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.

For you? About 8 bananas out of a sandwich. For me? Not even a little... This game isn't traumatizing at all cause it's just fiction, it's interesting but none of it is real... honestly, i kinda lose a bit of my humanity every time i see someone crying in this thread for a completely stupid reason, and to be clear, they're all stupid reasons; Maya died? Whaa. Someone was mean to someone else? Whaa. Nodoka/Niki/Kirin is a poopy pants? Whaa. Closest this game has come to traumatizing was stomachache, but even that was simply an intense experience, i didn't walk away with any scars, just a new insight into a subject i have no personal experience with.

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…

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

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.

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.

Her complaint is because of "how fast I gave in" and "how that makes me look". She hates it because it makes her look desperate, not because she was the first as she usually isn't.


Gonna reply to both of these in one with something that backs up Moonflare's point.
Maya quite early on talks about how when she attempts to speak to Ami about the resets she simply "gets angry" and "demands they talk about something else".

This isn't how it works for anyone else who isn't in the know to some extent, they instead repeat the last line of dialogue or a diversion line.

Not to mention that, again, Ami / Sekai can be seen cropped in one of the rooftop apocalypse scenes hiding behind a wall. Stature wise it looks like Ami wearing her mother's dress. (Im unsure if you see this during bad uncle playthroughs).

Personally, no. I genuinely like this game, the story, and most of all the characters; I want to see how it ends, where it goes, and what happens to all the girls.

I've "quit" a few times due to being unable to handle the more horrific scenes, originally during the cruxifictions of Maya, then again after the Molly incident.
I can stomach it now, wish I didn't have to but it is integral to the plot a lot of the time, where-as usually the stories that have such events are not.

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.
