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

[JackZero]

Well, I got nothing to add lore-wise since a lot has been discussed already.

Now, what I do got, is some funny dialogue:

Well that was both a horrible and wonderful update for me. Very depressing, frustrating, and sad which is probably what Sel wanted.

Some of my unintelligent ramblings...

Two things i want to just throw into the mix that i've not seen in the pot, I'm pretty sure we can put more weight into Otoha being the shotcon now, also, that narration about a... i forget exactly what it was but like, poison or sludge in Tsubasa's veins, the way it was said makes me think all sorts of things but the one at the forefront was she is sexually stimulated at the thought of Akira fucking the teens and/or maybe the wizards. I could've just misunderstood cause i am prone to that, but that scene definitely got my brain going.

 

[Angiboat]

There's plenty of horror in this VN. But if we are talking about the most terrifying single screen, it might be this for me.

I just found it funny when I saw it. Same vibe as that *fade to gray* "well MY backstory is more tragic" thing with Io and Yumi.

 

[butterfly boy]

So apparently people were saying that this update was mid... Well I haven't finished it yet but it's fucking peak and my avatar is why

If it is the truth, then Nodoka would definetely make any comment about that. But she is not doing that, so I don't think Otoha is male-wizard liker.

But she did, some mention about being an onee-san if i remember correctly, take that in hand with her knowing the poetry of a female pedo and very much not wanting to talk about it and that conversation totally comes across as Nodoka saying she knows Otoha's dark secret without outright saying it.

Yes Nodoka always talks about Otoha wanting a younger brother to do things with literally every time Nodoka gets the chance she teases her about it.

It isn't realy bad, but can you remember worse update?

33, 34 and first half of 35 ?
I'm starting to worry about the future of the game.

Therefore, my assessment of the update is “could have been better”. Let's hope this is just the seed for the new chapter.

The author needs to show the development of the characters, their relationships and sort out what he mixed up. Hence there is a lot of dialogue, empty often.

In this update much was expected and the question was not "what" but "how".
Ami died and will come back? Expected.
Maya has been reset and there will be a new one? There was a possibility that it would be deleted and forgotten, but that was unlikely..
Sensei will suffer? We've already seen vegetable Sensei, not a big surprise.
Psycho Ami protects Sensei from everyone? Not news.
We were shown how others suffer without a Sensei. No surprises. We knew this, but the author had to show it.

And again, serious events are left behind the scenes (Otoha and Rin’s breakup, Chika's moving)

The only one surprise added - who was Ami talking to in her monologues? This is definitely not Sekai (Ami she would be happy to see her mother). Another Ami (“Broken Ami”)? But why?

Therefore, my assessment of the update is “could have been better”. Let's hope this is just the seed for the new chapter.

There's a literary concept i bring up every now then when i see it and i think it fits here, in this update a lot of words were used to say very little.

My biggest problem with this update is that it provided few answers and brought even more questions. Selly needs to start bringing more answers. We already have a lot of questions. This ends up getting annoying in the long run.

6-7 more years predicted so get ready for a long run. gotta milk that sub money

 

[Pedro4545454]

I want to point on a few things...

Spoiler: Sana

I think there's a 60% chance of her reaching the roof because she's the cover of the chapter so that means there will be important events involving her now what those events will be I don't know.

I want to point on a few things...

Spoiler: Sensei and room

This actually makes reference to him leaving the room/house during the reset and only having shit after that like Maya's "Death" so he doesn't want to leave the house because he learned the lesson that leaving the house/room is bad.

Why have a social life when I can spend about 10% of my life playing love lessons?

"with this update"

You're not playing this game for that long are you?
This has been a problem for quite some time now.

 

[Pedro4545454]

There's a literary concept i bring up every now then when i see it and i think it fits here, in this update a lot of words were used to say very little.

I think Selly seriously didn't have much time to make this update and he decided to do what he does best, which is add complicated and boring narrations to understand, that's why I say this version was half done, he didn't have time to do it. a big version as he wanted and so he decided to make a lot of dialogues I inserted to increase the game time so it didn't seem like it was lost.

Yes, I started playing this game back in 0.32, I only reached the end in 0.35 and I had nothing to do and I ended up discovering the site here looking for things involving the game and I ended up staying here all the time watching things about the game now.

I've been around since 0.29 and said this every update, but yeah. This is how Selebussy writes, lots of fluff, random teenager drama that doesn't matter, always being cryptic but never reveal anything meaningful. He's here to milk Patreon money. New players shouldn't expect much from new updates if you want lore, maybe he'll drop something meaningful every 6 months if he feels like it. He probably does have some decent lore behind this story, but it's absolutely not worth the 9 years development.
Will he ever change? Very unlikely without a massive impact to his income. Which I do expect to happen several years from now if things don't change.
With all that being said though, I'll still be here until this game is finished (if it ever does...). Selebus can be really funny at times and I love the girl interactions.

 

[GSwole]

none of you thought about how this update might be in conjunction with .35? these are happening at the same time, akira trapped in the room for 2 months as said by ayane when he "left" and he never actually left. we're seeing the outside pov of everyone else after ami took him home from karaoke and is taking care of him. think we might be getting the story out of order as is the issue with staggered releases. play 35 then 36 again and see the parallels
