Idk, I thought this was the best update in a long time, and I thought he moved more story in this episode then he has in a really long time

It however, totally makes sense, that as we actually get deeper into the dark path that even long time fans are going to fracture, as well we were told that the dark path is gonna be dark and we all have a character we don't want to see hurt like that (poor Chika)

So, there will be more than one reset (I don't count ending reset) during chapter 4? Because, for now, we always get one middle reset... and we already had one during this chapter (during the last Halloween), so... what gonna happen?
Eh, not like the Chapter 4 middle reset was "normal" (read: like those of the previous chapters') anyway. It makes sense that if the pattern were to break, it would break at this point. So, there could be more resets in this chapter.

I actually heard he's gonna divorce himself from a monthly update for purity routes I'm expecting a bit longer than a month each, especially with the amount of events per purity route he said each was gonna be before (He did say they're gonna recycle a lot of existing images for them). Every route will release in its entirety.
By the time he's doing the purity routes he'll be working on his next game as well. This is just intuition, I've never ventured to his discord and never will, so I've no idea what he said about it. But if he wants to keep his income I see no other choice. It's inevitable that people will lose interest in the updates at that point, lots of them will decide to subscribe or not depending on the girl who's getting her route done that month, and he'll have to plan accordingly. Imagine publishing a schedule where your three next routes are Futaba, Haruka and Miku. Bye bye money.

I can see him working one month on his new game and then a couple of months on purity routes and so on. It will be a very slow process, better start training your patience.

Well first of all, I only downloaded this game years ago because of the Haruka image.

Also, if he drops three girls at a time, it will of course be a fan favorite and two "gimmies"

Rin will of course be the last

In theory, he's almost done with a game no one has heard about and yet has been working on all the while. I'm pressing x to doubt, but who knows.

When did he say that?
Some of the other regulars might remember, I can't recall exactly. That might have been about another project not his own, on which he was working on though.

Unrelated, but Selebus talking about chapter 4:

It is quite ironic that he's so happy with chapter 4 and that it speaks to his strengths, when it's been regarded multiple times as having some of the lowest quality of writing LiL has had so far.

This is what happens when you insulate yourself in a bubble filled with nothing but sycophants... they've fed his narcissism to such a degree that he's completely deluded at this point... no wonder the writing has gotten worse, i wonder if he even listens to his own internal criticism these days... if he thinks this chapter has been his best work then i doubt he does...

IDC, 0.50 is probably the best update lil ever had. I don't want to say that entire fourth chapter is this good, but right now Selebus is certainly on his peak of writing. He never were a good writer though.

The point is that everybody has his own understanding of what is good and what is bad. I know a lot of people who abolutely liked third chapter, I know a lot of people who hated it. I even know people who thought that second chapter is the best. Calling Sel delusional just because he likes fourth chapter more makes zero sense.

Game changes a lot, becoming better in some aspects (i.e. dialogs) and worse in others. And if Selebus once in his life somewhat proud - I'm okay with it. He should have quited finding his style eons ago

would you all recommend for me to try and get through the game a 9th time and see if my saves don't crash again?

His line strikes me as an egotistical statement that might actually explain why his writing has degenerated somewhat. '... being able to just do what I do ... really speaks to my strengths as a writer.' He's saying that the reason he makes a salary doing this is that he's such a great writer.

That's narcissistic and bespeaks a real lack of self-examination. It also aligns with other statements he's made to the effect that his earnings are outright proof of his writing quality. It's not hard to imagine someone's writing getting worse over time given that they truly believe such nonsense.

If they're your saves, the one reason for crashing would be messing with the code. This could come from care packages, or your own meddling, either through URM or straight up changing stuff. But the most likely would be care packages.

If they're someone else's saves, then it could be that the save is from a game that has something yours doesn't, most likely the guide mod. In that case, just install it.

Edit: I guess you could crash from your computer not being able to handle the game, but then it would likely crash from other games as well.

Damn, I have the cares packages, URM (and I did a lot of modification in my saves) and, for now, no crash or corruption.

Either I'm the most lucky guy in the world, or y'all are very unlucky.

Eh, to be fair - Sel is a pretty good writer in AVN/Smut category. He's a fairly decent one even outside the scope of porn.

His biggest flaw right now - is the lack of planning. I've been writing a lot of stuff for the past 5 years, both fiction and non-fiction, and I've realized that if you don't plan your shit - it's gonna be all over the place. Characters will become inconsistent, story will branch and develop its own sub-narratives, the main plot is gonna be lost somewhere in a ditch. Everything's gonna get messy unless you stick to at least some sort of plan.

And honestly - the fact that most characters stayed mostly consistent throughout 5-6 years of writing on a whim - that is a fucking impressive feat.

So yeah, he's a narcissist and a very egotistical fella, but he's a decent writer.

I think ultimately it will be decided by how the story ends. Take GoT for example - great story, shittiest ending, nobody rewatches it, despite very very good first 80% of the show. Couple of years ago found a story that got me hooked for like 2 months of non-stop reading - but the author just doesn't know when to stop and keeps going and going and going and adding more to the harem and going and adding... And judging by the comments, he's been doing that for 8 years with no end in sight.

IMO - end of the story is an extremely important part and the writer's ability can't be judged until the story ends.

You can't say all that and not drop a name or a link...
