Unfortunately I will only be able to play it in 21 days, which is when the Android version comes out on the other website I use and still in my native language ;-;
(In fact, it can be up to 15 days as they said they will try to reduce the delay time as Lil is one of the best games on the site there.) :)

With only a few days until the next update, I'm finally getting around to writing up my thoughts on lore/meta-plot stuff from 0.46 - I'm nothing if not timely!

There's a brief passage in "Now & Forever" where Sensei starts to think about his childhood trauma. Personally I can only make sense of his train of thought if Nozomu raped Akira, though maybe (hopefully?) someone else has a better explanation.

You managed to put together a lot of what I thought about the matter myself, but especially hits the nail on the head on your final thoughts.

I feel like if Nozomu raped Akira it risks it becoming too much. Even worse than Saki having done something to him. Why would all his trauma be Sekai related in this case? Even when Nozomu appears it is in relationship to how he takes Sekai from him.

Unless they really have rewritten the past so many times that different Akiras have been raped by different people, I feel like, yeah, it's too much. I already thought that the Imani stuff was too much, imagine if Akira was triple teamed by all family members (with the exception of Yuu, which no one remembers for whatever reason).

This has been my theory on Maya for a while now too. Given how she’s described by others as just appearing, and especially with the most recent way she’s talked about by Ami, it seems fitting for now.

While I don't hate this idea, I'm still not really into "aspects of Akira" as it gets really confusing about what the heck the metaphor is when we see the girls interacting *without* him.

Right now, until proven very wrong, I think that memory loss is a side affect of being *aware* of the loops, and I kinda think that Nu-Maya is somehow going to end up being maybe the starting loop for the Maya we meet at the top of the game.

Fair! It is all pretty confusing.

I know I was asking similar question before, but...

What will you do if you get isekai into LiL as 21st student (not that secret furry student)? You get there with all the knowledge about the game you already have, but consider that Sensei only wants to fuck you and he always blackouts when you try to meta talk about the game with him. Though you have the chance to talk to other characters who more or less understand what is going on, without breaking their minds.

Go to Tojo Ramen, have a bowl of tori shio, say hi to Yuki, then immediately barge into Mr. Tojo’s room.

Aint waiting for that indecisive lazy ass to crack the code. I need to know now.

Was supposed to be in response to Haruka's inspector, somehow didn't quote the post, and somehow took so long that someone else posted in the meantime, then I passed out.

Way I see it, Sekai is the trauma he spent all day thinking about, doubly so when he fell for her and then lost her, only putting her to the side when Maya replaced her.

Nozomu is the trauma he buried repressed probably before Sekai if this stuff is to be believed. I could even see Sekai starting this after finding out about Nozomu did, and doing this to provide a fucked up ray of sunshine for Akira. I'd have to go back to the shota sensei event and see if his eyes were fucked up in then, or if we could see them.

And then all of it was equally buried after whatever happened between then and the start of the game. By the time we get to a name appearing for Sekai, we're still only seeing echoes of Nozomu's actions.

To the narrators, who at various points seem to be Sensei or not, and are addressing Sensei--or not.
Click to expand...
There's several points in the game where Sensei is directly narrating, and at least one point where Sensei is doing the "Affection increased by" line. It's played for humorous dialogue one time, but this is the game where we spent a week having to go back into the game for every time the word slip was used.

Another compromised reaction of mine. Why do you all carelessly throw around the mc's name with a grand reveal like this? I feel horrible. I expected to freakout and I guess I sorta did, but it was overshadowed by anger, which is partially my own fault, but come on... one of you didn't even TRY to keep it a spoiler.

I don't know if there was someone egregiously responding to you with Akira, but didn't you clock onto it pretty early when you saw a Bonus Animation? or did you manage to forget that one and then get it ruined?

I know for my part I made an effort to censor current update information if I had to mix posts about it. Outside of that though it's pretty hard to be expected to keep things censored. The stakes keep raising as chapters go on and we have to start talking about more and more fucked up things where it feels appropriate to use his name now.
