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

[Hungnoxu]

Hint: It's the one person that treats him how he feels he deserves and is as fucked up as him but also everyone

So he does love someone? Thats new. For the hint, uh... Sana? Because aint no way my angel Niki is fucked up

 

[Mike.Ross80]

Feeling weird, probaly still not used to this yet? I cried during Glasswalker, was feeling so emotional and thinking that Sensei was slowly becoming a better person. But then, literally in the next few events, he said he loves Maya, Noriko, Kirin, and Yuki and wanted to fuck them or sth. May I ask for spoilers about who he actually loves? Or basically he gonna "love" everyone or no one because he doesnt even know "love"?

Honestly, we don't know who he loves most. He loves all of the girls in his own way. Even now, we are just at the halfway point of releases for the game. Suspicion is that there will be the purity paths we will get at the end for all of the girls, and in each one, that will be who Akira loves the most

It's up to interpretation tbh, but I won't say anything more. Finish CH3 and you'll see

Welp, I guess I'll finish chapter 3 then comeback here later. Its either that my whole day is ruined because its not my angel Niki despite everyting or I somehow also love Maya as a character and then feel happy about that

Sekai. He's literally incapable of loving anyone other than her because he's still stuck in it. For him to love anyone else he'd have to deal with her image to him, and then rework what love is to him (outside of her influence).

That being said, the top two actual love interests are Niki and Maya. And that's because they both are linked to Sekai. Niki was the counterpart to Sekai, after all. And Maya was her substitute (in more ways than one, since she's also the Akira to his own Sekai).

For the current Akira, Maya Prime tops everything else. If he managed to recover all his memories, then maybe it'd be between her and Niki (in a fairer match).

Edit: Outside of romantic love, it's Ami. But it's hard to evaluate Ami because that's heavily forced upon him by compulsion as well.

I apologize for saying this but ngl, I laughed while reading this because this somewhat looks like a Sukuna vs Gojo analysis or sth like that(prime to boost up power). To add to that 'vs' thing, there must be a Niki Prime in the future right?
Thx for this, my day wont be ruined because Niki still there

Mega seems to be fine.

There is an answer to this but it's spoilery.
Sekai and Maya.

I've been thinking about this for a while and honestly I think it's a clean sweep for Maya Prime.

He basically abandoned Niki for Sekai and ended up having Maya fill that hole in his heart and she takes a mantle of great reprieve for Akira, with her being the one he can lean on. She's also the first person that causes Sensei to crack as opposed to the other way around, with him confessing feelings flat out during the beach trip because he literally couldn't stop himself. I think it's very noteable that there's no narrator involved in this segment as with nearly every other character he has a whole ass monologue internally about why it's a lie / facade.

They don't even kiss that night, yet he's compelled to try and write again for the first time in forever, something he shows no conscious care for anymore until then, and doesn't try it again later.
If Maya can hit him that hard by barely saying or doing anything, then I don't think even Niki can compare, as she needed memories to illicit a similar reaction.

In a "Sensei True Love Tierlist" IMO it goes Maya Prime > Niki > Everyone else up for debate here and after.

I don't know how I never noticed this: Does Rin have the same eye color as Futaba and Nodoka?? Or is it actually slightly different?

If it is the same that really stands out. Look at how many different kinds of blue eyes there are, I've been using that as kind my guiding philosophy when it comes to eyes; if eye colors are actually the exact same, it's intentional. Either I need to reevaluate that belief or Rin's biomom might be involved with Nodoka's weird situation???

Tears flooded my eyes.

 

[Hungnoxu]

I dont even understand what Prime mean here. So I will make a joke then go finish Chapter 3. Sel r holding back Niki with only 14 events in 0.49 (first 6 events dont even do much, almost nothing, only after Glasswater there r big impacts on both Niki and Akira). Therefor, I believe Niki Prime gonna appear later plus full memories Akira then beat Maya Prime easily. Mark my words

 

[Squalicorax]

I cannot wait for you to finish chapter 3 lmao

 

[Hungnoxu]

I saw someone said Maya Prime, someone else said Ami Prime. Aint no way my Angel Niki doesnt have Prime form and have to rely on Akira having full memory in order to be on bar with Maya. Mark my wordsssssss

It'll make sense when you get further.
Don't look into it too much you'll just ruin your perception of what's going on.

Found out that scientific research has a secret option if you get Ayane's affection to 2000 before the event (Not in the guide)
Is there any other hidden events tied to her affection?

 

[NikLid]

Even after months, my opinion remains the same.

Red path = happiness now, much sadness later.

Green path = sadness now, much happiness later.

For me, the Green path is the path of an obedient puppet of the gods. Your hopes for a happy ending rely on the gods deciding to reward you for your obedience.

 

[Moonflare]

Without getting into spoilers, "prime" means a certain version of someone, since it's clear from the early on that we're dealing with time-loops, and people would have different versions of themselves throughout.

Spoiler: with spoilers until the current update

Yes, this is one of the reason as to why we recommend everyone play with URM, since it will notify you instantly of this. Regardless, there are three events so far that have hidden Ayane affection requirements in the thousands:

1. Scientific Research (Himawari eating lamen)
2. Miserably ever after (hidden song choice)
3. Post-nut clarity (Himawari gets scarf from Ayane)

For me, the Green path is the path of an obedient puppet of the gods. Your hopes for a happy ending rely on the gods deciding to reward you for your obedience.

That's giving Selebus more credit than what he deserves, when the green path includes stuff like having to see specific events before other ones, in such a way that there is zero in-game reason to do so, and requires meta-gaming (like seeing "Abyss" before the onsen trip, or the deal with Good Homie and "Schadenfreude").

 

[TBone9]

lol and I thought it was something like a green flag route where you are as nice as possible.

If anything, green route often involves being worse/more hurtful, at least in the short term.

I agree, but there are multiple complications to this that hinge on Akira not having full recollection of his memories.

Spoiler: On Niki

So Niki, for all that I love Maya, was never pushed out due to lack of feelings but rather because they were overwhelming. Akira (for good reason) recognized multiple times that he didn't deserve her, nor did he want to put her in the position she now finds herself in: having to progressively compromise her integrity because she locked herself with him.
