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

[shmurfer]

I don't get how I've read several comments of people praising Akira for shouting at Ami. Like, sure, I get why Akira shouted and was angry, and it does show that he's finally becoming suspicious of Ami's actions. HOWEVER, the scene wasn't meant as a "Akira finally grows a backbone" type of scene. It was a showcase of both Ami's unraveling sanity and Akira's hypocrisy.

Like, how can he be mad at Ami for leading Niki to Noriko and him since if he just kept it in his pants and didn't fuck his girlfriend's sister, none of the preceding events would have happened. Niki would have walked into the room, still suspicious, sure, but with nothing wrong having occurred.

First point I need to hit before the paragraph, you're assuming Ami's sanity is unraveling. There was more evidence that Ami's been aware of the resets the entire time and has been orchestrating stuff from behind the scenes. The more weight you grant to Ami over how much of this she's in control of, the less room she has to be acting on an emotional basis instead of a manipulative narcissistic basis. She's stated she's got some kind of goal, and that it's had to change recently and she can't get in the way of Akira trying to sleep with everyone. Someone like that doesn't get to use any kind of emotional response reasoning for whatever pain she's slinging around.

Main point, I don't get how Ami glazers keep ignoring how much of a shit she's being. She wanted to hurt Niki and you want me to ignore it because Akira's also doing something wrong? She manipulated Maya's date to get Akira invested in her for a night just to stop her getting laid but Akira fucked Noriko so its fine. Maya tried standing up to Ami this time and Ami threatened to delete her entire existence from a place of assumed authority, but she's been having a hard time of..things not going her way so that's ok then. Ami doesn't like Niki and wants to get rid of her by trying to shatter every piece of attachment Niki has to Akira, and we just excuse that because Akira had a moment where he showed his true self to Noriko, asked her to stop seeing him as anything but Akira, and Noriko responded by wanting to give herself to him? (If you recall, he didn't start trying to fuck her, Noriko pushed hard into the idea. Surprise surprise Noriko isn't innocent here either)

Nothing about the scenes that happened this update would have changed if they happened because Niki heard Akira is famously loud during sex. He'd still have finished 5 hour fuck session with Noriko, he'd still have told Niki that it would have been unfair to Noriko to stop when she came into the room. Ami could have been innocent and things would have played out the same. But she didn't, so she isn't. Ami tried to ruin Niki's day, Ami ruined Maya's date. And it ends up with things not going her way, life is finally good.

Ami's been a shithead to everyone for a while now, but Akira wasn't able to do anything about it last update when he got 12 choices of "I love Ami, I can't pick anyone else". This update happens and we finally get a moment of Akira standing up and defying her, even if it ends with him and seemingly you falling for her manipulative words before her storming out of the room and giving him the silent treatment. But you know, baby steps and all.

Sucks what happened to Yumi, but not sure what she expected there. As far as I can tell she didnt even get paid right?
Tsubasa is currently on the fence of being a majorly important good or evil character. Time shall tell.

Yeah, Yuki didn't get paid. I don't really know what to make of Tsubasa but I think that might be down to me just not really liking her lol

 

[BlackDays]

While the whole Akira reaction to Ami thing is interesting in a tick, in the grand scheme, for me it seems pretty neglectable.
That was pretty much the lesson to be learned during, whatever event that was, the first time itsingsinitssleep.mp3 was played (was also played this update), that Sel will throw Ami's character (her behavior) around like candy on carneval.
Next update, what will it be? beach wars?, pretty sure Ami will either not be around/playing a minor role or at least very likely behave more normal again. Meaning, apology and forget.

Because i don't want to double post:
What do you Bingoogus think about the "Shorts"/Upskirt "Fanservice" moment?
I kinda just don't want to think of coincidence anymore, since it was something we mentioned.

 

[Bingoogus]

What do you @Bingoogus think about the "Shorts"/Upskirt "Fanservice" moment?

Quite funny, then hilarious... didn't make anything more of it than that, just some good humour.

 

[EsperX1]

I don't care much about the gangrape Yuki got, the thing that I hate the most is Yuki looks so pathetic, shameless and without dignity. A hopeless character, feel so disappointed, maybe that was what Akira thought upon knowing Yuki using drugs again. GG, I won't waste my hope on this character anymore. But hey, Tsubasa looks so beautiful and gorgeous, so contradicting.

 

[BlackDays]

Yeah, funny it was ideed.
Though, i think i'll go with: Sel read it and implemented stuff accordingly this time, and i guess from now on.
And i'm sure he did before.

Sign me up for that. It would be wild if that's what breaks Yumi's resistance and has her make a wish.

You're right that it is hypocritical, but it is also logical to hate someone that forced another to undergo surgery without anesthesia, when they could have had it. Which is basically the situation here.

Spoiler: that being said

You have to search for the events' script names.

So there ARE other names, script names. Always wondered why these things in URM never worked. Guess i should check LiL wiki more often...since idk how else to find out those names


On another note, I got up to the one Noriko scene.

One thing i wanted to mention, because someone came up with it (sry forgot your name).
It's in regard to the last cipher we got (the reverse thing).
"Truly yours, the librarian".
Opposite to what the person mentioning it stated, i don't think it's relate to Futaba, but Nao.
Which raises some questions, as always.

Yeah, the last thing I did before the update was that happy event so that was my first thought too lol

Next update is a random one. Only notable things so far is all the wizards have events, Tsubasa has 3 events and Yumi has 1 event. 0.52 is the beach, and there's been several references to the beach since the last reset, including this update in the 4th wall breaking event.

Opposite to what the person mentioning it stated, i don't think it's relate to Futaba, but Nao.

It was mostly a joke poke to the joke 0.53 change where they removed futaba entirely. I did preface it with saying a new character, which I'd say reframing Nao-chan into the librarian counts as.

Just to be clear, i don't mean Nao"-chan", but Nao, the thing that looks like Ami and is sitting in the library of all that man has ever known (in story).
Aking to a "Still watching you Akira" kinda thing.

 

[Vega Cifer]

Wow, that Yuki event was uhh...wow. Is this where several people start slowly pulling away from Akira and we go into the dark route?

Anyways, that was something I did not expect to see, even with LiL. They did hint at Tsubasa being Yukis sister or whatever, and I can see how it will connect for the future. But wow

I don't really know what Yuki expected tbh, especially when the sexual humiliation started. She obviously was desperate, and I get why she went back, but cmon girl, did you really NOT expect that evil fuck to have you gang raped.
I mean seriously.

Well... that was certainly... eventful.

For me its more that it gets resolved so quickly.
Has Sara seriously come to accept this? This quickly too?

Utterly unsurprising given what just happened to her.
I can't imagine she'll get the soul shattering that a lot of rape victims do, being tough as nails as she is, but I do NOT envy her and im not surprised she's taking a more masculine approach from here out.

 

[Ern The Skáld]

Geez I will be in my 60's then.

And here I thought that I'm an old fart, getting past 30 last year

No one else has mentioned it so I'm just gonna say it. I think this is a younger if not teenage Yuki. Back when she was the dragon but in the gang. Flashback to when she first called Tsubasa onee chan or so.

Life isn't about what happens to you, but how you react to it.
