He could do some things with the resets given his immunity, but he doesn't know what the next reset will bring or whether it will reverse any fatal errors he makes, so he would have to be extremely careful there as well.I was saying that mostly because of the hate I have for him. That said, he seems like the type of person to see just how far he can go with the whole reset scenario.

Biased to what exactly? To the fact that he is a terrible excuse of a human being. He's said several times nothing he does with the girls or the world even matters. But I was saying it off hand, it still doesn't change the fact that he's the worst.

ssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Biased to specifically the example you gave, and I addressed just now. I didn't say he wasn't awful in my post. Thats not what I was talking about.
Indeed, calling him a shit person or whatever isn't bias, it's what he really is.
This is NOT a game where the protagonist is some goodie two shoes that could never do anything to harm or bring harm to another being. This man we play as is what you would find as the picture in just about any illustrated dictionary, yes, they exist, for the word scum.
He is the absolute worst of the worst and is only starting to change a little over an extended period of time because of what he is experiencing in the story of the game.
Just because this change is happening DOES NOT disqualify him as a shit person or the scum of Kumon-mi.

You know there's some nuance between a "goodie two shoes" and the "absolute worst of the worst"... right? The world (either the real or the game one) isn't just black and white.
And if in order to defend your point you have to insinuate that the other person's point is the most extreme stance you could take in the other direction (i.e. calling Sensei a goodie two shoes, cause he's definitely not), that's called using a strawman, and is usually the sign of a very weak argument.

Devil's advocate here, again. I don't think it's that hard to identify with Sensei. And I still don't see him as the almost infinitely bad person.
If tomorrow I, same as Sensei, wake up in another world in body of teacher, who's surrounded by pretty girls, with one almost throwing herself at me right away, others being mostly friendly, with most men conveniently missing, etc ... then "fuck yeah, I'm building a harem!" will be one of my first thoughts. For that I blame games like this.
Right from the start I could assume that I'm fucked. Me appearing in this world would be something I couldn't explain. But I'd know that the same force that brought me could remove me from it at any time, turn me inside out, or do anything beyond my imagination to me. Can you imagine knowing that and just living a normal life? Being cynical as hell would be one defense mechanism I'd definitely use. So anyone reading my thoughts would not get a pretty picture. I'd be much less ambitious than Sensei, more careful, etc. But different people, different personalities, maybe he was some 'must fuck all' playboy type in his original life, and it stuck with him. As a player, I can get over that.
With the knowledge that horrible end may be just a second away at any time, why even hold back? Other than for strategic reasons, i.e. that it may not happen that fast, and because the world otherwise functions, meaning for example that I could end up in jail, if I'd go overboard. And the more I'd discover that I can question whether anything is real or not, so in turn whether anything I do matters, the less reasons I'd have for that. So manipulating few girls by being nice to them, and without really trying to hurt them, is not that bad in this context. It would be bad IRL, because everyone knows, even without personal experience, that harems don't work very well, because people get jealous and stuff. But maybe it's a flaw that can be fixed, and where better try it than in a world that's maybe not real anyway?
I think this is important aspect. Sensei doing what he's doing in what he'd think is normal world, that would make him very bad. But he knows very well that there's nothing normal about the world he's in. It changes things. It doesn't make him good. He's pushing the limits, but given the circumstances, I can excuse that. The lack of clearly negative motivation is good enough for me.
I deliberately don't give too much importance to "happy" scenes, because I'm not sure what to think about those. Is it supposed to be real, or some nightmare, hallucinations, or whatever else could it be? The thoughts in there, are those really his? I don't know how to work with that.

There is, but none of it is in this game except during this change he's experiencing thanks entirely to being around the girls. This guy started out as black as a person gets morally and is only just starting to turn a tiny bit grey because of them.
I was in no way insinuating that was what anyone thought of him, or at least that was not my intent if I managed to. I was simply making it clear that this game isn't one with that type of protagonist, though that should be pretty clear already.
He is as close to being a villain protagonist as a character can get without actually being a villain right now and he most definitely seemed to start out as one minus the truly evil intent they often come with.
While trying to build a harem of girls with mental, medical, and emotional issues while each of them doesn't know the others are doing things with him isn't the same as world domination or some other truly evil mission, it is still within the realm of evil, just not villain level evil.
I don't know about you, but my inner monologue is self correcting. So if I think something gross or unkind or cruel I tend to then think "shit that was fucking reprehensible, where did that come from? I'm glad no-one can read my mind, I'm better than that."
Our boy doesn't do that, which suggests that while he does have a filter and is capable of self restraint, he doesn't really aim to be a better person than his basest desires. Or maybe he's incapable which sort of makes him a sociopath. He has engaged in a little self reflection, but doesn't really seem that interested in being "good" beyond the rewards acting good can get him.
He's not like the most vile person ever, but he's a bit (a lot) of a shit.

