I think you made a mistake. There is no sex scene with that green haired girl.

But i'm sure it will be very wholesome when the time comes.

I don't think Uta's explicitly stated her sexuality but she's definitely expressed attraction and blushed looking at some of the other girls at some points.

She's also had several flirtatious/sexually charged exchanges with Chika specifically in the past (e.g Chika rubbing her chin and praising her, with Uta trying to lick her fingers before Io pulled her back) so, to be fair, with this event it's kind of a running gag at this point that Uta's into Chika.

 

[aramaug]

So the current popular theory is that Ami is a God that exists only because Akira and Sekai believe in her?

No, she's a normal teenage girl, haven't you been paying attention?

*posting this apart from the original post because it had some major spoilers from 0.52.

Shouldn't Yumi be in Sexual Encounter when she was forced to masturbate in the changing room?

 

[Moonflare]

Shouldn't Yumi be in Sexual Encounter when she was forced to masturbate in the changing room?

That's up to interpretation, but imo no - because Akira's not an active participant in that. If he was guiding Yumi through then yeah, that'd be closer to it - and if he touched Yumi definitely.

Touka masturbated once to Akira's voice as well, but he wasn't really an active part of it either (imo).

Again, the checklist can at most serve as a baseline of the most clear cut sexual interactions - eventually everyone will be in the sex category, but until then, there will be a few situations that will remain up to individual interpretation.

I don't think Uta's explicitly stated her sexuality but she's definitely expressed attraction and blushed looking at some of the other girls at some points.

Uta's a huge pervert. While the Chika attraction has become a gag, there have been multiple instances where it's stated that she is attracted to pretty much anyone. This doesn't mean that she's romantically interested in anyone, that's an Akira thing imo - but her sexual attraction is just off the charts. That's more of a biological thing, as she doesn't really follow through on it most of the time, and it's the source of her inner conflict.

Maybe an easier way to look at it is that Uta is a potential nymphomaniac that heavily represses herself, further making her situation unhealthy. This is quite different from Chika developing feelings for Rin. Uta's deal is just being horny (and not getting a regular proper fucking yet). Mind that this is also quite different from Sana, in that an ideal life for Uta would likely be having a husband (a single person) that has sex with her everyday rather than rape fantasies, gangbangs and whatnot.

Sorry, had to get that theory/headcanon out of my system. Right, now that I actually read stuff, my thought is that Ami could be re previous iterations of the world. As for the abandoned school…I have to be very speculative here. School bells ringing from the bottom of the world? Wait, which school is at the bottom of the world?

Spoiler: Proof that there are only 2 high schools in Kumon-mi

Okay I am rambling yes, sorry if that wasted your time

No clue how this was overlooked. Sekai taught at Kumon-mi Academy. There are only 2 high schools in Kumon-mi, either Kumon-mi High or Kumon-mi Academy. That means Kumon-mi Academy HAS TO be the abandoned school, besides the fact that Kumon-mi High's rooftop looks nothing like the abandoned school's (from Baby Finches and other Happy Events like Trinity 1 and Letter T). Kumon-mi Academy sank in the sinkhole. We just found the sinkhole again with Io, and we *might* be getting down there soon.

oh my god Io you MVP we're gonna get down there and find some memories buried under our feet aren't we. everyone worship IO now!

again, sorry for the lack of organization, very sorry

Huh, I always assumed that "Baby Finches" was just Sensei's school from an unusual angle, but I took a closer look and you're right, it's the abandoned school. I can't believe I never noticed that before.

Spoiler: comparison

I don't think the abandoned school is Kumon-mi Academy. It's described as long-abandoned in the Chapter 1 happy events, at which point Kumon-mi Academy is still in use because the sinkhole hasn't happened yet. There are only two schools in Kumon-mi now, but that likely wasn't always true; remember the barrier only went up a couple of years before the game, and GPS shows the abandoned school as outside the barrier in Nodoka's "Beyond the Reach of God". There's an abandoned school (I think probably the same one) in the "third half of town" where Maya's festival takes place, which I talked about here. And here is an even older post talking about the abandoned school that you might be interested in.

I'm always happy to see new people joining in the theorizing here, keep it up.

I don't think Uta's explicitly stated her sexuality

She has in fact confirmed she swings both ways.

the fact that she actually stated that she's bi is making me dislike the interaction even more. Thanks for correcting me tho

There are two important points to this imo.

First is that, for better or worse, Selebus is heavily into yuri. As anyone would have noticed by now given the nigh constant "but Otoha and Maya would totally be a thing" that he insists on in-game (just to give one example). I don't particularly like it either, but nothing we can do about it.

Secondly, and more importantly, is that I don't think you really can write a harem realistically without yuri. Especially not one of this size. Although "realistically" might not be at the forefront of LiL romantic dynamics, it also is quite realistic that teenage girls in a world where the one dude is Akira (yikes) would be up to experiment with other girls too.

Im starting to think Otoha is subconsciously, only attratcted to girls that have had Sensei's dick in them. That's probably why she broke up with Rin. Sensei's weiner hasn't gone into any of Rin's holes. She can smell who and who hasn't had her "little brother's" penis in their mouth.

 

[Moonflare]

Otoha literally went from assaulting Niki to flirting with Maya, so I'm waiting for her to start getting into Sekai - cause all she does is apparently go after people that have been Akira's girlfriends.

Still waiting on the Sekai x Otoha development. I mean, she's already his onee-chan. Ghost step-mom/older sister combo when?

I’ve long forgotten about the third half of the town and how it mentioned that there was an abandoned school, thanks aramaug! ~~god how do you people keep track of so much info~~

btw aramaug, do you recommend replaying the whole game often? my memory's like, really bad and so I suffer hard from recency bias in theorizing

 

[Detective Dc345]

After remembering that all 20 main cast characters are getting TSS events. The reset puzzle in 2028 where we have to name all the gods from every single TSS and adjacent events is going to be fun.

I've leaned more and more towards looking for content about yuri destruction as I continue to click and click over Sel's yuri events

 

[shmurfer]

Although, as a final note, given what we've seen in the last updates, I think one should not raise their hopes too much on amazing storytelling on that front. Selebus wants everyone to have sex and his ways to making that happen have been quite a mixed bag (looking at the latter Nodokathon 2 nonsense).

In an attempt to figure out whether the chapter is ending next update or not (I think not at this point), I had to count who is having sex with Akira. This reset it was 5, with Kaori getting reset sex and mutual masturbation and is probably due invite events, Nodoka getting invite events and Molly, Sana and Noriko getting sex names.

I count 9 main girls who aren't fucking Akira yet, not counting Miku (so Yumi, Rin, Maya, Yasu, Touka, Otoha, Tsuneyo, Uta and Io) and 9 side girls (Chinami, Karin, Yuki, Wakana, Osako, Tsubasa, Tsukasa, Rika and Nao-chan)

If we keep getting meaningful progress with 4 to 6 at a time per reset, we'd still need 4 more resets to fit them all. Two more resets of infinite spring aka an extra chapter's length, and two resets for Chapter 5 when Prime is back before Chapter 6 dark route.

The underlined have had sex with him as a milestone but otherwise do not engage.

Well, yes and no.

I'm not mad about it, not even really disappointed, because I was already disappointed with basic stuff, and this was a long shot (although with enough evidence not to be tinfoil).

Edit: At the end of the day, what one can do? Write a story that doesn't have the issues that bother you, I guess. Although obviously I could never write LiL, that's just not a story I personally have to tell as a writer. It's likely people will see issues in my writing as well, but hopefully not things that make less sense in retrospect or underwhelming reveals.
