Okay, finally done with both updates. They were excellent. Although I didn't particularly enjoy the puzzles, seeing they're generally about inputting stuff you've seen on the screen at some point. Since I don't take notes when playing LiL, I had to cheat. Thanks to that, I could enjoy the weird banter between Sensei and the strange characters commonly present in these puzzles without stressing about answers. Consequently, the experience itself wasn't that terrible. I can't fathom grinding the currency in Sensei Quest, for example.

For some reason, the God of Clowns made me particularly uncomfortable; still, I could not ascertain why.

Having seen Io and Sensei's exchange during the Halloween party, I was tremendously satisfied with my choice of making Sensei leave in Stomachache. Io's smile is precious and beautiful. If Sensei loses control of himself around her and breaks his promise, I'll likely drop the game.

Touka's costume was my favorite, and I loved Yumi's conversation with Makoto. They had plenty of interactions during these two updates: seeing them being friendly is endearing.

More revelations about Kaori and an "h-scene"; Very nice. She's cute, as always.

Nozomu was a bad guy, after all. And it seems that Ami is indeed Akira's daughter. Miu is Ami's granny, and I assume the house by the lake is hers. I initially thought it was Saki's, so this revelation makes me wonder if Ami had much contact with Saki. Probably not.

This, of course, opens another can of worms regarding the Arawaka bloodline and incest. Once again, I'm reminded of Sensei's conversation with Ami at the hot springs and its significance. What was the bad news she refrained from presenting to Sensei? In this scenario, the reasonable answer is that, likely, the news that he already fucked his half-sister, so it was stupid to care about blood.

I once had a theory that Ami knew much more than she let on. I think it involved something I saw in Lamb Legs (possibly we see the "True Ami" who's a kind girl [living outside the Well?] No idea), but I've long since forgotten the details. Regardless, it's confirmed that she knows a lot, possibly more than anyone non-deity (some contenders would be the Maya Ayane meets, the one wearing a hoodie, and Nodoka). It's no coincidence that 今 (Nao) looks like Ami but with large irises.

It was certainly interesting seeing Sekai in the flesh and in action. What Maki and Makoto's dad (I forgot his name) did to young Makoto was disgusting and sad. Expected better of him (Makoto had praised him a lot, from what I remember).

Seeing Yumi finally join the squad was fantastic. Yumi has been particularly great lately, and her addition to the gang will increase the amount of exposition she gets. I was looking forward to it since she started showing signs of noticing something was amiss. Here's to more Yumi in the future. Her clone (spawned by HOPE) certainly looked sexy in Kaori's catgirl costume. A lot of untapped potential there. Something that includes dark eyeliners might be a good fit since it complimented Touka.

Wait shit, do you have the one after that? I thought the new invite over events were coming in that update but I don't see them now.
Dc345 made a post awhile back with the next 5 changelogs. Here’s where I got them from if you wanna look at them:

There are 3 Headpat events scheduled for 0.47 so Invite Over Events are definitely making a comeback. The ‘senseisad’ variable is now finally gone after the Halloween chain too. All that was needed was for Pareidolia (one of his coping mechanisms) to disappear from his mind I suppose.

Yep. Though the mayablock added immediately afterwards scuttled my idea of her getting the next invite over treatment. So either they're adding headpats to people you could already invite over but couldn't pat, which I don't know if they exist. Or fixing people who look different like Ami.

And if I'm reading in between the lines good enough, 0.48 has 3 animations which means someone new is getting invite over scenes / sex. Everyone in that update but maki isn't getting fucked, and of the non fuckees Yumi and Uta have 3 events so if someone's getting laid and initiated my money's on those two.

Screw the update, someone loredrop how Kumon Mi is actually in Estonia
This theory is not completely unfounded, as the game definitely has some obvious inspiration from Estonian Mythology, but that doesn't mean that the game is set in Estonia, same way there is a lot of egyptian and christian references, yet the game isnt set in Egypt or Israel either.

Holding out hope Noriko is one of the headpats. She has a pajama outfit already in the game’s files that you can’t obtain by normal means unless you unlock it with URM. We haven’t been able to invite Noriko over at all since she got cucked in the closet by Ami. I’d say it’s high time we get to do that again.

And while I’m on the topic, someone mentioned a Rin headpat variable being present now. It definitely wasn’t there before, so Rin may very well finally get some scenes very soon as well.

Fingers crossed.

I would be perfectly fine with plapping Yumi or Uta either one. They’ve both certainly been built up enough, and now that Yumi retained her memories past the reset, maybe her entire outlook on life will finally change.

My bet’s on Uta, though. She has no reason to hold off on taking things further with Sensei anymore now that every possible worry of hers has been extinguished. They defo fucking. Clock it.