No one was saying that he was, so I don't know why you even brought it up (other than as a strawman).
He's not specifically going after girls with issues though. That would be scummy, but that's not what's happening.
He's going after everyone, just so happens that everyone in this
For example in Futaba's case letting her continue to feel bad about her body and telling her that "He's the only one who could love her" would serve his purpose of getting with her much better than trying to improve her self-image and confidence, which is what he's actually doing.
I think you could quite reasonably conclude that he is a villain. No one in history ever thought they were evil, they all rationalise their actions some way.
Imagine you were Ayane's dad and you found out just what her teacher had been doing. You'd not be concerned by the nuances of his motivations
Sensei just comes across as really broken and I still assume he's the same teacher the girls knew from before, he's just had his psyche shattered by something intensely traumatic or something along those lines. He claims to have come from another world but we don't get any memories from that prior life he's supposed to have lived. That and the lack of curiosity or even agency (he manipulates his way around each girl and event but never really initiates anything in the game) speaks to him having been through something so awful that he no longer believes anything matters.
Of course there's a deeper story being told through the secret scenes and I'm curious to see how they end up connecting to the main story, but I'm enjoying Sensei's character and the internal inconsistencies in his character make a lot of sense for someone who's been horribly traumatized.
Edit: It's also an interesting conversation as to whether Sensei is actually the protagonist here. He doesn't really initiate events and just kind of goes along with them and tries to manipulate them to his advantage, but any action that furthers the story or moves the world seems to be initiated by one of the girls. Maybe kissing Yumi against her will but even then he claimed someone else took control.

Everyone here is making great points discussing Sensei's character and it's all really interesting, but I just gotta say:
Sensei is a boomer. Or "boomer-esque" if you will.
Like c'mon, he hates Christmas, he told Yumi she should get a paper route of all things, he thinks Shrek is a bad movie.
If it wasn't for the fact that he has better things to do I could vividly imagine him watching (but never actually enjoying) hours of TV shows where the lead makes joke after joke about hating his family/work/life to the tune of canned laughter.
So yeah, I diagnose him with boomeritis. This has been my extremely important and serous analysis of Sensei's character, thank you for coming to my TED Talk etc. etc.

LiL has been solved. Pack it up, everybody. Game over.
Exactly
It was never meant as a strawman or targeted at anyone specific, it was just a general statement to make it clear the kind of person we are playing as. He has no moral compass, he's not about to rob a bank, but he's not about to save a puppy stuck in a tree either unless it gets him to his goal, which is to get laid by any and every girl in town.
As Cerpin said, he is very much the type that can filter and restrain himself when necessary to keep from shooting himself in the foot, but he is in no way a good person or even trying to be. The ONLY time he is good is if he knows that is his best option in order to get to his goal.
This is what we see in his interactions with girls like Rin.
He's not specifically targeting anyone, really, the girls just happen to have issues. But what he IS doing is going behind all of their backs to get with each of them in secret. Only a couple know or suspect he is doing something beyond platonic with another girl and they were mostly through factors he didn't prepare for like Kirin at the beach.
He is only trying to help them because it is the best path to his goal. If helping was harmful to his goal or not the best path, he wouldn't do it. None of what he has done so far has been detrimental, especially with Rin specifically. We've seen her wrists, so we know she could slip into suicide attempts with just one push. In order to make sure she DOESN'T do that, he is holding back with her and trying to help her to step away from that cliff she's on the edge of. If he didn't and she got the one push she needed to finally go all the way with an attempt, his goal would automatically be a failure.
With Futaba, he's helping to improve her self image so that she sees his help and develops feelings so that she allows him to have her easier or, even better, gives herself to him actively. That has been paying off.
It is much easier to get a girl to be willing to give herself or unwilling to resist than it is to simply take what he wants, especially if the girl has a potentially deadly issue like Rin's and especially when his target is an entire group of them.
When you have a bunch of girls as close as they are, the last thing you want is to start bad gossip, that stuff spreads extremely quick and it could ruin everything with everyone else if he were to try and fail a negative approach and the target blabbed.
Not quite, he doesn't want to hurt them necessarily, he just wants to have them all. Listening primarily to one's base desires isn't villain behavior, but it most certainly is on the evil end of the spectrum.I think you could quite reasonably conclude that he is a villain. No one in history ever thought they were evil, they all rationalise their actions some way.
Imagine you were Ayane's dad and you found out just what her teacher had been doing. You'd not be concerned by the nuances of his motivations
You're right about Ayane's dad, but I don't think he would be concerned with anything other than a man porking his daughter. He'd have player Sensei's head if he found out, regardless of her letting him. The only thing that would stop him is Ayane admitting she started it, which she likely would to protect player Sensei.
No, it is made clear at the beginning that the person they knew is not the one we play. The thing with the other world trope is you don't always get to know what their previous life was like.
As for those 'happy' scenes, those actually are the main story in conjunction with the actual main event list events.
As for who the protagonist is, by definition, it is the one we play as , which is him in this case. It is pretty clear that what we see on the surface is only the tip of the iceberg, there's something that truly does bear villainous intent working in the background and it has been screwing with player Sensei this whole time, including a certain kiss. The Yumi kiss was actually forced on him, he did not have control of himself at that point.

My current working theory is that Sensei is in fact Nozomu, aka God, and has created a Matrix kinda deal for himself as entertainment. Because if you're all powerful what else are you gonna do? There's a reason we don't always play Minecraft in Creative mode....

Hello,
Nice to meet you again, did you still play the game? Cause i need some some little tips.
I Have not update the game for a while,so i don't any new event, and is there some event i need to avoid for another event? Like the Chika one?
There are some sex scenes, but no penetration for her yet.
No, nothing like that, just don't say no to sex, except avoiding the one event for Chika until it is safe to see it, and make sure to grind lust up to a certain level so you don't miss any lust scenes.
