction to be written by a small developer.

Yeah, I feel like Nao set up a few things, including the "pain yet to come" as it puts it:

Whether or not Sel can stick the landing, I can't say, but I'm definitely interested in watching the realization of what's really going on, "come to light", as Nao would put it:

Also, personally, I'm hoping this game never comes close to shit like the "Crossed" comics. Now, I like to think I'm rather tolerant. But eating babies or crucifying your pregnant children, for more or less just shock value, is kind of a... "I'm out" situation, lmao. Existential Horror is fine though.
Well, that's the main problem, isn't it? The pacing is much more bearable when you're playing the whole thing at once, but even then, the width of this game's character cast, alongside (at least in my opinion) an effort on Selebus' part to not rush things (which is generally good, don't get me wrong) means that when you're playing update to update the pace is glacial, even with what I would say a decent amount of content pumped out every month, at least when compared to most other games.

I was so excited to have found a game with writing on par with, or potentially comparable to Black Souls. Nothing else on this site (or in modern fiction entirely) compares to it in my view, and so I fell hard for the slowburn that is LiL almost immediately, sinking hours into reading the walls of text that came with it.
Then came the Patreon-rant fourth wall break. Then another. And another.
In my opinion, no work of art can ever truly be separated from artist. An artist and who and what they are is just as essential for contextualizing the art itself, at least in my eyes. Which makes it such a damn shame since the "art" went from so good to so bad that I had to stop playing the game and just ask myself "what the hell is the artist rambling about" instead of what the character is rambling about.
Now instead of actually playing the game and experiencing said "art", I'm instead reading through a thousand pages of F95 thread text because the rambling here, on porn-pirating site, is somehow more unnerving and thought-provoking then the rambling in-game. At least it seems necessary to do so now in order to fully understand the game; that is if I ever bother to pick it up again.
A bit of a gravedig so apologies if you get a ping or whatever for this. This statement just resonated with me the most, wherein I am almost wishing I never was recommended this game at all after reading what you had to say.

As someone else who came here from Black Souls, I can definitely see what you mean.
Personally though, I just press the skip button when stuff like "Raid" shadow whatever shows up. I subject myself to it the first time, but like the recent Bojack Horseman stuff, I'm thinking it's just there to "set a tone", and more or less intended to be filler, so that things don't feel too monotone. What's being said isn't important as far as I can tell. Some of the 4th wall stuff can be interesting, but it does seem more interesting for the writer than the player at times.
The story itself is still good though, and sometimes I even wonder what is more interesting: the story or what exactly the writer was thinking when they wrote it.

Hasn't his Subscribstar support completely stagnated since this thread got quarantined? I know Vehemental commented on it a while back but i've never bothered to keep tabs on it myself.

I do agree with both of you that the dark stuff can happen. Ultimately, I don't really care about how dark this game can go, but what matters is if that dark stuff is meaningful towards the story and character progression, rather than just being there for cheap shock value.
I'm just somewhat disappointed because I think the whole mystery/gods side of the story could have been expressed in a more engaging way instead of being cryptic all the time, it's hard to take it seriously when the vast majority of the game is slice of life/drama and the protagonist of this "mystery" story isn't even interested in the mystery...
Regardless, I still trust in Sel's writing ability. He's had some really good events in Chapter 2 and 3 and the improvement in his writing is noticeable. I'm interested in seeing how will he approach this "dark" phase.
