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

[TheGoodPastor]

If you really wanna know it's Chika and Rin, I dunno if you want to know more than that or how far in you are.

I can't remember the name of the event off the top of my head but it's towards well into chapter 4

 

[FireCazador]

What event, and who is she doing it with in #3?
Are we getting cucked at last?!

You are missing context but if that annoys you, you are really close to spark another fire after "Maya's incident"

 

[daagagsdgd]

Just got to Sensei-Quest and to whoever made URM, I must say "May God bless your day." That part is literally unplayable and serves only as a pointless mocking to grinding games and their players (That is, LiL and us). I can suffer weird puzzles and quiz but I will never stoop to that. Even grinding affection has many flavour texts.

 

[barglenarglezous]

You are exaggerating the problem a bit.

I'm not.

Sel is a weeb, he knows Japanese culture, and cites Persona as a major influence on the game. Thus, he knows the cultural context of Haru's story -- the heiress with no brothers will not inherit the company or the family fortune, her husband will, and the husband will be chosen based on business acumen, not compatibility with the daughter.

Her eventual husband will be Mukoyoshi, and in Japan, it's common practice in family-owned businesses when there is no male heir.

The only difference between Haru and Touka's situation is that Touka hasn't met her eventual husband yet, so she still has a chance that it will be a decent person and not a violent abuser like Haru got paired with.

Daughters of wealthy Japanese families are commodities who are granted very little agency in their lives. We see this more in Tsukasa's story (who's painfully aware that she's The Spare and will only be truly valued at all if her sister dies before marriage), but it's still present in Touka's story. She's just managing it better than her sister (so far).

That's not the only difference, though.

Yeah, whoever she winds up with will probably become head of the household so that aspect probably applies but we already know that due to the circumstances created by Kumon-mi being isolated both Touka and Tsukasa have been expressly allowed to choose their own husbands based on love and not station. They're not having arranged marriages.

That's all well and good and I'm totally on board with Touka being inspired by Haru, but I feel the story is telling us directly that Touka's story is branching away from that. From the words of the event that NikLid posted, Touka feels that this isn't her current fate and she's kinda right. With the state Kumonmi being effectively blocked off from the outside world, the status quo is out of wack and therefore the inheritance of her family assets are kind of in limbo. This is also before considering the whole Reset as part of the equation (which may or may not be linked to the isolation of the city.)

I do agree that Tsubasa seems to be nudging her to be more free-spirited and there's a possibility of this stemming from a feeling of past regret, but it's also been heavily impied that Tsubasa HAS has been up to some wild stuff in the past.

I too think that you might be exaggerating the problem a bit even though your points are still relevant. I feel you might be extrapolating a bit too much of Haru's story and attributing it to Touka directly when their circumstances aren't 1:1.

Ye nah there was no way I was ever gonna do Sensei Quest without URM. XD

You can thank 0x52 for their glorious creation and hard work.

I did it without URM twice, thank GOD I had it for the third time.
Also I just got my green save caught up and I have a question.


During the Ami + Nodoka threesome Ami makes mention that at least five of the class would watch Sensei and Ami go at it while touching themselves.

Now I have a pretty strong suspicion that she knows this due to the resets and that Maya is one of these who would, but who might the others be?

*Borrowing this from Moonflare*

Welcome to "Who Said This" *Pervert Edition*

The rules are simple, match the quote to the person in the H-Scene. Score anything less than an 8/10 and you'll be spit- roasted by two buff dudes. And if you're into that and purposely fail, you'll be subjected to light genital torture. If you purposely fail again, I dunno go see a therapist...you're a masochist of the extreme variety and you need help. Good Luck!

How'd you do? Are you gonna look like a pig at a luau? Did you pass with flying colors?

Resounding 0/10, I skipped most of H scenes cause sex is boring :gigachad.

The two types of man.
This is the only round I did well on.

Apparently able to get through 90% of the question exam in game but not these lol.

Noriko, Nodoka, Makoto, Ayane, Sana, Kirin... with strong possibilities of Rin, Molly, Maya, and Futaba. Uta would probably be jealous as she hasn't gone to pound town yet, same for Touka. Yumi and Io would probably be disinterested, though Yumi would likely low-key stealth peek. Tsuneyo would talk about random noodle based shit, whilst Yasu asked who wanted to feed the ducks and Chika decided whether to be furiously jealous, or join in.

 

[thefetussundae]

Way behind in the story but I fucking knew Yumi didn't shave right from the start, she just gives that vibe

Not sure how people give you vibes about their genital grooming preferences... or why you even have those thoughts... but ok...

 

[shmurfer]

I'd say Sana, Miku, Molly, Nodoka and Kirin are guaranteed watchers, and that Maya absolutely wouldn't watch, it'd be torture for her. She'd reluctantly join in a threesome but she needs to be touching Sensei.

 

[TheGoodPastor]

My guess is the same but swapping out Miku for Rin. Miku's never shown interest when Sensei jokes about joining with Makoto that I can remember but Rin both watched and masturbated when she caught him and Sana, so she seems like a pretty strong contender to me lol

She's talked a bunch about not needing to be exclusive as long as people are happy. Rin and Makoto want exclusive relationships

 

[TheGoodPastor]

Yeah, but she's never indicated any interest in involving other girls in their activities or any interest in girls in general. I always just got the vibe Miku takes a pretty casual attitude towards sex is all, not that she's interested in anything past one-on-one action. It's only quite recently she's even been comfortable around porn

And yeah, Rin might ideally want an exclusive relationship but she's already shown that's not the only thing she'd be interested in. She obviously knew Sensei was seeing a bunch of girls when she sent those texts and she let Chika go down on her despite not being in an exclusive relationship with her. And, most importantly, she's already watched him with another girl so she's already taken advantage of this kind of opportunity before.

And Chika is fine with her going down on Rin, fully knowing that she is "cheating" on Sensei?

Have you not gotten that far yet or are you suggesting something about Chika there?

If I remember it's the former so I guess I'll explain without detail if you wanna know;
