I'm of the opinion that we're still pretty far from the Dark Route. Iirc Sel specifically said that he might feel comfortable saying we're "20%" in a while back, but where he actually was is around the 15% mark, and I assume the end of Ch3 will be that 20%, which adds up with the word count having just hit 2M and he has said that he's envisioning the whole thing to be 10M. Not to mention he has said that every character will be romanceable before the Dark Route starts, and we aren't anywhere near that point yet. I think he mentioned having each main girl at about 50 events and the side girls at about 25, I can't check now if he was specifically talking about the Harem Route but I do remember it being the case.

So honestly, I think the Harem Route will take at least until Ch5 to end.

So you are telling me, assuming Selebus keeps his current pace, we still have roughly 13 ~ 14 years to go before this thing's finished? It'll probably be a bit longer since he'll take several breaks in this time frame (assuming standard life stuff happens). That's tough.

I don't know when he started developing this game, so I'll use the start of this thread as the reference.

I made some (rough) calculations and estimated his total LiL income in these 17 years (give or take a few months) would be around US$ 3 million.
Assuming someone subscribed next month, they would be expected to spend at minimum $815 until LiL ended. That's the price of a reasonably decent laptop.

Coincidentally, it took James Joyce around 17 years to write Finnegans Wake.

Yeah I assume it will take at least a decade to finish and it's insane to think about it that way.

He has stated repeatedly that he expects the game to take another 5-6 years. Factoring in the time that has passed and the delays that have happened between the last time he said that and now, probably closer to 5.

I had assumed the development window was going to be 3 phases of equal length (another factor leading into my assumption we'd be seeing the phase shift before the end of this year). But if it's %70 harm, %20 dark, %10 purity (random numbers pulled out of my ass), for example, the dark phase may only take a year or two.

And as described, Purity routes are just a series of scenes that ties up a given character's route, and multiple purity endings could be added in a single update depending on how close to resolution each character is when they start.

Of course I suppose there's always the risk that he completely flips his lid over this site and others like it a few times between now and then causing a few delays whilst he goes full Bond villain. Mwah ha ha.

When you realize Ami's two best friends have spent years trying to cuck her.
Presumably even going out of their way to fuck the man they know she loves, on her bed:

And likely getting off at the idea of cucking her.

Meanwhile Ami has blatantly gone out of her way to be there for both Maya and Ayane:

I can't really blame Ami for going Psycho with friends like these.

Ok so I was trying to track down what the combos are for every Secret Santa they have because some of them look hilarious

Then I realized that Makoto got Maya one of those cube melons, so I went hmmmmm did Makoto somehow meet your mysterious daughter and get it from her?

But then I decided to look up "cube melon" in case this is actually an everyday thing; and according to wiki, these are commonly sold in Japan! :ROFLMAO: Albeit understandably expensive but still! (ref:

I still want to see if Miku will ever use that sword that Ayane got her:

Of course, the gift that sticks out the most to me is presumably Nodoka's to Sana:

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

As for the melons, I'm still curious about why Maya loves Watermelons so much as they aren't exactly uncommon.

I'm kind of just in the same boat as Sensei:

"I'm sure it's somehow relevant"

Best guess is that Sensei used Watermelons to seduce Maya back during the tutoring days, and it's caused her to equate them to feeling loved and happy.
