[Visqueza]

There is most likely an answer for this but I'm not going through 2775 pages... 215 days have past and it says the world is broken... what do I even do now lol!
Edit: 10 points with god and you can return back to school on a sunday

You should get the guide mod and read the puzzle guide. Might have already missed events though.

 

[Hario1225]

go for a third kid and rename the previous two so that you can get Ayane Ami Maya combo

With that logic I'm gonna get into a freak accident? Thank goodness I don't have a brother.

 

[DeSkel15]

It will DEFINITELY make it worse.

The Transpacific Sadness Symposium (TSS) seems to be some kind of intervention designed to discuss or "fix" the Sadness in the girls. Seemingly by something beyond the ocean/outside of Kumon-Mi. Not to say that they work or make sense. Nevertheless:

• Noriko is sad because of her relationship with Maya regressing. Hers involves clues into why New Maya is different than Prime.
• Futaba is sad because of her body dysmorphia. Hers involves multiple replicas, including one with big hands that she consoles.
• Sana is sad because of her brother being gone. Hers has her brother get replaced by Sensei.
• Chika is sad because Sensei's a slut which shatters her values. Hers involves normalizing being a slut because "everyone's doing it".

However, the TSS for the RASquad may be a little different. Makoto's TSS involved her having a gold star:

Personally, I'm curious as to whether Ayane has a gold star, and if so, I can think of a few things she'd wish for, like perhaps a daughter? It's also rather clear that Ayane is sad because of how her life is going. Her friendships have changed, her reality has been turned upside down, and the man she loves is...Sensei.

Yumi could also have an upcoming TSS, and if she has a gold star, I wonder if her wish would involve Yuki?

The callous part of me kind of wants Ayane to go all Scarlet Witch (Bubblewrap Witch?) with a "No More Mayas." wish. Ngl, I'd laugh.

I just finished Chapter 3 and, uhh… what I’m about to say might disappoint you guys. I barely felt anything at all—not because of spoilers, but because I still can’t bring myself to fall in love with Maya enough to feel anything.
For example, I only liked Niki like everyone else at first because she’s cute and a tsundere type, but I didn’t think much of her. Only after the “Glass Walker” event did I find myself actually falling in love with her character. Same with Ayane, Rin, Touka, Sana, etc.


As for Maya, I couldn’t get myself to love her the same way I did with Niki, even after three chapters. This is gonna sound rude, but seeing Chika (if it actually happens in the future) realize Akira was “cheating” on her behind her back all this time might affect me more (even cry because I'm a dick who did that to her)


So yeah… I guess I missed out on that feeling of sadness or crying at the end of Chapter 3 like everyone else

While Maya is not my fav girl either, but storywise it is amazing how her and sensei's relationship develops.

In chapter one some dude reincarnates into some other random guy in a weird world.

It sets the rules. This is an isekai story where every girl throws themselves to the mc expect for one. Maya is cold, calculated, all knowing and tired by carrying this huge burden. And chapter 1 continues to create more questions than answering, and ends with a happy event "Baby Finches".

Chapter 2 starts and breaks the rules. Now there is a chance that mc in not reincarnated into some random guy but he is the GUY. It is not an isekai story anymore. It is an amnesia story. Then we learn something (endless pit) that never happened before and Maya loses her all knowing title. and towards the end of chapter 2 we learn akira and maya had relationship and she still loves Akira.

Chapter 3 had a theme of incoming doom. And one of the best executed event "I will give you to the fireflies" Both of them almost break their molds. Sensei tries to write again and Maya starts to show her emotions.
End of chapter 3 is a very bold and well executed move by selebus.

And chapter 4 Maya is basically the Sensei at chapter 1. Just a lookalike who wants sex and doesn't accept no. Sensei rejects her the same way she rejected him.

You may not like the character but you have to admit it was an end to a captivating story.

I shall cling to my theory, but adding your observations, maybe that's how they're hoping to make the girls their tools. Even the two-headed horse wanted to grant Sana's "wish" just so she'd be his. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but in that sense, giving in and letting them fix what you consider "your sad" does something besides accepting being their tool, it's just not exactly known what at this point.

Great. Now I wonder if she was specifically talking about Robbie Receptionson.

Looks like Sel is back from visiting Molly's home country of Ireland. Work on 0.51 should start soon. Also heads up there is another break coming up after 0.53 in October. Just a heads up before another riot ensues.

Adding that a Holiday break is completely normal and anyone inclined to grab a pitchfork over it should touch grass.

P.s: Io date was peak. Considering all of her hangups, it went about as fantastically as it could have gone. I'm only sad that both red and green path had the same ending. Rins date was just a promoted dorm event.

Io date was pretty peak, I did find their kiss very sweet. I think I just would've preferred it be a regular date instead of part of Dorm Wars because having it immediately be followed by Rin date kinda did a disservice to both events.

Cool, more implicit evidence for a Halloween reset. I assume he's gonna try for some sort of cliffhanger and a reset is a fantastic base. Maybe a second reset to a chapter that doesn't end the chapter? (The Infinite Spring)

Then again, 0.52 is beach update. Maybe not.

Talking about Halloween. What kind of costumes do you all hope to see? Any cosplay from any game that you think could appear?

 

[thebadpastor]

More Hoyo I'd assume

I hope more Honkai than Genshin, Yasu was an adorable Clara

Hi!! I have a question. How can I delete all my saves?
I've got a lot and get confused everytime I wanna play...

Probably some ZZZ characters. I think Molly or Teenami(reaching for the last one) would make a great Piper.

Speaking of Molly, there is something she said during Nodokathon2 that peaks my interest.


Back then, Molly used "common sense" to help Sensei move forward, saying that she would definitely know if she did get impaled during Lavender Green, and it is a very valid reasoning too. Even in the face of unexplainables such as Sensei's checkmarks or Sekai's suggestion on what really transpired that night, the claim "I would definitely know if I got raped better than you do" stands undeniably tall, though there is this one charming theory about Molly being fixed physically by the gods on the spot after getting raped (and perhaps presumably killed) so she miraculously might really not know better.

But if she did stay true to her claim or if this charming theory did become true, why would she still be so vague and uncertain about it even now? Why isn't the answer to Nodoka's question a simple YES it is true? Shouldn't she be saying just that if it's for the exact sake of her Supreme Overlord? What is going through her head when she is specifically targeted by this touchy subject?

To me, this at least implies that even if what Molly said back then does make sense, she lacks even the most fundamental confidence in her own statement, and even till this day, she lacks courage to really check herself. She would rather leave the real answer in limbo and drown herself in uncertainties with Sensei together or worse, she would actually lie to Sensei about what happened that night if that's what it takes to have him stay on Molly route. No matter what the case is, it doesn't necessarily mean that "Molly is no longer a virgin" becomes a lot more likely after today, it is just how surprisingly shaky "Molly is still a virgin" is, even to Molly herself (which is also something that gets repeatedly made fun of in this update).

I also have a hunch that this might merely be a case of Selly writing Molly's dialogue using viewer's perspective instead of her own so that he could keep avoid progression and I am just a massive overthinker, but I rather not think about that for now.

I don't think you're overthinking anything. To this day Molly still hasn't been definitively penetrated, except during Nodokathon 1 with the dildos, where she took a fairly large sized one without blood. I wouldn't put it past Molly to lie to Sensei about what happened. She was miserable without him, saw how much he was hurting, and just wanted him back.

Molly TSS is gonna go hard.
