And that's why LIL is a game that someone has to discover and want to play because there's literally no way to recommend it without people thinking you have problems :)
Sometimes I have to justify this game to myself. As in, I feel shitty about playing this game sometimes, in a Lolita sense. I feel like my social life could be destroyed if it came out I played this game.
Spider snip.
Sometimes I wonder if Sel loves you or hates you, because you really do seem to pick up exactly what he's trying to say, and he sometimes hated when people predicted what he was trying to do. I wish you were around during the days when he frequented this place.
0.35 start/0.36 start
You are a much kinder person than I am.

Newbies: Lurk moar. Read the fucking manual, use the fucking search. RTFM, UTFS.

The cover leaves me thinking more about the symbolism with the insects and associates in Lil, since there is also the symbolism with flowers for each girl and birds.:unsure:
Since there are spiders, although they are not insects, they eat them, and they are associated with several girls in the story, there are also termites in happy event, worms and tapeworms in other parts ((reminds me of the theory of how tapeworm and bucket of a happy event related to Hope, and Moyo)),
there are also the flatworm guineas in that way, which are the ones associated with the Rin's wounds on her arms
Cockroaches in a lot of happy events, and here he comes back and they come out almost in an army
and also butterflies as accessories on several girls, Sekai, Imani, Ami
Then there are the fireflies used in some romantic or emotional moments of the game like Maya's, final beach event
There may be a little more but that's what comes to mind the most.
but the praying mantis is new if my memory serves, and they are those where after having sex to procreate, the female eats the male, which is not random, and seeing Sekai in parts of other places, with that the first thing What would come to my mind would be maybe a new happy event, or the last Main Events come loaded with internal struggles and symbolism of his trauma in Akira's mind.

((and by the way the female Mantis is by quantities of size several times larger than the Male, which reinforces in other words the Groomin abuse of Sekai Female Praying Mantis towards Male Praying Mantis Akira))
Without diving too much into what these insects could imply, large uses of various types of insects for symbolisms might come from Sekai's love for insects that managed to make a lasting effect on Akira's psyche, making him (or this world made for him) subconsciously associating different insects with different emotions and themes despite lacking personal fondness for these creatures.

I was careless and the DRM stuff wrecked all my saves.

I would really appreciate a pre 0.36 save. (good/bad uncle, idc)

(And if nobody has that then post 0.36 will also do.)

Thanks in advance!
I have a better idea, let's just play again one more time.

I believe it would be physically impossible to catch up before the next update
Average reading speed is ~250 words per minute, so you need about 160 hours. However, if you are really fast, you can reach 600-800 words per minute, which makes it less than 65 hours. 65 hours per 4 days is just 16.25 hours per day, which allows you to even eat and sleep during reading

On the other hand, if your only purpose is to make it to the last update, you can just hold skip and get here in 4-5 hours

PS is about 25k words per minute

That was a truly awful article, it repeated everything it said at least 3 times and spoke in nothing but an empty summary of the subject... i kept waiting for something interesting to appear but in the end i was left bereft...

Speaking of speed. How the hell new people will play this game when it finishes? We are not even halfway there into the story and this game already takes a lot of time to read through, imagine the horror of newbies that will decide to embark on 300 hundred or more hours of reading. Edit: Man, reading this story from start to finish many years from now will be one hell of a journey

If Selebus would keep current amount of text per chapter, Hours Heresy would still be larger than LiL in the end. Quiet close though

Every time the update is around the corner I try to find some VN to read or series to watch just to make it to the update without much loss in sanity xD
This time I encountered quite the gem that I left for later about a year ago, and kept pushing for even later every single time I was "scheduled" to read it (look generic as fk) but man it turned out great, and I think some people here will also love it)
named Secrets of sorcery