The animations in that update aren't going to have anything to do with the events of that update. Animations lag behind in-game events by a minimum of 1-2 months, and lately even more than that. We have several girls that are overdue for an animation based on past events, and if you go back and look at the planned roadmap for the last 4-5 updates, you'll see that most of them had animations initially planned that never made it into the final release. So there's a backlog.

Sorry for double post, but...
Wtf is that, lmao. I found it and I died from the first thing "KUMON-MI IS IN ESTONIA"
Interest list, I wonder if this is from the Lilcord. There's a few theories we definitely discussed on here, some that are simply facts and obviously some foul ones.
I adjusted the ratings to how I interpret them.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
So a few notes:
  • By "Daisy" it refers to Himawari I suppose. My guess is that the theory is old, or else I don't know how they'd come up with the name Airi? Maybe during my replay it will become clear.
  • I really like the "All girls are parts of Maya given form" theory as it is something I thought of myself, I don't remember if I ever mentioned it here. Everyone is talking about Maya not being real, having no personal history pre-Akira and that she does not belong. Nobody seems to think that she doesn't belong because she is the only real character, maybe aside of Akira and possible a few others. Like all of the girls are just created for the simulation that represent different parts of Maya. I don't know, I like it.
  • D&D sessions being prophecies for future events is interesting. There's been this Yasu interaction that was kind of like a prophecy I guess, but much less on the nose. Has anyone looked back at those and seen any correlation to later events yet?
  • The last theory in my list is clearly the worst one though, I don't know how anybody could come up with that, truly mind boggling.

Huh...wow, this update is interesting and I not even done with it. From my understanding currently, they were sent to different parallel worlds where things are different in various ways. Probably depending on actions taken and what not. This could mean the original universe has different worlds for jumping between them, and then there are so alternative universes with their own world. Maybe.

I'm inclined to believe that because each alternare world can have its own cycle of resetting from each other, and I think they all can slip as well? To different places. But this got way more whacky, with different outcomes, in what should be similar events. Of course it could just be one universe, with alternate worlds in it as well. Either way, this is getting real interesting and sci-fi.

Also wtf was that brutal Nodoka murder man...Ami really is psycho. But if she's resetting the world/is responsible, how the hell? Obviously she is aware of what Maya went through for one. So either she sent them all through that and is responsible, or she is just also keeping her memories and is abusing that shit more than Maya could ever be aware of. Wow...even more confusing cause she's firstly stabbing nodoka, but also was aware with Maya, and then with Ayane. Is she just aware of all that..

Last thing is, I guess Nodoka is completely gone now? Another one will replace her, which is sad. She was figuring the most out, but it looked as if she gave up towards the end. But this does I think mean that Maya was basically sent elsewhere, to a different world

A tin foil hat theory for the pile: Ami said she had the inate sense to tell if somebody is a neice. Maybe Bio-Ami 's sense went off when Nodoka hugged Sensei. But since Bio-Ami isn't a neice in this time line but a daughter maybe she sensed that Nodoka was infact Sensei's daughter, thus prompting her to kill Nodoka to get rid of the competition.

She just had to stop looking for answers. It was really that simple but she kept looking for answers. Luckily in the end she (and no one else) realized she needed to stop looking for answers.

One thing this update also puts into question is that, so far, we were under the assumption that all (hard) resets start at the same time, roughly, which is the start of the freshman year at Kumon-mi High.

With the Ami Happy Ending timeline, it appears that either:
  • The resets can begin at an earlier point in time, e.g. before Sekai dies in the car crash
  • The resets always start at the same time but the past can be different
  • Ami has the ability to conjure Sekai in flesh despite her having died and manipulate others into thinking it's really her and that it's perfectly normal for her to reappear in her life
I'm pretty sure Prime Maya would have mentioned if either of the first two options ever occurred in one of her timelines, probably also that Sekai ever appeared as a living being. This gives me more reason to believe that this alternate Maya (I already forgot the nomenclature we agreed for her) > Prime Maya in terms of knowledge and experience.

Also, I'm not entirely sold on the different versions of Maya being just the same exact person at a different stage of time. Otherwise, how would Prime Maya be as shocked at seeing herself getting raped by Ami during that Halloween Scary Room event, if it happened to her in a (admittedly) distant past? Surely it would have left a mark on her and would be a crucial memory.

I just really hope Selebus doesn't trip himself over this web of time travel and timelines and alternative universes shenanigans like many authors do when attempting to incorporate such things in their stories.

Maya Prime would never admit or hint at it, cuz she was too afraid to remind Sensei about his past. And we don't know (or I don't remember already, xd) if Alternative Maya Prime is afraid of it as well.
