I just made it back to the first beach event. Man... I forgot how hard this game can hit. The 2 girls on the beach... the final monologue from god or whatever the fuck talks to us... the music... This game doesn't hit for everyone, and I understand that... but fuck me bro...

Is this kind of like a softcore vn? There's quite a few scenes but less than half of them show visible penetration.

It's a proper VN with sex as a tool, but it's not the main driving force. You actually play this for the plot and not the sex. If you just wanna jerk off you should skip it.



But if you think you want to read a several months long VN that's got a ton of us hopelessly addicted to it, and have a good chance to feel for cartoon characters, stick around. Though if spoilers are a problem maybe ignore the thread for a bit, we're hours from an update that seems like it's going to be heavy emotion wise.

Kinda but not really? Without spoiling too much, let's say it's a mix of Totono and Cross Channel with harem elements, and the denpa segments are a main point of the story. That could be a good starting point for expectations. Other than that, there are sex scenes, yes, but depending on whether you reach them, they'll either leave you with more questions or raging at them for taking time away from the plot.

Thank you for responding. I've been playing for over two weeks now and i'm currently at 0.49, but It's nice to know there's an update right around the corner. I just feel like the scenes we currently have are kind of lackluster. I know the dev stated this isn't just smut fodder but I can't help but think the scenes could have been a little better.

I see. In that case yeah he's no disney animator. The animated scenes are all stock koikatsu animations, and I'd fear for the game if he started pouring dollars into an animator to give him unique animations. I don't think he'd release another update due to trying to perfect every animation in the same way he handles shot composition for the rest of the game.

is v0.53 something he actually posted or is it a meme?

Its a joke. Sel was posting updates for the events in .51 and .52; which was a swap of a Chika and Futaba event. Just that the .51change was posted first and a few Futaba-stans commented sadly. The .53 update was just posted followed by a -1 Community Member continuing the joke

I actually feel like this is one of the few cases, were reading spoilers, almost always sprinkled on top of borderline schizophrenic ramblings of local theoreticians, will, probably fuel the interest of newcomers, rather than turning them off.

In anticipation of the big revelations we're about to get about Sara's past (Selebus please), let's talk about the identity of her teacher, i.e. Sana's dad. I think Nozomu Arakawa is the most likely candidate, but I'm far from certain. What I am confident in: Sana is an Arakawa.

(OK, the day before an update probably isn't the best time for a long theory post, but I was determined to share what I have before we get The Sara Update. Nakayamas? Never heard of 'em. I would have posted last week but circumstances prevented it.)

I'm going to start from the idea that Sana's dad and Rin's mysterious bio dad are the same person (but even if that turns out to be wrong, much of the evidence still applies to Sana's dad). For details, see this post:

I tried structuring things a bit differently this time, splitting into subsections and in particular separating most of the screenshot evidence (first two sections) from the analysis/thesis. Let me know if this is helpful or just makes things harder to follow.

I have to cut the post here because of the attachment limit. The rest will follow in a part 2 very shortly.

We need a speculative LiL family tree. I bet everyone's related in some way. Nodoka will be thrilled.

Sana and Rin's father, continued.

TLDR: Lots of little hints can be explained if Nozomu was the father of Sana and Rin. On the other hand, parts of Sara's story about her teacher seem to be inconsistent with Nozomu. But since I find all other alternatives even less likely, I lean toward the belief that Nozomu is the father and Sara's omissions will be explained in a way that we don't yet understand.

Regarding Nothing is Beautiful (NIB), i guess Yuu just knocked up most, if not all of it's female cast. Pretty much cliche wise.
We know he did at least Saki (Akira's mom), Sekai's mom (forgot her name) and what was her name? Kyoko?, Nodokas mom.
I think it's safe to assume he (Yuu) had kids with the entire NIB cast, meaning that a lot of the female LiL cast is from Yuu.

Regarding the family tree, at least Moonflare has one.
