Oh no you did NOT just compare me to Nodoka.

I didn't realize I was stealing Moe Moe Maya from someone when I started posting, but it's too late, I'm committed now.

Hey, for all we know I could be comparing you with Himawari. I don't know what the hell is going on in that scene.

But I get how that might be distressing, so let's make peace, here's Yumi with a turtle:

Spoiler: some event of 0.46

I Like how much this image implies about the growth of Noriko and Yumi's friendship and Yumi's character growth. Because Yumi specifically said to Akira she had never told the turtle story to anyone, not even Chika. So this image basically means Noriko already managed to hear the same story from Yumi (Unless Akira told Noriko something but I don't remember). I only wonder if it was before or after the latest reset.

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to Yumi's purity route cause I just wish it could be Akira doing nice things for her, you know? Can you imagine?

This town has two halves turns into a romantic setting when Akira has the impulse to kiss her, but instead of doing it, he stops and apologises for getting caught up in the moment and that leads to her thinking about him in a romantic sense.

Then he helps her with finding a job, and they keep getting closer, and then with getting back with Yuki - I don't even know if Nodoka would attack her on that timeline because Yumi would probably have given up on bullying way earlier with Akira by her side - but yeah, if it did, Akira would protect her 100% - then when she gets him for christmas it actually IS a love letter, how cute would that be.

Anyway, I want a love story with the tsundere, with lots of dere, wholesome teacher moments and okinawan turtles.

Edit: Also, Chika would probably be dating Rin in that timeline since Yumi was "closer" to Akira way before her.

The purity routs feel so far away that I cant even think about them yet. Instead I'm here hoping that 500 Yumi headpats lives up to my hype. I have no idea how Selebus will manage to write it, so I can only hope the cute and hilarious tsundere headpat levels reach critical mass.

Have we gotten any indication on how aware Ami is of the wishing well? Because she seems content to let things go, and I don’t recall seeing her look worried about it drying up.

Besides the suspicions that this entire update (and maybe future ones until the next reset) may be occurring in a template world and not the "main" one (even foreshadowed with the "Yeah! Like, how do you know you’re not still in that room?" scene), she has referenced stuff like the nightvision, which is something connected to the gods, though it remains to be seen whether she knows only about the gods or she's also aware of the wishing well.

 

[hopeisdead6969]

I suppose the question could extend to Sekai as well, since we’re still unsure of who User4 is. Himawari obviously knows, but other than her, am I correct that only the Users (and Yasu via Hope) are aware of the situation?

I'm expecting 500 Chinami headpats to not end up in an orgasm or any sort of being turned on. She just enjoys it. Maybe even continue it to 1000 headpats before Sensei gets tired and Chinami enjoys herself the correct amount.

I feel like my tierlist looks pretty different than most of the ones I've seen on the wiki

Everyone likes to talk about "stomachache", but I think the decision that most hurts me in LiL is not picking Uta to win the costume competition:

Spoiler: Tip your bartender

It's even worse because I really think she should win (the "pssssst" as she "shinobi vanished" was so funny, and the "metaphors" were so bad it was amusing). Fucking green path (you have to pick Miku in order to get the double blowjob event with Kirin).

Also on a minor sidenote, it's interesting that Touka starts to investigate everyone that loves Akira during this chain, because it's also when she hints at being in love with him. First she "proposes" (in a very roundabout way) twice during the bus ride to her home. Then she refuses to answer if she would like to have sex with him when Otoha asks.

So, how do you use URM to guide you through the game? This is the first time I've played a brand new update and I'm not sure what to do to get things rolling.

 

[hopeisdead6969]

Check out the first page of the thread. You’re looking for the Guide Mod, I believe. However, it’s only updated 2 weeks after release, so it won’t work for this release. But it works for helping with event requirements and triggers.

For this update, things begin automatically on a particular day of the week. Friday, I believe. For triggers, you can search for Moonflare’s posts, as he posts event triggers really quickly after updates come out.

