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

[shmurfer]

Not sure if I've mentioned this before, but that may not actually be Ami's perfect world. It may be Sensei's:

Personally, there's too many dick moves ignoring Ayane and Maya for it to be Sensei's perfect world. Even in the screenshots you have, he talks about it like he's resigning himself to be happy. Sensei's perfect world is probably closer to only having Maya or someone in her spot who won't leave him, and no one else expecting sex from him, though he's been changing as he's started acknowledging he loves some of the girls. (Even yesterday I was seeing an event where he references this fact, and there's an amifingered check which leaves Ami out of the list)

Remember Ami wants Sensei to be happy, and can understand sex makes him happy in the never healing sense of the word. She'd be willing to make a similar choice to Chika, sex with other people as long as he loves her the most, and she got rid of the competition that would make him happier than Ami (So Maya, Ayane and the Nayakamas)

And just from the screenshots you've posted, Sekai is ready to cheer for him fucking Ami, like the big climax to a plan coming together. It's not like she's still staying abstinent. If anything, it's a indictment against the previous Sensei they had who had to have been underperforming in some manner if they were ready to abandon him within like 10 minutes of realising he's been replaced with someone better.

Oh, almost forgot about the 4th reset chain. Being Ayane truly is suffering. I wonder if, in a non-existent time, she'd have ever gotten over him.

I'm not sure. Ayane was definitely obsessed with him:

I don't recall Ayane in the post Ami's death timeline, though. Maybe she moved on.

I don't wanna download this game through Steam. I have too many normies-friends.
And we don't have a thread with this game, I guess, since the search function doesn't work

Pretty sure steam added a 'hidden/secret/nonpublic' game function a short while ago for this very reason...

I love how ironic it is that Incest and NTR are so popular in Japan, but both are very illegal. Especially NTR.

 

[Hungnoxu]

I need someone to analyze Touka for me. What does she mean by this? And like, the last time I saw her getting flustered over what Sensei said was way back when he first met her so I just assume that she doesnt feel anything with him. But I barely even understand what shes been thinking recently. And why an apartment as a gift tho?

Exactly what it sounds like. She's romantically interested in Akira, and has been for some time. Now she's acting on it, including the apartment (which serves as both displaying what she has to offer and by creating a secret place for him that is more or less under her control). This gets developed later, including further explaining her thought process (especially about interrupting Maya).

How is ntr illegal? I mean, many would argue that it should, but the question remains. Also, incest is legal in Japan (as long as both are aged 18+).

Edit: What should actually be illegal is the fact that this damn website doesn't have the netori tag, which is the one redeeming aspect of cheating.

 

[Hungnoxu]

Touka is actually interested in Sensei? Wow, shes really good hiding it. Haftway through chapter 3 and its crazy good ngl. And I swear to god Sel have to remind me every 3 minutes in the game by putting "Girls r hot", "Girls kissing each others r hot" in every events. It goes from "Aw, Rin likes girls thats cute" in chapter 1, "Wow, many girls I know now like girls and more new girls r like that too, cool ig?" in chapter 2 and now "I get it Sel,u love lesbians and girls kissing" in chapter 3. A line from Futuba literally sums up what I'm trying to say

We definitely do, it's where I got the link from. It's a smaller game than it looks on steam, I wouldn't have posted the link without the trailer exclusive music being relevant.

It's just renamed for a steam release, suspiciously similar to the other game that sold 1 million copies on steam. This is the one I'd recommend if you haven't played it and that trailer got you interested. Use the download links in the translation / revision mod imo (Weeby accurate translation), official translation is a little "you don't hate localizers enough" for my tastes and the font is shit, and the translation that got it popular on the site is never going to be 100% finished for sad reasons.

 

[Yog'Sothoth]

At risk of putting braincells into a sensei reset trip. Kaori and Nao-chan still existed as not paper people.



Out of a few missable events you have to see every event the game throws at you. You can't pick a single girl. There's a few facades at the start of the game and most of the horror comes from that. The game is designed to filter people the dev doesn't want to play, even if they're probably going a bit too far. Give it a go, if you like it you'll be ruined for other VN devs not being nearly as good at writing.


Get the guide mod, pretty much non negotiable. AutoVN if you will quit over the grinding.

Good to know, thanks for that, also, do i REALLY need the guide that much? I'm usually the type of player to explore a lot but do we have some options that are that convoluted?
As for other VNs, I'm currently playing CK (waiting on Arc's big update now) and Eternum, both I really enjoy the writing aspect of it, I expect LiL to be at least just as good as these two (I'm also playing AHitR too but that story's still not in the same level)

This is a story about a dude that kills himself and yet "reincarnates" in the body of a highschool teacher. This strange reality he finds himself is in a time-loop of every few months, and every girl is interested in him more or less. All the benefits and no repercussions basically.

