Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.54.0] [Selebus]

[qaz098]

i think Sensei staying at Niki house for an escape from Sekai make sence because the only flashback we seen of their realtionship was when he was wizard age. we dont know what they was like when he got older unless i am forgetting a sence.

but the way he frezes up when he see her in the game feel like he scared of her and how he blackout from hearing her name. this could just be because he upset over her death but when he hears people say Ami parents are dead or Ami talking about how she misses her parents dont trigger him just her name.

i think what breaks Sensei isnt him remembering something because he remember stuff with Niki fine. it remembering something he whats to block out and forget and i think that why Maya cant tell him anything with out breaking him.

i think at some point Sensei wanted to avoid Sekei and was scared of her but she was to good at getting in his head and making him think he loves her and needs her. maybe being with Niki made him see Sekai in a different light

3 new previews came in so I updated "preview pt.3" post. Incase anyone hasn't seen it yet.

Do you think you could reply to the thread from now on instead of updating your previous posts? It would be easier and I know nobody would mind extra posts in this thread

If memory serves correctly, Selebus has characters bring up pegging Akira more than once, and now Haruka wants to see it as well, yet Akira is super against it, so I don't know whether Selebus likes or dislikes pegging content.

I believe I've read it said here that Sel isn't into anal, so I always assumed that pegging was out too. I could be wrong, but I always figured it was one of those things teased for a laugh that will never happen especially with how Sensei is so adamantly against it.

Some gut feelings on Sekai maybe also having an abnormal origin similar to Maya and Nao-chan.

This is a subjective conjecture based on the one similarity Maya and Nao-chan share: the lack of familial or simply concrete background. If this trait can be extrapolated, then the person with the same red eye as Nao-chan might also be an entity who "came into being" in Kumon-mi. Since Ami does has a much more believable background, then the next candidate with exactly the same eye color and with more unveiled secrets is Sekai.

Alas, "Ami has a much more believable background" isn't something I said with great confidence (I mean, look at all the freaky ass Ami variants we've seen so far plus the real/fake Ami theories and tell me she's a normal fucking teenager ). I am more or less just purposefully trying to see if Sekai/Maya is more possible than Ami/Maya. It just feels like Maya is much more equivalent to Sekai than to Ami in terms of roles in the play.

How is the game? It's been a while since I moved away from this thing, I liked the existential horror but the game has some very heavy themes and the MC is a trash of person.
Sensei Overnight and other variants (Lost In You, Ressonance, etc) are more interesting to me because aren't that fucked up

Pegging doesn't really come up outside of Maki content, as far as I recall, considering she apparently pegged her husband a lot.

However, Sodomization aka Anal, does come up a bit:

Sensei also butt raped Sara if you're having sex with her, and I know at least Ami has implied she'd be up for it if Sensei wanted.

I doubt Sensei being pegged fits the "big strong man" stuff I'm assuming Sekai drilled into his head growing up, though.

Edit: Actually, maybe HOPE was referring to something else when they mentioned taking something from Sensei. He might need to literally watch his Ass, lmao.

Still has "heavy themes", and the MC is still trash, but he's actually trying to be better, now, maybe. We'll see how long that lasts. Still rather fucked up though. Albeit, I suppose it depends on your perspective, just how fucked up.

Personally, I feel like Ami is overly demonized even in-game.

Did Ami write this?!

Bruh, this shit:

And what comes before and after it in "From the Desk of the Ninth God" alone is straight up 1100/10 psycho shit.

I mean I love the chaos so I don't want to straight up kill her yet, but good God.

I mean, it's an exaggeration, but calling it "straight up 1100/10 psycho shit" is a big reason I think Ami is overly demonized.

Ami definitely has problems, but literally everyone does. She has been acting up quite a bit recently though, unless something supernatural is going on which I wouldn't be surprised by. Ami is seemingly just as broken as Sensei:

But she has literally no one actually there for her (Besides arguably her broken Uncle). It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad.

I couldn't really blame her for going "psycho" at this point, lol.

 

[fdsasdf_p]

How is the game?

Jokes aside, heavy theme and scumbag MC are still there but it's not too incessantly about them to a point of quickly overloading your sensory (at least for me). If you like existential horror I'd say give it a try, the two factors that makes you hesitant actually blend with it quite well, or at least it makes me care more than I normally would.

i agree with Ami being overly demonized with the fact people act like she already murdered when so far we seen her help people like Makoto who throught out 3 chapters we heard her say she dosent like her and is the person she dislike the most out of the class and she still helped her. i mean the wrost Ami has done is just be way to clingly and tell/yell at the other girls to stay away from her uncle.

i know people bring up Maya saying Ami killed in other loops but there 2 things about that. 1 being that Maya herself said it not her normal self and dosent blame her for it. and 2 being can we really trust what Maya says where she has a habbit of being wrong or lieing about things. like she lied and said Noriko is a psycho and Sensei should stay away for his own safety. also Maya who said she saw Ami killed or torture the class a bunch of times for some reason isnt scared of Ami in fact she her roommate and sleep over her house a bunch of times. it dosent really add up

in fact 2 updates ago during the beach trip Maya said to Ayane that she herself would kill to keep Sensei to herself. i feel like Ami is set up to be a red herring because on surface there a lot make look crazy but when you look more deeply at it you see that she just a broken sad girl who what her friends and uncle to be happy.

 

[fdsasdf_p]

Side note:
I get the feeling that Maya might be Reset during next Reset. Amy, Ayane and Noriko(maybe, In Maya's School Uni.) are all dressed up as Maya for Halloween making feel like Maya is a Focus point for the next update.

In addition, this preview feels like a happy version throwback of a good memory, which is probably not a good sign in this game, especially when it comes to Maya. C'mon girl hang in there you promised us to do this for another 1000 yrs don't get reset...


Also, what is also little sad is that a Halloween season where I recognize zero reference has finally come
(but Molly and Tsuneyo look absolutely gorgeous though!)

I guess I could but I thought it would be inconvenient having all previews spread out through multiple post (4+) given the volume of post per day of this thread. I don't know what you or anyone else has their view # of posts per page set to but I have mine set to 60 and the thread increases by 1 or 2 pages when I next check in(once a day). So its quite a lot of pages when set to default 20 per page. (Not that I'm complaining, I very much like that this is a very active thread with much to say!)

I think this is the second time I actually recognize the reference. The first was Futaba as Mami. (Unless you count Yasu as Megumin)

I kind of wish I could just go back to 5 year old me and be like, "Ha, recognize this shit?":

"I'm you, from far in the future, i've come back to tell you something incredibly important, you have to trust me and never ever forget this ok!?" "ah... ok?" "alright, remember, Sensei has a very large penis." [time portal closes].

And that's the story of how Bingoogus went back in time, and pretended to be me, just to traumatize me as a child.

You know, actually, this makes me wonder how these girls would be if they were getting actual therapy.

I think only Maya has been considered "Broken beyond repair":

Albeit, I doubt they would end up much better than Io. Pills and Problems galore.
