Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.49.0] [Selebus]

the wonders of:

Save green route

Now, mind you, I'm not checking if this is exactly from the beginning of chapter 4. But there were also other results in the search. Also note that probably any save you get from here will crash if you're not using the walkthrough mod.

Wow, chapter 2 has been such a rollar coaster for me. I'm not good with English so hopefully this will be enough for u guys to comprehend. Never in my life have I ever played an ero game that made me feel this bad for being with many girls and risking hurting all of them. I've invested too much emotions and love into virtual girls in this game that I'm fucking depressed rn thinking how Chika and Io gonna act once they find out everything (their too precious and already been through too much...). And one thing I know for sure is that Sensei is probably the worst person I've seen in this game so far, I thought he was going to better after seeing him slowly being kinder and care more about others. But nope, back to being a dick again(Io spent 10 hours to make a wardrobe for him just to be told this for worrying?). Feeling horrible rn, but ig these r what make LIL a great game(playing with my emotions).

She had recently moved in with him, not without some drama, but still.

Thx alot. Now I'm happy enough to keep playing without getting depressed halfway through and quit.

There's a lot of impactful events in this game, but for me Niki is directly involved with many of the more feel good/unironically happy moments of the game, one of which I think you're about to encounter yourself. Whatever emotions this game brings out of you will only be temporary after all, I encourage you to keep pushing through the low lows, because while the emotional highs never make up for the lows, they do stick out quite a bit. Oasis in a desert, sun during a storm; the way the feel good moments of this game hit really embody the title of this game, especially cuz they are surrounded by so much self-inflected misery.

I await your next posts with great interest. You're in the best section of the game.

I agree on Alt Sekai. I am too lazy to find it but aramaug has a post about how Ami rapes Maya is very similar to how Sekai rapes Tsuneyo. Using similar words etc which totally convinces me Sekai can control Ami just like she controls Kaori.

But there is something scary about it.

We know when Sekai takes control of Kaori by the eyes.
We don't know When she takes control of Ami because they have the SAME EYES.

How do we know she possesses Ami at all, it's already showcased that Ami can see, talk to, and heavily takes on the advice of Sekai.

She literally does what Sekai says word for word when trying to convince Niki to not move in, and then differs from the "script" given by Sekai after some silver tonguery from Niki, to which Sekai is clearly unamused.

I'm not sure there's any reason for Sekai to "take control" of Ami given how much she is willing to do already.

Hello! I am getting an error regarding "imani_lust" in the phone .rpy file I think? It says it is undefined and I tried to search up some ways to fix it - didnt have much success. Does any one else have an idea of what I could do here? Only seems to have happened after getting some of the care packages and the anti DRM patch. I'll clean install if this isn't fixable.

 

[Moonflare]

the old care packages/drm patch are notorious for being buggy. The care package (FanFest) from 2025 is problem-free (and does not require a patch).

Rule of thumb is to take a look at the older stuff and remove it later. Or rather, copy your LiL folder, install the old care packages onto the 2nd folder, take a look at it and either keep it separate or delete it after. This makes your main LiL folder safe.

Also not your question, but I kindly remind everyone that it's always smart to backup your saves each time before updating the game. You can even go the extramile and organize them by chapter if you're feeling it (I don't because URM, but yeah).

Edit: I'm unsure if this has to do with care packages at all judging from the traceback, but can't help you further on that front.

MY SOURCE IS I MADE IT UP

Jokes aside why i think that is, the way Ami acts. Until now we have seen cute and obsessive niece, and second side ,dangerous obsessive lunatic who knows everything about loops and all the innocence was just acting.

This is not a hill i will die for, but i like this theory. But i may missed things or reached too far with the knowledge we have. So feel free to disprove me.

Thinking about the whole Ami/Maya weirdness that was talked about yesterday, I just got to the Letter T and remembered our original Happy Maya's name was Amiokay. That always stood out to me but I never knew what to make of. Still don't, actually, but it certainly stands out even more with those ideas in mind.

Still not totally on board with the idea Maya just is an Ami or is actively emulating her, simply because I like Maya and I think her fucked up backstory with Akira is interesting and it would be a bummer if she actually just appeared after the loops started and all that's retroactive false memories stuff.

Have we come to a conclusion about the hair ornament Imani uses yet? She's one of my favorite characters, but the fact that it's the same type as the one Sekai uses is a bit too strange to be coincidental. (Or I'm just extremely paranoid.)

Don’t think there is a solid conclusion or community consensus on this. For me though, the fact that another innocent soul Touka also wears a similar hairpin from time to time is enough to convince me that it doesn’t really mean anything as far as I am concerned.

I would be remiss not to bring up my somewhat crack theory about Sekai being tied to the Tsukiokas in some way again. You have the spooky sakura tree, Sekai is the main recurring association with Sakuras. You have the Tsukiokas with records of the Yasu religion. A bit of a bigger leap from there but I think Living Sekai somehow had some kind of ties to the older supernatural stuff in Kumon Mi with the whole wishing well and Xoanon stuff.

Not saying Touka is actively a member of a weird cult, but I think the weirdness of the Tsukioka's might not just be rich people shit but tied to older traditions and the butterfly thing might be a family thing that comes from those older indiginous Kumon-Mi traditions.

As for Imani? I have no clue. She likes bugs. Bugs are weirdly tied to happy event stuff, especially early on, I think Sekai also likes bugs. I think bugs might mean something deeper than their use for grossout moments but who knows man, kinda grasping at straw there.

 

[Squalicorax]

Wait, adding onto that bit with the Sekai and Tsukioka tree connection, I went back to read Mother's Milk to brush up on the wishing well stuff, and when Nao poses with Sekai, this is the tree in the background right?

Finally caught back up, this was absolutely worth it. Bonus points for not making Haruka and Sara miserable. I think I'm almost entirely red path except for Sara, Maki, and Ami at this point but those I think I'll leave because I don't see anything wrong with the first two and Ami route adds a bunch.

Also picking Ayane for the Be Nice to Sensei contest is extremely sweet, I loved it.

Why do i feel like it wasn't written by Ayane but Himawari.

I hope not, It would have huge implications for a character who's infamous for only making green path appearances.

Since Times New Roman actually happened in alternate world. What do u guys think of Paper Town? Did Sensei really go through and murder the rest of them to reset the world or something? The event clearly happened in some level of realism cause you keep the shampoo if u pick it up and can lose it on next reset. ( Though I guess Maya was murdered in Paper Town but was alive in the rooftop )

I wouldn't call that proof of realism, if the fridge-shampoo was a hallucination to begin with then Sensei could simply be hallucinating he still has it because he took it lol

I don't think he went through and murdered the rest of them. None of them are aged up like Sana was in the house to match the time-skip, Ami is there despite being dead and he shoots Ayane multiple times without her reacting - plus he wakes up to find he's still in the house before waking up properly on the roof for the actual reset. I think the Paper Town segment is in his head and purely symbolic.
