Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.53.0] [Selebus]

[Fire Lord Zuko]

If sensei-quest has to do with Ami, as some have theorized, it's likely a reference to Dragon Quest (as she's a huge nerd to games and manga), which is highly important for j-rpgs, and games overall.

Also, iirc, dragon quest had to do with a dude that saves the land by taking possession of a glowing ball of light (HOPE) that protects them from winter (Wires?).

But yeah, it could be a silly reference instead. We'll soon find out.

Dragon Quest was also referenced in one of Niki's letters to Akira. It was a game they played together and had fond memories of:

I kinda hope it is connected to the Reset Puzzle, and is a text adventure/choice based mini puzzle like Apollo259 suggested, because that sounds really fun. I can just imagine it filled with wacky bullshit and fantastical elements. To anyone who's played Being A DIK before, there was a mini section where the MC and a few other characters played DnD and were quite literally immersed in the world for a little while, your ending depending on what choices you make throughout the small campaign.

Basically something like that is what I envision, but of course I don't expect the multiple endings part, seeing as Reset puzzles (mostly) end one way, Times New Roman being an exception if you choose to stay in the room.

But yeah, tl;dr, hopefully SENSEI QUEST is connected to the Reset Puzzle, and if it is, I hope it's as trippy as I suspect it will be.

Nodoka is all three of the following at the same time.
1) Horrified
2) Aroused
3) Horrified at being aroused.

So im high and was just catching up here and thought "What are the odds that paridollea is "prime" sensei" i don't have any facts to back this up but wanted to see if anyone else can add any claims to where they might be true

Hmmm. When sensei blackouts, he attacks girls.
Nodoka says cause of blackout actions are not of instincts but memory.
Pareidolia wants us to breed girls so that it can "sing again".

But pareidolia also can affect Sana, so it's not just a voice or soul trying to get out, except there were lots of "let me out" messages somewhere belong to someone who i don't know.

Damn i will replay this shit again and this time i will pay attention this time.(Thanks for YOUDIDIT for vn mod btw.)

"What are the odds that paridollea is "prime" sensei"

This is not a theory I'm invested in, but I'll try to help with another's theorycrafting.

Or, you know, not. I don't really take after this one.

You might not be too far off...
The USERS do take after Akira after all

You have now read around four hundred events in Lessons in Love (the game) and you're becoming caught up in the story. At a certain point you remark: "This sentence sounds somehow familiar. In fact, this whole passage reads like something I've read before." Of course: there are themes that recur, the text is interwoven with these reprises, which serve to express the fluctuation of time. You are the sort of reader who is sensitive to such refinements; you are quick to catch the author's intentions and nothing escapes you. But, at the same time, you also feel a certain dismay; just when you were beginning to grow truly interested, at this very point the author feels called upon to display one of those virtuoso tricks so customary in modern writing, repeating a paragraph word for word. Did you say paragraph? Why, it's a whole event; you make the comparison, he hasn't changed even a comma. And as you continue, what develops? Nothing: the narration is repeated, identical to the events you have read! You have flown into a web of post-modern metafiction wherein things reset then restart.

I tried to understand, straining my English and my brain and there was an error here.

Was this supposed to be a review of the game?

Yeah, this one had me squinting and thinking 'wut?'.

I think we're just going slightly mental nearing the drop of the update, we are simply preserving our brain power for whatever happens in the text dump tomorrow.

good effort, but I'm the resident specialist of quotting random obscure stuff into a wall of text:

Edit: Please continue to enjoy Lessons in Love in its purest form as you grow closer to Akira Arakawa and his many companions.
Edit2: I also wonder if someone managed to identify from whence all the quotes come from.

How many routes are there? How do you even do different routes?Is it just the few times where you can decide whether or not to sleep with a particular student?

I think I need to do another playthrough perhaps. I played the bulk of the game about a year ago, then set it down for around 10 months or so and am now catching up.

Oh crap, we haven't had a "what I want for this update" yet!

I want for one of the messages to be Rin sending Akira nudes. That was promised by the end of their conversation in the trading nudes routes and nothing came out of it yet. Next!
