Well... I've caught up for the most part. Still haven't finished 0.50 but I feel like I'm getting tired of this shit.
I dunno lads, either I'm just tired tired, or Sel is losing his mojo. Chapter 4 has been the worst in terms of moving the plot forward. Ch1 gave us the world exposition, Ch2 tore Sensei down bit by bit, Ch3 rebuilt him in his own eyes and started sorta redemption arc (before spectacularly shattering it at the end) and Ch4 is... him being sad and dysfunctional?
I know Sel doesn't like upsetting the status-quo, but fuck me, something has to move in relation to the main fucking character! Or the story! Or anything at this point!
Chika losing her shit and breaking - good, yes, awesome - she is so fucking irrelevant now that it hurts.
Maya agreeing to learn shit about "old Maya" and actually being a supportive girlfriend - amazing, cool, yeah - that was stated how long ago? 3 updates? 4? Still hasn't done shit. Except agreeing to Ami threesome only to be molested by her during the reset and getting openly cucked.
Niki moving in and wanting to change something - holy fuck yes, that is very promising! - it didn't change shit. Invites are still a thing and Akira deflowered a girl on the couch while she's at home. And from what I've read - it's even less relevant now, coz Ami's a fucking cunt.
Ami being an insufferable incest goblin - hasn't she always been? Since like chapter 2? Della was one of the best events of Ch4 and I was hoping that Ami would see some change moving forward, but not "more of the same psycho manipulative bitch" change. That's not a fucking change, she literally was doing the same abusive shit in Chapter 3.
Sana turning into a nympho - yeaah, okay, a bit of a stretch, but sure - aaaand she's just unhinged now. I get being horny, I get being destructively horny, but that stunt at Sensei's house and with Sara in 0.49 is just... Not very believable. Molly is destructively horny, so she does stupid shit like trying to actively seduce her teacher, lashing out at a girl who's fucking her crush and rationalizing her own rape. Sana is like "fuck it we ball" and she's terrified of spaghetti. That's just bullshit.
Io is getting some characterization besides self-deprecation - awesome! Stomachache was extremely uncomfortable, on par with Lavender's Green - but she still feels like a side-character. Same with Uta.
Tsuneyo and divine stuff - yeah, great! - it didn't change shit globally.
Pros:
Tsubasa is interesting and mysterious.
Chinami/Tsukasa subplot was amazing. Shame it went fucking nowhere.
Rin finally stops being gay, hooray! Only took 5 years.
Yumi and her story is awesome, from patching things up with Akira to having Pareidolia sit in her head.
Kyoto is insanely good.
Sekai is really interesting.
The rest of the cast are doing jack shit for almost 2 years real time. Chapter 3 ended in October 2023.
