After seeing this I am like if the scene is going to be even more fucked if all three participants are wizards, Chinami, Tsukasa, and Nao, the triwizard cup
Love Train is so different in every way from what's going in in Kumomi that I doubt we'll ever get anything like it. I'm just surprised Maya stayed sane that long.
Fun fact, that area where that Futaba Lust Event 'Toys' takes place is apparently where Yasu takes Sensei later in Yasu's 'Hand of God' event:
Both Futaba and Makoto's lust have to be 50 which can kinda suck if you didn't get Makoto's to 50 before she blue jays herself and goes AWOL until after that event.
Damn, i need a 10 x bigger thinking reaction for this one... really big and insightful thunk right there man.
Interviewer: So what have you been doing those years
This may come off as a little weird to say but I don't think Sel would have too much trouble finding work since the internet is practically ignoring the more "niche" side of a creator's work and focusing more on the talent. Such examples are that several NSFW artists are working on the newest season of Invincible and the creator of Don't Toy With Me Miss Nagatoro has a history of drawing hentai before his work on his manga. While LiL isn't niche and on the more than questionable side with the literal grooming of children and oftentimes "Lessons in Shota" with some of the requests he makes for his fans I wouldn't be surprised if somebody looked past the questionable aspects of his game and said you're a good writer you're hired. Not defending the deplorable aspects of LiL just my opinion.(Please dont hurt me)
Sensei (or Nodoka)/Haruka/Sana would be fun to continue Haruka's corruption. Fucking her friend's naive daughter behind her back would be quite the moral event horizon.
I'm not so sure. As the guy I quoted pointed out, you could conceivably get fired just for playing this, let alone writing it. Even fictional stuff dealing with minors is the sort of thing a Western company wouldn't want to touch with a ten foot pole.

Dude's making $11k/month, and the trend in this community is that if you finish a project and it's any good, the follow ups are usually even more profitable, so why would he even begin to care about what a company would think?
I can agree with that but I do wonder what he'll use instead of koikatsu since he's moving away from it. I'd assume his fans are really into the anime style and I doubt going to something like Daz would appeal to them. Would he learn to draw? Would he hire an artist? Curious to see how that turns out 10 years from now when he finally finishes LiL.
I mean, we're looking at a minimum of six years out. An open-source solution could easily come out well before then.
In discord he said once LiL is done he is never using Koikatsu again.
The part about corporate perception you quoted was a merely hypothetical exhange; in my original post I noted that he pretty much has to keep making eroge and hope to maintain his current audience. I was merely reflecting on how the questionable nature of the game means that he can't afford to fail at this, not predicting that he will quit and will have to go job-hunting soon.
By then, AI art may be advanced enough to simply generate everything he needs.
Most companies couldn't care less actually, even if a company did a thorough background check and found he made this game, as long as he's not going to work in a lewd chinami shirt and a car with the words loli-trolly written on the side, they won't care and he'll be fine.
I very vaguely (so grain of salt and all that) remember him saying one time that he'd be using classic art like most visual novels. And if he's putting a little money away for the next project, then he could probably keep the many variations in scenes he likes to do with koikatsu.
