Did the mc really just fucking ask "what is XD"? My god... I feel like people his age used to use that stuff back in the day, how the fuck does he not know this stuff?
I think it is just Sensei being Sensei.

Walked into Yasu's room for that repeatable hangout thing and OH MY GOD why are you so close? Stop it!
Yasu is a cute girl, isn't she?

Has anyone been keeping count to the number of times "that one thing(the kiss with Yumi)" has been referenced?
Considering how much you mentioned it... I think it is you who has been keeping the count.

Sometimes I wonder how this wonderful this game would be if the mc was at least somewhat competent in dealing with people.
Alas, the game is about Sensei being shithead.

Ew, Io made a disgusting robot for Sensei! Ew! (throws on ground) Note that this did not actually happen... but what if it did tho?

Oh god damnit... Now I have to name a robot toy. Just my luck. What a horrible day.
DID YOU CALLED MY AND IO's SON DISGUSTING?

I feel like a good maid cafe maid could be a good idol and vice versa. Also it feels like if he likes maids he should like idols too, right? But apparently not.
As self proclaimed J-pop idol enthusiast, I would say that being an idol and a maid in maid cafe are very different things. Yeah, all of them need to be cute and/or beautiful and play a respective role. But even most underground idols have to work with more people than most popular maids can interact with. But at the same time maids interact more intimately with their fans, while idols have a respectable distance from their fans. Yet idols are more restricted in EVERYTHING, while maids have far more freedom in that area.

Damn, I forgot about this Ami hairstyle. The long ponytail is looking cute on her.
Whenever I see that one, I just get reminded of the fact it could be used as a weapon. So while you find it cute, I find it as her secret weapon.

Man I just wanna know when the name will pop back up again, I'm still waiting for Io to know her son's name is Io.

It feels wrong honestly, like they should've swapped places.

By the way if Stomachache is the worst (not in terms of quality) event so far, what's the best/most wholesome? I'm thinking There Is A Light That Never Goes Out.

Feels like it was only yesterday that I found out one of the melancholic tracks that I liked listening to (painisreal.mp3) was just an edited sex track (Asobeatsex6.mp3)

I think selebus dropped a huge hint about how all of these are just in senseis mind. and he is in some sort of mental hospital.

I hate when paranormal mystery novels end up being "logical"
but if this isnt true then nadokas story doesnt make any sense

I both like and dislike this. Because I hate the dog's dream concept. Yet it sounds logical, xd

In terms of melancholic, itsingsinitssleep.mp3, was the most impactful for me in terms of recently.
It's first appearence was also in one of the rare events where you can undoubtfully see that Ami has some kind of control over Akira.

There are a lot of hints that the actual story takes place only in Akira's head.
His talk with Chinami for example, what lies beyond the walls. A monster, behind the monster another monster. Smells like he's afraid to face reality.
Not to forget "This town/city has two halves", like a brain/mind.
The walls being the border of his mind/brain/skull, going beyond meaning trying to wake up.

For me, the most probable outcome for the story is that it all happens in his head while he is still in coma for whatever reason (Sekai's death or whatever).
Technically it will also give Sel an excuse for dropping lore points and that most of the mystery does not need to make sense.
It's like only story start, end and some sprinkles within that have some meaning, while most of the story is neglectable.

Whatever the ending of LiL will be, it won’t be the dream/coma/it’s all in Akira’s head ending.

It’s been deconfirmed by Selebus on at least two separate occasions that I could find:

I read those Nodoka lines as more of a staring down the barrel of the camera 4th wall breaking moment. She wonders if she is a voice inside someone's head. And she is, in that very moment and in general, a voice inside you, the readers, head. She wonders if there is someone that takes shelter in the idea of her existence. "The idea of my existence" well that is essentially what a character is really. The idea of someone that you construct from the words on the page and the "voices in your head". It is a love story, but it extends through the 4th wall. She wonders if there is someone reading it that loves her character. And the line about "is it possible to fall in love with them -- enjoy the company you create rather than the company you find" is kind of a thesis of a meta commentary of the genre as a whole, fiction in general or even in some ways everyone playing the game.

I don't know the literary terms to say what I'm thinking properly but maybe that makes some sense. Whether her character is or is not explicitly speaking to the reader ultimately doesn't really mater. It still fits with what her character is doing and thinking. That is, trying to figure out the nature of the world they are in, ect. Or to word it differently, it would not be out of character for such thoughts to cross her mind.

There's also two 'story locations' that would count as "trapped in an empty space with little more than the voices in your head." where you could "enjoy the company you create rather than the company you find?"

The Room With Clocks, and the Wishing Well itself. What he would be doing in either place is still up for discussion but I wouldn't count the kumon mi experience being a dream and him waking up for happy events actually inside either location the same as "it's all a dream".

Technically if the wishing well grants a wish to someone using it, I'm not convinced Sensei used a wish, he's just wrapped up in the wish. (I think it was Ami)

I wouldnt trust his words easily.
It is not like he can says "ok guys it was all in sensei's mind go home I wont milk u 5 more years"
he needs to keep customers hungry.

and schizophrenia can really be considered dream ending? dunno I hope he isnt lying

Whilst your idea sounds possible the truth is Selly's ego would not allow for him to end the game with 'it was all a dream', such an ending would be so far beneath him in his eyes that it would even be beneath him if played ironically, as a deliberate slap to the face of the audience he already treats as beneath him... whatever the ending ends up being, it won't be just some delusion of a guy in a padded room.
