Actually, there was also that one time that the game gives you the option to change users and the scene keeps looping until you change users so this basically establishes the fact that he is in a full-dive VR and was supposed to be an avatar for the actual player but I'm not too sure about the avatar part because of Maya. She almost immediately recognized that Sensei is not the Sensei(too quickly to the point it's suspicious) and did not give us enough reasons to why she believes him to not be him as well as the lack of reaction on her part from the completely unexpected and never before seen change almost as if she's seen it hundreds of times. This reminds me of the novel "gates of revelation" and the movie "Free guy"(though I've yet to watch it at the time of writing this) where the NPC(s) gained self-awareness. My guess is that Maya is the first or one of the first ones to gain self-awareness and has been living in a constant loop. Along with her, the MC is also constantly living in a loop. Now, based on his role this creates several possibilities. Now from here things can diverge based on a few assumptions.
Assumption 1) The MC is a player that got stuck and can't remember things very well due to the machinations of the bugs(self-aware NPCs, maybe she/they don't wanna follow the script anymore). The problem with this theory is that there are multiple users. Why are they there? maybe to get him out by helping the player finish the game since they can't forcefully eject him from the game.
Assumption 2) The MC is here to solve the bugs through the body of Sensei. You can guess why they would be motivated to mess with him as they might not want to get, well, solved. The problem with this is that, again, the other users. What are they trying to achieve by completing the routes? maybe they don't know exactly where those bugs are?
Assumption 3) The MC is an NPC that's gaining self-awareness. The problem with this one is that he has another, though incomplete, set of memories.
Assumption 4) The MC is being put through this simulation to extract certain information or for psychological treatment like the movie "Ghosts of war"

So, someone is definitely messing with him. I mostly suspect Maya because of the previously mentioned reasons as well as her constant dislike. Though the thing that tipped me off was the incident with the scarves. Seemed like she wanted them away from her and was hoping he would not find them. But he keeps finding them. Though based on her reaction to the scarves, I'd say we are playing the loop number 10 or less.
Also, considering how much of a troll the author seems to be, I consider the possibilities of Ami being the main girl as a red herring.
Also, since everyone is throwing around personal theories, my take is that OG Sensei got involved with Maya, his niece's best friend, which set off his yandere niece's yandere-ness, which resulted in Ami murdering Maya in the basement of the school, which caused OG Sensei to yeet himself off the roof, which is where the game starts. It would seem some entity, perhaps out of pity, perhaps as a punishment, perhaps out of boredom, stuck everyone in this never-ending purgatory school year for reasons TBD.
As to what New-and-Improved(?) Sensei is, there's too much conflicting information right now to make an informed judgement from isekai-style hints to a lot of mentions of trees and wires. I would like to note, however, that his eyes are and have always have been identical to Makoto's when she peered too far beyond the veil. I feel there's an important implication there.

TL;DR Player Sensei is orignial sensei, HOPE is Sensei & Maya's dead hopes, a Nozomu is you and everything is terrible.

I don't know if anyone else noticed it, but Nozomu is Sensei's dead brother, that's the name on his gravestone anyway.
I have a few theories rattling around, one of the more interesting, but probably not super likely ones is that Maya is actually Sensei's child with Ami.

I have many theories on different aspects and several on this one alone. My biggest take right now on this specifically is largely the same as yours, but the murder attempt was on old Sensei, not on Maya. It was less the 'eliminate the threat as a warning to others' approach and more the 'if I can't have him, no one can' approach that yanderes pull as a last resort because old Sensei found out about Ami trying to scare Maya off, making him a threat. The thing is that he survived with a sort of amnesia from the fall, a bonk to the head, especially one large enough to cause injury, has been known to induce amnesia. It's a miracle he survived at all, honestly. The fall was witnessed by Maya and, having come to the conclusion he would not survive, she became the way she is now to cope subconsciously. However, he beat the odds and survived, but his memories and personality did not. He is slowly regaining bits of his old self over time and that is what we see when he does show a softer side.
They exist in the same time while looking around the same age and attending the same school in the same class, there would have to be some pretty odd temporal fuckery going on if Ami was Maya's mother.

Yup. It's why I said "not super likely". I think it's safe to say that there's *some* temporal fuckery going on already, given some of the events, however. Plus Maya's super protective of Ami and stuff. There are better theories, and many more likely ones, but I like the brain twisting nature of this one, so I keep it tucked away for safe keeping.

Damn, Tsuneyos 7th event (Seeds), I laughed so hard, like, man, thats gold xD
You know, if Tsuneyo really wants to go into comedy, she'd be great in the "straightman" role of a comedic duo.

Same. I'm fluent in Japanese so it took me a hell of a long time to figure out why this was such a big deal (if your pronounce it the Japanese way it's not inappropriate, if you pronounce it like an american thanSo, was anyone else today years old when theycame uponsuddenly realized what "Kumon-mi" means randomly while going about their day?

God I'm so fucking sick of Maya's shit. Just get to the part where she realizes that I'm literally changing the game's design and stop her from being a bitch.
I prefer the machine cucking me over the Other Maya than I do her.

(Because I assumed the "kumon" was 苦悶 for anguish)
For me, Maya is best waifu
