I don't know where the story will take, it's some the game is more repetitive I means it's too many words in it and you don't know what is going on to the story

I mean, I don't think it's wrong for someone to attribute a portion of the blame here to the person who thought up, organised and facilitated everything. The fact that she didn't put a gun to anyone's head doesn't completely absolve her.
Obviously Sana and Molly are responsible for their own actions but they're the ones getting slated for what they did anyway, it's not like people are ignoring or absolving them in favour of shitting on Nodoka.

I didn't think that she would even be an option, since it feels like the game has been trying to force a different girl on Akira the entire time. I was pleasantly surprised.

Guilt isn't a limited quantity, multiple people can have responsibility for an act. If you ask a murderer to kill someone and facilitate them doing so, both you and the murderer would be guilty. "I didn't force them to do it" is a flimsy excuse, Nodoka suggested it, went to the trouble of renting three separate rooms and rigging them with cameras, and had ample opportunity to put a stop to it. Molly, Nodoka, and Sana are all at fault here.

(Usually my posts are structured, so mind that this one is just a very big ramble. Some of the points I raise may be interesting, but you won't miss much by skipping it.)
Anyway, I think the healthiest path forward is dismissing the entire update as something that ought to be thought about. Maybe in the future its status as a weird fever dream will get diluted by (one hopes) better pieces of writing before and after. Rather than a single bizarre update consumed on its own.
Edit: Eventually I may address each individual event, but honestly I'm just having more fun on my second playthrough of TLS than engaging with it for a second time. Never before have I thought about stopping playing LiL, but it did happen during 0.49.

I hadn't really thought about it but you raise a good point, it's hard to imagine much deeply significant can come directly from Sana's actions here since it's entirely missable and not something that can just result in some dialogue variation. Maybe Sara will just be distant until the next reset and we'll just get memory fuckery as an excuse? Or just...chooses to ignore things? Blocks it out? Decides "well my daughter's adorable and I fucked my teacher so enjoy her pussy"? It'd be weird but still less out of character than most of Nodokathon 2.0 lol
I dunno, my brain's still flip-flopping on this update. I think I'm just gonna get back to playthrough #3 and pretend 0.49 started and ended with the omelette showdown rather than spend the next 2 months chewing on Nodokathon lol

Well Nodokathon didn't even happen in my playthrough. Maybe if you try to go all green, which is essentially enabling some of the worst possible scenes, your events end up with the worst possible outcome. This was quite a wholesome update for me, I enjoyed it a lot and nothing bad happened at all outside of the usual, which was honestly quite surprising. Nodoka herself was quite well behaved this time around and Sana didn't do anything bad in my game.
Man. I'm only at the first reset and seriously in love with Rin rn. Btw, should I also focus on raising lust points? Its seems like there r lots of insteresting scenes locked behind it

You joke, yet Akira's obsession to inanimate objects really grows more and more verisimilar every day.

so if I'm currently need both affection and lust points to get events. Then which one should I focus on then?

Shit, maybe Io is the girl for him after all
There are not multiple paths in this game - there is one path, which you are either on or off.

I agree with you guys, the writing has been shit lately and that's despite Selebus having more free time to work on them, what a damn shame!
At least he reached his goal of 3 million words written, good job Selly such a talented solo dev.

Socks, desks, buckets, watermelons, doors, cabinets. Sensei is the embodiment if there's a hole there's a way.

Here's what Selebus should've done:
Double down on Nodoka being a villain, instead of having Sana willingly drag her mother into this, blackmail her into doing so while she cries knowing that her Mom will see her being a nymphomaniac. (I know it sounds evil, but you guys would love shit going next level)
There is currently a "godly intervention" plot device being used to justify the girls getting extremely horny and irrational but it has been overused too much. This has resulted in the assassination of characters like Chika and Sana.
The truth is that Selebus is simply afraid to move things too quickly and making mistakes, because he's a dumb fucking idiot and wants to drag the story for some sort of world record.
He said in the past that he created characters that no longer require writing for, because they write themselves. This is correct, the problem is that he is now interfering with their own natural progression as well, and it's all because he has the need to put his own spice of writing into situations that do not require it. He has Light Yagami syndrome and his ego is destroying the gift he posseses, he's a very frustrating person and sometimes I just wish he got hit by a truck.
Selebus, you lost your spark and you're a pussy, make the chapter go DARK, and admit that you need help.

in a conceptual world without, many men in a story driven by sex, sometimes they might not want to lose that option on the assumption Akira is naturally great at it.
in any case im waiting to see nodokathon 2 and really hoping it's not as shit as everyone is saying.

Ayane's had a decent amount of a sort of... 'underlying' appearance recently tbh, like she comes up in places you wouldn't expect.
I've got my own sort of "Sensei winners ranking" in my head and I keep finding myself bumping Ayane up over time.
As for Maya I actually quite like her, obviously this 'iteration' of her is miles weaker than the one we got to know through seasons 1 - 3 but I think watching her try and find herself could be a very interesting story and I like that she's opening up quickly to things we wouldn't expect.
I do hope we got OG Maya back though, whether its just a case of her remembering or whether its an alternate universe thing I can't say.
As for the whole writing go down thing other people are on about I honestly don't think I'd say the writing is getting worse at least not personally, sure there's some things here and there that don't hit too hard or fumble our expectations but there's still a lot of good stuff.
Stomache wasn't even that long ago but it was well done, and IOs first kiss is adorable.
Yumi's recent events have almost all been bangars, and I love Touka as a whole.
I worry we brigade the "quality" of the writing just because there's an event or two we don't like.
Until we get to a point where nothing is well written for an extended period I won't call it a degradation myself, especially cause dry spots are always going to be a thing.

I don't think it's shit, I think it could've been way better
