[69BOI69]

A: To save dev time,
B: Sel hates making sex scenes,
C: Sel is shit at making sex scenes anyway.

I'm talking early game where I'm 80% sure they were there a long time ago

Ohhh yeah a bunch of scenes got removed for being shit.
Go to the computer and look at the "Deleted scenes" section, you can replay them.

The scenes exist but the H part is missing and isnt on the laptop like the Ami dream scene, Sara bar scene, and the first Ayane "hugging"

Whats weirder is that the images are still there in the files but I just can't see them in game

 

[69BOI69]

The issue is I was using the Compressed version which doesn't has the subscribestar content enabled.

Huggy boy still exist.

Replace "who's dog is that" with "Who's desk is that" and you're golden.

 

[Mr. Douchebag]

Okay I want to completely erase Nodokathon 2 from my memory now, apparently just going Io red route is not enough.

Is there any way to put my playthrough in a red path that would make Nodokathon 2 missable without having to replay from chapter 1? (i.e, putting myself into red Ami/Sara path)

 

[Jeraviel]

And yet, Selebus has to somehow work his path towards the revelation of Sara's past. This coming from watching Akira have a threesome with Sana and Molly makes complete sense. But how do you keep the revelation if it comes from nothing? When Nodoka blackmailed Yumi, it was possible for the paths to converge because it was a matter of degree of assault. When Stomachache happened, it was also a matter of degree - the fight always happens, it's the ending that is different.

This, however, is FOUR missed events, of which only the last one is the Sana/Sara stuff. Which means that there's no ending point to reconnect from. In the green path something very traumatic happens, and on the red path NOTHING, absolutely nothing happens. Sana wasn't even there, much less Sara. It's clear to me that other than Himawari's plan, the Sara's past revelation is the big deal of the chapter - but now I wonder how Selebus will manage to pull this off in both paths, and if it will make even clearer that LiL shouldn't ever have had multiple paths (as they are).

It has to matter something. there is a reason this is happening. Something MUST have happened for things to have reached this point, to go from having consequences, to instead everything being accepted as "it is what it is".

Because if that's not the case, if all of this is being done just to facilitate the harem route in which everyone is holding hands singing kumbaya, then that can only mean that Selebus has gone mad or grew bored with his story. Is not just about lazy writing, is like taking your well-crafted piece of art and just taking a dump on it.

But I still have hope. There HAS to be a reason this is happening, and if there isn't, then that can only mean we are no different from crypto and NFTs bros who get constantly scammed by people they believe will lead them to salvation & riches.

This is why I'm now on the "There is Something Wrong" train, that may get resolved by the next beach update. I'm sure I've seen that Sel considers the game to be about 50% complete. Everyone knowing about each other and the Harem route coming together seems like it would be closer to the 80% mark (or even closer to the end). I don't see how the story grows/ continues for another 50 updates that will keep enough people entertained for the duration if the Harem starts now. Like what conflict is there gonna be?

Now the issue with the "Something is Wrong" theory, it tying back the character growth we saw for the last 9 updates while hand waving away the out of character actions. How do you do that without making it seem like the past year was a waste?

I would have thought the harem route would come together significantly before the 80% mark, honestly. Kind of hard to really estimate given we don't know how lengthy the dark route or the purity routes are gonna be. If I'm not misremembering every girl gets a purity route though, right? With 35 girls the purity routes should surely be a pretty substantial amount of the remainder.

Selly has already said that the Dark Route will be the shortest route in the game, so there is a theory that it will last an average of 6 months.

You may be right. I was thinking the Dark and Purity routes were gonna be somewhat small, but reading back, Sel said each of the 35 purity routes would be about a month.

So we might be getting close to the dark route, which explains the ramp up where everyone knows.

Now I don't know what to expect

Edit; Alright, I think I found out that the Dark Route is Chapter 6. The purity routes will be outside of the chapters, and we are currently still at Chapter 4. So still another full Chapter along with finishing this one off

I stood up for green path before... But missing out on a sweet Ayane letter might just be enough for me to fold. :\

My cope is that it is just a way to keep the paths congruent with her "being a part of the family". That we see in green path with her saying she is family because she is complicit in incest, and see in red path with her signing her name.

Overall. I thought writing was fine. Just too many lessons and not enough love.

There's a Happy Event in each characters
What the hell that means it's the whole event with disgusting and disturbing stuff in it I didn't want you to play this game it's trash find a better game not this one it's so bad

 

[r_naxo0]

So like i undestand mood of tred - everyone pissed off?

I get why everyone is pissed off but i can't be it since Sel made it clear that he would do anything for some money. And it's not surprise that the whole fanservice shit was garbage. The guy is a joke.

I'm not completely there yet, but i do fear the fanfest might be looked back on as the start of the end for this one...

imho it's burn out.

He's phoning it in now, the decreasing quality and quantity of the updates shows that he's "over it". But also it's his primary income, so it's just going to plod along, minimum viable product, until it coughs and sputters to an end that most won't care about.
