Yumi is definitely more mature now, but the issue came from Io's lack of maturity, not Yumi's.

During the conversation, Yumi was very respectful and open to Io. It was Io that went full-on "only I'm allowed to have problems" - as if growing up with a junkie mother that abandoned her on and off, and finally abandoned her for good was small potatoes.

Io's a bitch.
This event was so hard to watch, Yumi was so undeserving of the gasoline poured on her by IO there.
They could be PTSD-Buddies but nah.
I hope that Ami gets shot dead by Ayane, sick of Ami if you ask me.
Real, so based.
Fuck Ami, not in the fun way.

I don't even remember what will happen in Chinami animation
It's a suprise from Sel. We dont know what it is yet. It could be either regular Chinami, Teenami, or Adult Chinami. Im leaning towards it being either Adult Chinami or regular Chinami since Yumi also an wizard animation this update. Or it could be Adult Chinami after Forever Young.

I remember there was an event where adult Chinami was a porn star. It was supposed to be traumatic but all I can think was "At least in this timeline we knows she's not dead as a child."

I can only imagine what it will be like when the game ends
I genuinely have theories that some people will be creating mods for this game, alternative events, their own routes and things like that, I don't think some people here will quickly leave the game once it ends, I think many will still create things for the game even after it ends.

Honestly once the game is completed, I kinda want to see if I can program it for to be playable as a video game VN. As it stands rn, it's an amazing story but a horrible horrible grind/slog to go through it. Like the affection grind needed to get to the final chapters alone could be dramatically reworked in order to either fit the narrative more; like you can have trivia events that boost affection more than 1 point each time, or have date events that could give you dozens of points if performed well enough or just by reducing the total requirement amount so that people don't have to go through so much clicking in order to access secret events.

There are some ideas I have in mind to make the grind more bearable but even that requires game design, experience with the renpy engine and time, things I all lack.

The fact that the SenseiQuest and the reset events exist alone prove that you can improve this game's standing by changing how those work, granted I won't know what to do for the ??? events like the ami mall event

Short story.
Yadda yadda purity and innocence. No, seriously.

Going with how the game is, I see two ways.
You can either go the ChäoS;HEĀd NoAH route and make the VN format a "fandisc" that adds a metaplot to the already existing one, and use that to justify the new mechanics.
Or you can add a disclaimer at the beginning that specifies that you're playing the WRONG version of the game, because the affection and lust points are unnecesary now. Still, leave everything that could be avoided as a choice, which would actually make it more like a VN, and maybe add a computer option that tells you what to do if you haven't triggered an event after 7 days.
Either way, as you said, both involve renpy knowledge to at least change or patch Sel's one.

like the ami mall event
Amy*, and that one would be simple, there's 20 locations, make it a simple linear progression, 1>2>3>etc. and adjust for any inconsistencies, of which i don't think there are any, you can backtrack pretty easily in that event but if memory serves, they're just meaningless alternates, you wouldn't miss anything by just showing the initial version of each location.

Yeah she is a bitch. Only reasons i was look over her being a bitch were:
1- i was expecting something horrible from her past.
2- she was cute.
3- And she was similar to a few people i met in real life.

Io is a word by word misandrist. (No i don't mean misogynist) She had a bad experience with a wo(man). She became wary of wo(men). She started to see every wo(men) as a danger or a monster. She disregard any problem a wo(man) have, either by saying it doesn't really exist or it is nothing compared to her problems.

And she never gets called out for her hate, because there are way bigger problems with the world. So at worst, she gets ignored.

BUT, she is cute and i wanna pat her head.

Now i think about, is there anyone around here who is knowledgeable about psychology, can tell if i'm right or wrong? And maybe profile other girls as well.

Hmm. I think misandrist means someone who hates men, which doesn't sound like Io. She's fond enough of Akira, in spite of all the reasons not to be. So I don't think that's what you mean.

Misanthrope, maybe — someone who just doesn't like people.

But I think the word you might be looking for is gynophobe—someone with an intense (and irrational) fear of women. Mind, hers isn't entirely without cause, but it's definitely not rational.

And yeah: she's cute. :)
