Yeahhhhhhhh. I would never be enough of a degenerate to recommend this game to my friends but if I did I would tell them it's almost unplayable without the guide mod. The actual "game" aspects of this game are poorly designed.

I had a theory a while back, that every reset, Ami gets replaced. Like there is this template Ami, which creates different Ami's who has a mission every loop. When she fails to complete she gets discarded.
Replaying through the game, i am convinced Ami knows about reset and loops, sensei's love for Ayane and Maya. (i made post about their facial expressions to the other girls and it's meanings. )In second reset, she ask help from sensei, about something.
Which made me think "yes she knows but not the mastermind, maybe another victim, who doesnt like what she does."

This belongs to “it makes sense if you don’t think about it”, though I must admit that I’d love a spontaneous combustion force field idea since that sounds positively hilarious.
You mean, building big ass walls 3 miles offshore in the sea at the bare minimum to section off a sizable coastal area and prevent civilians from entering/leaving their confine via a public beach (not even a port)? Yea…this also belongs to “it makes sense if you don’t think about it”.
The core idea of that is to paint a mental image with minimal efforts and thoughts
Since Sel himself said (in fanfest AMA iirc) that he didn’t really think about placing each Kumon-mi location on a map and constructing an actual map of his city, I didn’t think he had put enough thoughts into how this wall plot device would have to look like to survive even the most basic logic interrogations.

I mean it's not unplayable without it, or else nobody would have ever played lmao. But I do agree I'll probably start playing the game using the auto VN stuff going forward because I am actually sick of looking for the god damn events whenever he isn't doing some big chain update 5 times back to back.
Well, Yumi had to go an make me feel things even stronger for her at the end eh. Now I wait. It took long enough but I am now a subscriber to his work.

Will never happen until the game has a final update. It's too big to compress every month.
Though someone dedicated could do it twice a year I guess.

I never said it didn't, I was just saying it's possible there's something preventing anybody from leaving via the ocean too.
The whole concept of one entire random city being walled off because of a space war is already something that doesn't make sense lol

People are also forgetting we've seen where the street ends, the fact it has an end implies we aren't in regular japan anymore.

Which is precisely why this subject is ridiculous to either argue about or try to find concrete logic in, it's a macguffin, it's made for a purpose, it serves its purpose, end of discussion... i get that perfectly ordinary human curiosity wants to poke around in it but it's a complete waste of time, there are moments in the story itself where it's explicitly stated to not think about it and its solid advice... you won't find answers, cause there aren't any, you won't find a grounded explanation, because there isn't one... just ignore it.

Why are you so surely assume that Kumon-mi has anything outside the wall now?

There have been several moments where Akira and Nodoka have already left the barrier, which means that there really is still a world outside of it,

Doesn't make sense? Well there is something interesting to compare if you've paid close attention.
In Nothing Is Beautiful there is no space war at all. Yuu fabricated the existence of aliens to cope with fact that his mother died of cancer. He rewrote the past by his imagination.

However, in LiL where Yuu's world is nothing but Terminal 22 to them, the memory of Yuu we shared with treated aliens and space war as real event. Yuu even said he wanted to revenge for Saki's parents murderered by aliens while in NiB he literally told us Saki's parents were butchered by one of the neighbors, not aliens whatsoever. What's going on here? The make-believe of Yuu was realized in Terminal 23? If Yuu's world was Akira's home according to Nao, what's Akira's world to Yuu?

Hi everyone. Does anyone have anything that helps you find your way around this story? Because every time you have to search the wiki to avoid missing an event and even have a logical order of the "linear" story? Like a walkthrough mod or something? It would be much appreciated from you. Thanks in advance.

Download the AutoVn mod on page 1 and the guide mod also on page 1, this will help you a lot.

Just the guide mod will do the trick. It's in the post description. AutoVN mod automates everything but not recommended for first playthrough personally

There is a walkthrough mod on the first page which is an in-game tool that displays every event available at a single time, and the hints/requirements to them. No one should play without it tbh. Always make sure to take a look at the hints tab before engaging the following event.
The AutoVN isn't optimal as it is a tool for those that simply can't stand the nature of the game. The thing is, the game is meant for you to play it, and even though the AutoVN may try its best, things will always be lost by forcing LiL to be a VN. It really should be a last resort for people that just can't stand LiL and wouldn't play it otherwise.
Lastly, there is a puzzle guide, also on the first page. On every chapter of the game there will be at least two puzzles during special events. These are not covered by the walkthrough mod, and you should consult the spreadsheet (puzzle guide) when it happens.
For anything else, you can consult us. If asking about a specific event, inform its name, or at the very least what's happening/who's saying what, so that we can identify it and troubleshoot.
There is also a useful tool called URM, that I recommend you install. It isn't needed, but it will inform you of variations during the events, and enable you to change some variables instead of grinding later on.

''URM'', ''variations'' what exactly does it do? I don't understand both terms. You should know that last year I did chapter 1 by referring to wiki. And in this discussion that I occasionally follow, I often see the word 'variations' and it also seems to me something with DRM. Can you explain to me please?

Seeing certain events, making certain decisions, or having enough specific girl stats give you either different dialogue during certain scenes, or extra options during choices. URM pops up in the corner when it detects the path is about to split on the next click.
An example, you can tell Kirin that you're into cartoon horses. The game saves the choice as "brony" and if you're a brony there's a bunch of Kirin and Maki dialogue that you'll see.
If you want to see what you're missing you can use URM to force those choices. However, you should not stay on those choices if you had to URM into them, otherwise you can damage your save and we won't know how to fix it.
Since you're at chapter 1, do you know if you're still on green path? (Not missing any events on any character's page)
Since you're about to add the guide mod, this would be a good time to check if you've made any choices that are making you miss events, and whether you want to continue knowing that there's a path that lets you see everything. Chapter 1 doesn't take that long to text skip through to fix stuff like this, and you could URM your stats back to what your current save has.