The only minor setback to it all are some bizarre dreams/hallucinations that happen to him from time to time. Mostly involving some deranged imagery that blends taboo sexuality and religion.

Thus, the horror comes from two sources: the lost memories of himself/the new body he's in (personal mindfuck), and the random crap that tries to traumatize everyone (general mindfuck).

Other than that, the game is linear, you have to engage with everyone. It will present you with choices sometimes, but by choosing not to follow the "complete" road, you'll only miss content, not really be presented with a diverging path that is as complete. This is also a story about the mc, which is most certainly not the player, but his own person (as it becomes increasingly clear).

So basically Blue Archive but going on the Depression Archive fantasies of some parts of the playerbase, noted.

After further investigation it was illegal to commit adultery in Japan up until 1947. (That's the last time I get info from Wikipedia.) But you can be sued if you commit NTR on your significant other. Also apparently cheating is very common in Japan and people are very open about it. And you can marry, date, fuck your cousin in Japan but you cant do the same to siblings.

Unbased. Not redpilled.

there is a difference between incest being illegal and not being able to marry the incest partner. Legal incest just means that you'll not suffer any legal repercussions for having a relationship.

A lot of countries allow incest, as well as sibling incest (including Japan). What Japan does not allow, as is the case for most countries where incest is legal, is to marry said partner.

Marrying cousins is often allowed though. Mind you, if someone is having incest with their siblings or parents, marriage wouldn't matter that much is terms of inheritance, since they'd already be first in line anyway - both for that and other stuff you can get away with by being related. Obviously that would cut them off of other marriage benefits however.

A little help here. Ive loaded v49 but I can't get "prepare for battle" to start. What's the trigger?

Firstly, I'm not sure how good those games are written, but a common complaint about this game is it ruins other VN's due to their comparatively shit writing. (Recent updates have slowed these comments down, I think there's a bunch of fatigue that needs to be released). You should enjoy it if the game doesn't filter you out by the end of chapter 1.

The guide mod is just a quick goto solution. You can miss events in this game (and there are no routes, you need to see everyone's events) and we get so many posts about people asking why they missed events, and then they find out it's because 3 months of content ago you made a choice and it turned out to be the wrong choice, or didn't grind enough before you lost the ability to. People try to make choices that "hurt" people the least, but those nearly always result in missing events.

If you think you could commit to playing the longest VN taking all of your choices as you made them, and then when you catch up to the current update 2-3 months later, think that you'll do another playthrough but this time making the choices to see every event in the game this time (green path) then go ahead. But if you're only going to play through the game once I'd recommend making it a green path playthrough from the start, and to save yourself a ton of wiki searching just use the guide mod.

5 Imani Lust. Check the dive bar you've had an option since the 0.46 christmas party.

Why the reset puzzles, of course. Necessary to advance, and

, you will need to check the specific txt on how to solve them. Also, there's some specific choices to progress the plot like "Call XXXXX at Saturday Night", or a missable event that requires you to call the new contact that appeared in your phone with no warning, and those are just a few examples. Missing an event makes it turn red on the replay menu, which is where the red and green terms you may have seen come from. Unless you're playing with the wiki open or with the guide mod, it can be hard to know how to not miss an event.

TY, That did the trick.

 

[Hungnoxu]

Holy, Sensei is right, shes too good for him, a fucking angel. I've never been this emotional in an event.

Aside from the fact the mod will help you avoid missing content as shmurfer said, with 35 girls it can take a long time to figure out who it actually is you can trigger or need to trigger next to progress at points. The vast majority of triggers are obvious (i.e you visit them in their room or at work, call them in the afternoon/evening or visit them on the weekend) but now and then there'll be one that's not typical for that character which can make it hard to figure out (e.g calling a girl in the morning who you usually can't call in the morning). Some events also involve multiple characters and a pre-requisite might be that you need to have a certain level of affection/lust for each so it can be a ballache figuring out what exactly you need to do to meet the pre-requisite.

There's also a couple of events that need to be done well after they become available if you don't want to miss content which the guide mod will tell you about - and then there's happy scenes which almost all have unique triggers, and there are several you're extremely likely to miss if you're not using the puzzle guide for the puzzles.

All of which is to say that the guide mod will likely save you a lot of time. I have the same mentality as you and didn't download the guide mod until my third playthrough but ultimately that just meant after chapter 1 I wasted a lot of time wandering about before just tabbing out and using the wiki to figure out what I needed to do anyway lol
