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

[Moonflare]

I'm literally asking so I can be knowledgeable enough and not be an idiot. You can either ask for advice and be an idiot once, or be an idiot forever.

Edit: Figured it out. Just right click and save link. I completely forgot that was an option.

There's nothing wrong with asking. The point that should be coming across is that the original care packages have been an endless source of troubles for users, either from the drm itself, or from the tools to go around it. And, quite honestly, they aren't even worth it in the first place. Most of us do not deal with them and don't have the files anymore.

The FanFest stuff consists of much more recent care packages which have no drm, because the version we have here is the package of individual free releases. So that one you can just install and have on your game forever. It's not amazing either, but there is at least some things that are interesting.

After replaying the update. Something that I saw nobody really mentioned is that Noriko confirms that her and Ami are the same age. That makes Ami 16 years old.

If thats the case then who was the baby Sekai carrying in "Kyoko"?


I still believe that event created by Sekai or Ami to manuplate Sensei and the audience. But let's say it was true and Selebus didn't made a double mistake with both that and this update... then what happened to the baby?

I'm playing Blue Archive, and I must say, the story and how some dialogue is written is eerily similar to our Selly boy, and for sure it's not a copy because lessons in love came out a whole ass year before BA.
But in both the MC is a blank slate character turned Sensei and thrown in a kinda distopic world with none or almost no other male character and young students that happen to like him very much despite not knowing him very well.

It a very common trope in the Denpa genre

I personally think the resets aren't going to end until the True Ending. My headcanon for the Dark Route is Himawari fucks something up trying to "save the world" and the RFTAS is trying to figure out how to fix Himawari's mess.

I also believe that resets will continue but only because I don’t think Selly would easily give up his shit puzzles.

Why couldn't that event take place 16 years ago, am I forgetting something?

 

[Visadsa]

I've read many theories that depend on the characters of Nothing is Beautiful being absolutely horrible people but I haven't played the game myself. So far , based on what I've seen from them ,they seem pretty chill but is it really that way on their game?

The whole stigma around Kyoto is very grey. If Kyoto took place 16 years ago Noriko would have just been born, since Noriko is only a month older then Ami. Noriko's birthday is July 28th and Ami's is August 31st. But Niki says something along the lines of Noriko must be running around somewhere (I cant remember the exact quote). Which would mean Noriko would have to be able to move around on her own, which is something a one month old wouldn't be able to do. Either Kyoto is a false memory which could be plausible since it is a secret reset event or there is a gaping throbbing plot hole somewhere. Or it could be both. Sel could be caught with his pants down and chalk the plot hole up as a false memory.

The resets will continue until subscribersmorale improves.

Adding to Detective Dc345, whole event tries to portray Sekai as a sad victim of forbidden love. How she is an a abusive relationship and only stays in this relationship because of Akira (even though Akira is also in a abusive relationship).


It shows Sekai in a sympathetic light and makes you wonder what would happen if Akira boarded the train. Married life with Sekai and being a dad to Ami, which is what Akira was trying to do since chapter 4. Amazing right? He should definetly got into that train and live a happy family life instead of preying on students.


Then next update comes and Akira is in THAT LIFE. In which both Sekai and Ami totally understands and accepts that this Akira is from a another world. Same looking Akira but totally different memories. And what they do? Try to convince Akira to stay in this world! And Akira ALMOST decides to stay, at least until Nodoka comes in.

Thats why i think that "Kyoko" was fabricated by Sekai/Ami/Pareidolia.

I don't think she means it literally in the sense that their ages are the same number, just that anyone in her class is "her age" in contrast to a dude fifteen years older than them. Earlier this chapter she said they're only "almost" the same age.

There's a couple ways we can establish that Ami is 14 at the start of the school year and turns 15 early on.

Either Kyoto is a false memory which could be plausible since it is a secret reset event or there is a gaping throbbing plot hole somewhere.

There's a third option, which I'm pretty confident is the right one: the discrepancy is intentional because Kyoto is a real memory, but isn't from the same timeline as the main game.

Agree!

Ami's age

At this point I do believe that care package info sheet has become an unreliable source when it comes to main girls age comparison. I am guessing it's because Selly had a vague sense of "who should be older than who", but decided their birthdays with little care.

Nah, im killing myself if Sel makes a 6 month linear puzzle where you have to remember shit or take some especific notes or you will have to pray to some god to clear it. Just imagine that he also takes a break month so its like 4 updates-nothing- 2 updates more, hell no

I completely forgot about that. Good catch.

My mind kinda shelved this to "things that vaguely make sense" cabinet very very early on because I trusted Selly to be weeb enough to have the school start in early April; this would make almost everything in Chapter 1 sensible (even the Noriko older than Ayane one that's in the info sheet). Now that you open this can of worms, there are THREE things altogether that won't make sense to me anymore even without adding care packages to the mix:

- Ayane (Sep25) being older than Ami(Aug31).
- They are the same year in high school.
- School year has to start earlier than Ami's birthday in calendar dates; otherwise we would have witnessed them moving up to next year in Ch1.

Very quickly, you'd see that point 1 and point 3 almost cannot coexist without assuming either Ayane is secretly held back or Ami is secretly bumped up (second option won't work unless you also assume Noriko is secretly bumped up as well to align with pre-established facts). So I guess it literally is like you said: it makes as much sense as the Space War if you don't look too closely.
