Seeing that fucking fake smile is just plain irritating. This is the part where the Maya date crashes. Ami can go to hell.

Too many girls, story get very stretched (hehe). How long has it been since MC and Touka were in her bed and talked about how much they wanted to bang? Will be another year or six probably before that happens.
With the number of girls now, these breaks seem to be common. Norika will have gone a year since her last standalone event. Even main stays like Ami, Maya, Makoto, etc have gone 9+ months without a scene since Jan 2024.

She's in a really specific spot right now, she can wait until everyone else has been developed enough to continue the "What does Akira's love confession mean?" plot line Which is somewhere underneath the "Is Sara gonna try to kill herself?" plot line, the "What is Niki going to do about Akira's manwhoring?" plot line, the "How do we make Maya suffer" plot line, the "My mother probably has cancer" plot line, Ami's shit stirring, the Akira "WHY ARE YOU LETTING ME GET AWAY WITH THIS" crashout, and the coming beach revelations.

Got to EOC, that felt like a lot less content than I'm used to between 0.45 and 0.49.
That scene where Rin tells Chika she kissed Akira, it seems like she was angry that Rin kissed someone else and not that she kissed her boyfriend, it already felt like she looked at Rin like they were dating for a while already, the way she treats Rin is exactly how she fawned over Akira before she learned he was with others.

UGH, I didnt even realize that. I guess they have always been really close to each other; I likely just never noticed as I only got caught up during fanfest.

Last year Beach was separated pretty well, but the original break would have left 1 update between beach and halloween (and decembers update isn't even marked as christmas)
But then Fanfest's extra month has emptied the space. We don't have any revised changelogs after the beach yet. Sel might compress stuff or do a december halloween update or something.

Guys, you have a button. It will change the timeline, but the only change is... Selebus never adds extra 10 characters to the main cast. At most, a few of them will be in the side cast, like the Kanda sisters. And let's say, Molly and Tsuneyo still exist, but nothing more than side cast characters at best. But any character from the second school will never exist. No Uta, no Io, no Touka (and her family), no Nodoka, no Otoha, no Yasu, no Noriko (and Niki).
Would you press the button to change the timeline? If so, why?

No way, yeah the cast is bloated as fuck but the damage is done, there's no character i'd want removed from the story now that they're a part of it...

I would not. To push that hypothetical button would erase a lot of great characters. Some people think the cast is too big, but I personally think it’s fine. You could probably trim characters like Rika out of there, but even still, I feel like she’s gotten better screentime lately.
So much important development wouldn’t be possible either. Like, imagine Lessons in Love without the one-sided Maya/Noriko rivalry. That means events like “Smells of Summer” or “I Will Deliver You To The Fireflies” would cease to exist too. Or what about “Spotless Mind” from Christmas 2 where Akira regains his first memory? The Niki date chain from 0.29? That has probably my favorite event of the whole game: “The End of the Tour (Glasswalker)”
No Yasu? Well that makes explaining certain lore involving HOPE a lot more complicated. I could keep listing examples, but you get the idea.
I just couldn’t see Lessons in Love without the cast we have. They’re all amazing in one way or another.

No. I'm hella invested in the second floor. Futaba, Miku, Chika (And Sana but she's special) are kinda meh right now and aren't likely to get attention that would change my opinion for a while. I guess Rin would benefit without her dorm 2 dalliance but she'd be shallower for it.
Uta, Io and Touka have their own progress that I want to see keep flourishing. I want to see where
I'd rather remove the insistence that the quarterly events (Dorm Wars, Beach, Halloween, Christmas) are always long event chains. Sometimes Christmas should be spent at home with maybe a couple of the girls coming over, or Akira visiting them. We usually get a similar effect with secondary parties that Akira isn't at. That or decouple those chains from the actual release date of the updates.

This is pretty much how I feel.
Even ditching a couple of the less consequential characters like Molly and Kirin would be detrimental in my eyes - the fallout from the Halloween where
I hopped on this train at 0.47 so I got to binge a ton of content and I was honestly astounded by how well the game paces and juggles such a large cast. I haven't had to deal with prolonged waits for story to pick back up the way some people here surely have though so maybe if I'm alive in a few years I'll change my tune but as a whole I think LiL paces its cast amazingly well. As is I can't think of anyone I'd be okay with dropping at this point.
Unless it's Sana and she's being dropped into Io's bottomless pit, I could probably live with that lol

I'd have to say no, mostly because it'd might as well be just a generic Dating Sim, then, tbh. Most of the drama and backstory comes from the second floor. The game would surely suffer if it's just variations of Chapter 1 ad nauseam.
Assuming the game continued without the school collasping then it'd likely become a dead end:
