Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.48.0] [Selebus]

[dark7337]

I feel bad about involuntarily traumatizing Yumi, but she's such a bitch that I feel less bad about it in the long run

I'm convinced the 'real' Sensei is still the core of who current Sensei actually is. He's repeatedly pulled random things from his memory that a reincarnation simply could not have done (pulling literary questions out of his ass at the drop of a hat for instance).

That being said, i have to wonder just how different OG Sensei and current Sensei actually are in behavior. Obviously theres the whole 'do whatever you want in class, IDGAF' but that aside, even Niki and Noriko seem to think he's the same old (lovable) dickhead they knew years ago.

GAH this game is a mindfuck, so much going on, hard to keep track of it all!

Yeah, I get the feeling that for whatever reason, he pulled his own Bluejay, and blanked his own memories out, at least that's the vibe I'm getting.

Or had them reset like a certain shrine maiden's nearly were in her test of courage

That one still hits me hard...

Didn't even think about that, good catch.

If Karin gets a full route and being involved with Kirin ruins it I'll gladly make a playthrough just for her. I'm starting a second playthrough and thinking about which girls can I reject to spare them from some of the worst fallout?
I already know I'm rejecting Ami at every chance I can get cause she's awful and it's just disturbing.
I won't get Ayane's lust up to 10 for prisoner to spare her from being Kirin'ed.
I might reject Kirin totally too (keeping things open for her sister and minimizing the chances of hurting Karin if she finds out about being involved with her sister)
Probably not get the blowjob from Maki, and will probably turn down Haruka because of the guilt she feels cheating on her husband.
"Moral" Sensei.
Bluejay made me kind of regret going anywhere with Makoto, cause obviously her relationship with Sensei fucked her up but I don't know if you can avoid that by avoiding a relationship with her either.
so that'd be Chika, Sara, and Ayane but holding back some on Ayane... and keeping on good homie terms with Rin.
I wonder if I CAN reject Kirin and truthfully tell Karin I haven't been messing around with her sister?

There will likely be a way to have both just as there was a way to stay on Rin's good side and also get with Chika.

I still get a feeling his Bluejay wasn't voluntary, but was made to look that way.

That is a possibility that I had not yet considered.

That's a disturbing thought......which means its likely true. Something gave her a little 'push' at just the wrong moment.

Thank GOD God god for that reset...

I havn't caught up on everything in the latest update, but I have finished Maya's stuff. I kinda feel like she broke him and now she keeps hitting the reset hoping he'll restart as his original self. It would explain why she plays it cool in the very beginning...
the way she'd act if they had a secret relationship. This game is amazing, I don't even have a favorite girl. Well I do kinda, Sara's pretty much at the top of the list, excited/afraid of when we learn more about what happened with her son. But they're all important parts of an extraordinary display of story telling.

She, Maya, might also see that it's Noriko's fault that the MC is the way he is during this reboot, if was even Noriko's fault or Maya's while trying to keep him from Noriko, based on that knee-jerk explosion we saw in the classroom.

/Agreed, like The Last Sovereign in so many ways, I was interested due to the porn and stayed for the story.

Definitely some strong feelings on Maya's end toward Sensei. The constant hateful/disgusted front she keeps up toward him could easily have been her way to cope with Sensei losing himself. Then things start happening that crack that wall she keeps up: the green scarf, Noriko showing up, Sensei having his blackouts around her. I don't have any clue how many loops she's been through, but at this point, she's likely just trying to hang on to her sanity.

Then she gets threatened with a reset herself...

Poor kid


HUGS FOR MAYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have circumstantial evidence at best, thankfully this isn't an actual court of law, but I get a VERY strong feeling the culprit is either an EXTREMELY jealous Ami or an EXTREMELY pissed off Noriko, either having a bout of the 'if I can't have him, nobody can' fits.

Oh no, she's not the one who broke him, she's always been the one trying to prevent that.

Oh, Noriko didn't just crack that wall, she busted it wide open with a nuke. There's no way that emotional outburst was a simple crack in the wall. The same with her witnessing the blackouts. I agree with her sanity, she's hanging on by a thread with a significant force trying to break that last remaining thread. I honestly don't know how much more the poor thing can take at this point. She may become the first girl to have a true mental breakdown and I mean something MUCH worse than Rin's depression induced delirium spells. That notion actually has me genuinely worried now, I just had to bring it up.

Over/under on which girl(s) become aware of the loop? A couple of them have already questioned how they're having the beach trip 'again' when its only a few months into the school year...

I think they all will in time, maybe it will be something that further drives them down the path of Denpa.

That rooftop is gonna get crowded......i can't wait for Miku's reaction to that, lol!

I'm not sure they will get the rooftop treatment like we did, they may just come to some sort of realization. Some of these girls are too smart not to figure out something is very wrong on their own. I could see Chika especially going down the path of self realization.

Just assuming the rooftop because thats the pattern so far. I really have no bloody idea where Selebus is taking this game, and i love it

For us, yes, but we have Maya for that. They do not. As for the direction of the game, nope, totally unpredictable, which is what makes theorizing so fun. You never know when you'll hit the nail on the head or when you'll be off by miles.

Hell, for all we know, Yasu really is an angel-in-training and teaches Sensei to reset/loop/worldfuckery all on his own.

He might even unscramble that mess of wires he calls a memory...

You...might actually be onto something with the Yasu training player Sensei to reset part, and oh boy would that majorly screw things up. Forget Noriko being a threat, Maya might want to worry about Yasu.

Well, as far a Noriko goes, Maya KNOWS she's a threat. After the other school collapsed and Sensei's class filled up, this is all new to Maya. She's in the dark just as much as Sensei is now.


Side note: just did Ayane and Kirin's 'competition' for Dorm Wars.........i've never wanted to bitchslap the shit out of a girl before, i learned something about myself tonight. My first playthrough i missed that event somehow, kinda wish i had again
