Maybe I'll be back to talk in depth about the update, but for now I'd just like to comment a bit on a problem I've been having:
I'm not saying this kills the story, it's not like I'm rolling my eyes at the screen... but this specific part of the plot is also not doing it for me. I can't get really invested with a "problem" that isn't a problem at all from the lack of any actual possible consequences.
Maki will be away for a while, and that's really all that could have possibly happened. Does anyone care? Akira clearly doesn't and neither do I.

That's already the case for everyone in the game, even Akina Ando and Osako.
Yasu's airplane noises are definitely huggy, American Movie Star Seth Rogen actually wasn't until Fanfest's Huggy Boy Chronicles. (First mention of Seth Rogen was during Ch2, which was huggified)

Unfortunately I doubt it. While Noriko might get away with not needing a specific invite event to unlock her invites since she's already had some, players are still gonna need some prompting that she'll accept invite calls now, it's been several cycles since them.
Because she was pretty shallow for the longest time. She existed mainly in other people's events until chapter 4 (two events in ch2, two events in ch3, seven events so far in ch4)
We know it's multiple people, this update even has an example of it being Sensei in the flesh doing it, rather than a postscript Sensei narrating after the experience
Sel copy pasted the day advancing code instead of advancing the day between events and letting the normal code handle it.
No stakes for people looking for an actual change to the situation, but the point is Maki suffering, and in that regard there's plenty left to happen. Maki doesn't want Makoto to be hurt, not realising that succeeding in cutting Sensei off from her would only hurt Makoto so much more than Sensei ever could.
Maki is in the same boat Niki and Karin were in. I don't know why, but the girls in LiL need to suffer for some reason, and it feels like more than just so they have an arc each. Even if Maki can't actually kill herself, her attempt would have her suffer like the world wants her to. It would further Makoto's plot because she's really reckless right now. If she can break down over Maki's suffering maybe she doesnt need to die at the start of the dark route.

Yeah, it's hard to justify her (lack of) actions. As far as consequences go (or, again, lack of) it pretty much mirrors Niki after her whole "being NTR'd by my sister" thing in terms of consequences and it's already looking like both are headed the same way. We've already seen Sara allow herself to be gaslit into acceptance too so it's easy to imagine things winding up similarly for Maki.

I don't follow the same train of thought some seem to here that 'no death = no consequence' so I haven't felt that a lack of consequence has been too big an issue of the story so far but yeah, there needs to at least be some logical reason why she would decide not to take action.

Because Maki has very little confidence in her decision-making, both generally and especially in regards to Makoto, and the moment she tried to do anything, everyone started gaslighting her that she is the one in the wrong and everything is actually fine. Going to police or something and blowing up the whole thing along with her relations network is the kind of a big step she obviously won't take right now.

I think that's basically it, she's entirely insecure about her ability to make the right decisions, she has no faith in herself to do so, Makoto ripped right into her and her 'friends' all gave her the 'huh?' look... she said it herself at the table, there's two reactions she expected to have, and her complete lack of faith in herself and what the right thing to do meant she went with the second, cause the first has been emotionally beaten out of her... i think it's not exactly a tight excuse of Selly to write, but i do think that's what he's going for, so anyone who disagrees with it can chalk it up to bad writing rather than in-universe bullshit.