So, how do you use URM to guide you through the game? This is the first time I've played a brand new update and I'm not sure what to do to get things rolling.

Guide mod gives hints about what to do. it's only updated when public versions of LiL are released.

URM's biggest feature for LiL is letting you know when there's branches in the story logic. One of the biggest ones talked about this update is whether you've seen failsafe (which we're assuming means you chose to groom Tsukasa. The logic is wrong currently, might be fixed next update). There's several points in the dialogue where the top left says something like "choices available", you can click them and find out through the logic provided what dialogue you are about to get, and sometimes you can pick something you haven't earned just to see the dialogue (Though I'd roll back to before the choice when you're done reading it. Committing to dialogue you didn't earn will break things irreparably)

It also lets you find variables and event names, and allows you to change variables or jump (or view in a replay) events that the game says you aren't allowed to see yet. You can also watch certain variables to have them appear in a tab to watch them change in real time, though this is rarely useful in LiL.

I got the impression Maya is the victim of Noriko's stalking.

I don't think most of us got the same idea, but you do you.

Maya: "I'm cold and blunt. A kuudere with slowly dissipating "cool" and "dere" buried somewhere so far underground that you'll likely never find it."
I'm struggling to figure out which form of "cool" she means. Cool like in you are in awe of how cool they are, sort of like what the girls see in the mc, or if she means cool as in containing those emotions. If in the former case then she appears emotionless but people see her more as a freak than someone worth admiring and she lacks the caring part so she's basically just an outcast in every sense. In the latter case she's slowly losing the "kuu" in kuudere but she still doesn't care in this case. Given some of her outbursts with the scarf and the appearance of Noriko with the numerous instances of anger, disgust, few instances of blushing and so on, I'm starting to think it's actually the latter in this case. But I feel like she already is the former.

Term Kuudere is about containing these emotions inside or not knowing how to show these emotions at all.
But Maya is clearly a narcissist, so she can imply both meanings.

WTF DOES THAT MEAN?
Maya: "If I could tell you more, I would."
Sensei: "Really?"
Maya: "Really."
Sensei: "Even though I'm the most disgusting person in the world?"
Maya: "Right."
Proceeds to have one if not the most out of place facial reaction I've ever seen. A regular wide smile, blush, regular wide eyes with that tear stuck in both eyes.
The event is called "Stop looking for answers". It looked like she was laughing, in distress, embarrassed, on the verge of crying, psychopathic-ish, all at the same time and I can't figure out which it is. I expected her usual stoic expression but I got a deranged one instead. I don't know about you but that's just not normal. It seems like there's deeper meaning but the text doesn't imply there is, or at least it doesn't feel like it.

What do you mean most out of place?! Selebus using this Maya face as merch.
Anyway, she was laughing, in distress, embarrassed, on the verge of crying, psychopathic-ish, all at the same time, I believe.

"Would have to be a real screw up. Equally as douchey. Zero work ethic. A whole bunch of shit"
Bruh, out of nowhere marriage proposal.

Ehem, that's a wife material for you.

Tsukasa, Tsubasa... Bruh. Well at least Touka was given a more unique name. So a family of three this time around.
The problem with having characters with similar names is that it's easy missunderstand who talks. When their name colors are the same it's even harder. Bad design decision.

We have a method how to remember them!
Touka is Tsukini Tsuyuri Tenma Touka.
Kid is for TsuKasa.
Boobs is for TsuBasa.

Some distant future where Yumi calls him daddy... I don't know how I feel about that. I feel like she somehow would reject it on account of it being too embarrassing or something else.

Then I'll take that rejected future of yours.

Nodoka is entertaining as hell.

I imagine it going something like "are you for real?" into "this is just sad..." into "..." into *starts crying as years of trauma from receiving zero affection of any kind leaks out* into *some kind of bliss trance like S&M subspace* and finally into *mind shattering orgasm* then she just leaves... and it's never spoken of again...
