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

[barglenarglezous]

Oh, he's a great writer. But he's also and arrogant asshole who believes everything in LiL is god's gift to the world.
Just say something negative about his "puzzles" in the discord. He'll read it even if he's not part of the chat and go off on you.

He's a good writer, not a great one.

Great writers don't mock their audience's theories in the middle of the story.
Great writers don't include entirely unnecessary 4000 word essays on coffee just to troll the audience.
Great writers don't bog the story down to complain about their audience.

As much as we all rag on Selebus; The man does deliver, most often on time, and they all seem to have roughly the same amount(Or more!) of content. So many people abandon their games, even when being paid for it. He clearly treats this as his full time job, which I appreciate. Some content creators make it to the point where they can quit their main job...and don't move to making their creative content as their full time job.

If we assume that he wrote the 55k words from the last update, till now...that's the length of the average science fiction novel. Every month. For years.

I'm an author; that shit is hard! At the height of my popularity, I was lucky to manage 15k words a month. I wasn't being paid nearly as much, never enough to replace my full time job, but even then I don't think I could have pulled another 40k words to save my life. That's simply ALOT of writing.

For added context:

Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy: 46k words
Fahrenheit 451: 46k words
Slaughterhouse-Five: 50k words
The Martian: 105k words

The guy is simply VERY productive, and I do appreciate that. If I have to wait a month for my next fix, I need it to be worth it.

I have to add one thing about his productivity though. Half of the word count is useless rumbling that we can live without. This game made me learn to skip "non-dialog" and it's hard to stop skipping in other games now too, I had to force myself with "this is not LiL, read it, it may be relevant!"

AAAAAaaand afaik that unnecessary 4000 word essay was a just copy+paste out of the depths of the internet.

I have skipped so much that I have had to go WAAAY back just to make sense of some things. I strongly suspect that he is literally injecting words to things that have no reason to be there to artificially 'pump them numbers up' You made the example of coffee which I agree with 100%.

I was replaying the game and remembered all the rankings about the girls, and I had a question: is there a ranking of the most perverted girls? Like, yes Lil, there are a lot of perverted people, but if we were to create a ranking, who do you think would be in the top 5?

Sana Meat Toilet [big gap] Uta, Kirin, Nodoka, Maki. Everybody else is pretty tame when you compare these 5 to the others.

In no particular order - Nodoka, Ami, Maki, Haruka, Sara.

Everyone else who's sexually active is just super horny as opposed to really perverted (aside from Noriko and arguably Kirin), these are the five real degenerates (off the top of my head). Hate to lump Sara in with Ami, Nodoka and Haru but she does finger herself to the sound of her boyfriend banging her daughter soooo

Fair enough. I guess difference between good and great is a bit more subjective than I thought.
