Well if our theories about Nozomu being Sensei brother and the ex husband of Sara it would not be the first time he abandoned someone for his objective
Also if HOPE is the callous god and Nozomu's rencarnation could make sense (maybe? xd)
Absolutely. Selebus better have this entire story properly sketched out (with nuances to be filled in). By now, after years following this game, I have extremely high expectations for the resolution of this story. Better be damn good.

Well, that specific subject concerns me, i don't know if Selly is the kind of self-involved artisté who wouldn't dare alter his magnum opus even if some jackasses on a pirate site figured his story out in one of their countless theories or if he's the kind of pompous narcissist who couldn't take the blow to his ego by having his story accurately guessed at and would feel the need to alter it any time that happens so he can continue to feel superior to the peasants and evil pirates.
It concerns me because the first option is tolerable and we'll eventually get the end of the story but there is a real risk of the second and that'll mean we either get an endless stream of stealth retcons* or eventually his ego won't be able to handle the gymnastics required to keep control and he'll light the whole thing on fire and give everyone the finger.
(*similar to how it felt when Ami was pumped up to be going psycho 2 updates ago only to feel suddenly simmered down in the next update. Take note, i am talking about how it felt, not necessarily that he did or did not retcon anything)
I think that Ami is not the killer, but something else either possessing Ami or taking her form, but that kinda gives space for the following: "Pareidolia" the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern. Maybe pareidolia is what influenced Maya's vision of Ami in whatever killed people before.
Yea after the most recent development I've downgraded Ami from homicidal psychopath to a mixture of gaslight/gatekeep/girlboss.
The way Ami acted after Ayane either seeing through or having enough of her bullshit is aligning really well with some of the toxic people I unfortunately have to deal with IRL on a daily basis. They will not self-reflect, but will keep trying to scare you the only way that has been benefacting them, even when you're in the middle of calling them out. But as soon as you snap at them once and don't allow the same tactic work on you, manipulators' verbal abuses become vacant and vain.
(like here, dropping threats instead of calling Ayane entitled horny bitch with bad taste in music)
Plus, once their bullshit got figured out, they actually don't have means other than manipulative words and/or petty tactics to try and continue beating people into submission. Ami even has to start "outsourcing" in hope for ending Ayane's behaviors because her only shit no longer works.
Since Ami's manipulative words and behaviors will only work on her close friends (Chika for example will give zero fuck on any of this), if she really won't ever turn from verbally abusive to physically abusive like Himawari suggested, this would further raise questions regarding how true Maya's claim about Ami hurting others is.
Though the possibilities are plenty, currently I am on the same boat as you, as in girls getting physically hurt is true, but Maya interpreted the cause and/or the situation wrong (a little like Tsuneyo's read to Molly's drunk scene).
Basically, Maya might've been:
Well sometimes a handwritten 4 looks like a 9, Ami is the 9th girl from top to bottom, left to right in the main girls page, Sana is the 4th, Psycho Sana confirmed, they have about the same build, only the eyes and hair are different, Maya saw Psycho Sana killing people and confused with Ami, or Ami fell for Sana's cuteness and took the fall for her.

I have a growing feeling the whole story might one day crush under it's own weight.
And i fear that for a lot open questions we'll just get a
"Those mysteries where never meant to be solved/answered but to give you something to think about"
which i think is most of the time a horrible excuse for
"I lost track of a lot of loose threads and couldn't tie them together anymore in the end"
Thank you guy who made Endgame.
The "Those mysteries where never meant to be solved/answered but to give you something to think about" is iirc even hinted at by that bojack horseman stuff.

I thought this was obvious, Sel is the king of anticlimatic endings.
Remember insane Makoto in chap 1? It got me so hooked, but then she suddenly became normal in chap 2. She doesn't even question what happened in bluejay now that she's aware (yet).
Remember when Rin felt empty after dating Otoha? She also became normal in chap 3, or to be more accurate she got sidetracked by her conflicts with Otoha. And while I do think that fits with her character, I feel like there could've been a better resolution for that story.
There's also Sara's bar and Yumi's job, which I've talked about in a previous post about how they are just there to explore the characters. There's a lot more examples I can talk about too.
It feels like the stories that do get strong moments are planned from the start. Maya and Niki are the two biggest examples.
Anyways, Sel's biggest strength is getting people attached to the cast, and I will still be here for the cute girl banter. I've talked about this a lot already. But if the story continues to go at the pace of 0.33 and we don't get some really big revelation by the end of chap 3, Sel's gonna lose a decent chunk of his following.

I do think though, that Bluejay was resolved in a logical way.
After the reset her mom went into mom mode for once, instead of acting like a friend or older sister towards her own daughter as she used to.
Also Akira had a moment where he grew and gave Makoto some appreciation she needed from him.
At least those two things shoved Makoto into a path to undo/process Bluejay.
About the revelations stuff.
I also think (if it's that what you meant) that we need more unquestionable plot points to hold on to.
Akiras name maybe, among others.
Only thing i keep on holding on for now, is Himawari and everything she seems to be connected to, like her mother.
If Sel's goin to fiddle with her like he did with Ami for example, then i see no more reason into putting any thoughts into Lil, and just out of habit continue to read Lil to the end.
Game này nó dài nên chia ra nhiều file dễ quản lý, ví dụ như event trong dorm để trong dormevents, event của Ami để trong AmiEvents, event chính để trong script, còn mấy đoạn 18+ nó lại để ở 1 file khác.

I do think Bluejay had a logical resolution, it just wasn't satisfying. That's my biggest problem with LiL, lots of interesting storylines just disappear without a proper ending, and in the case of Ayane/Ami in 0.33, it was not a satisfying ending.
I think you guys are jumping the gun a bit on the Psycho Ami plotline ending. Just because she let Ayane get away with one slap doesn't mean that she won't do anything horrible again. She still has some secret plan she needed time away from Sensei to arrange, and also a secret promise she extracted from him. So there's still a chekov's gun waiting to fire.
Maya might be unreliable, but I think Himawari/Daisy/the shapeshifter has every reason to lie to Ayane. She needs Ayane's relationship with Sensei to work out, and that probably wouldn't happen if Ayane kept believing that Ami was about to murder her.
It's not an ending, the psycho Ami arc was just put into question. Something that was needed for a couple of reasons:
First off, the Ayane character. She was already getting on my nerves this update. Of course I get why she acted like that, made total sense. But nobody wants to see characters get petrified and/or moping around indefinitely (like last 2-3 updates of Sensei Overnight, jeez what a drag). The story needs to move on and she was not allowing that.
The other reason is that we were putting almost all our focus on psycho Ami while now we have more food for thought. Look, I understand people feeling gaslighted (again), but now we have two characters (Maya, Himawari) saying opposite things. Depending on how events unfold, one of them will have more cred and we'll have something to hold on to.
I think this is all purpousely leading to make us question Maya more and more. At first, she was our beacon light, almost taking her word as gospel no matter how many times she would say that she knows little to nothing. We simply didn't have anything else.
It turns out that we were building castles in the sand, and now Maya will suffer the backlash. She will be accused of being a villain by both us and the characters, while most likely she is just a victim of perception.
