disagree, its like such useless question, at max is some pervy god that did it or something like that... i mean, think, who or what would make this random bum go back into the past, but not only made him go back into the past but also made his grown up dick also go back in the past too?
Exactly my point! Why? In fact why only him and is there anyone else

Why? Why do you think that needs to be answered? No matter what the answer is it wouldn't change a single thing. Maybe a god did it, or a spirit, or satan himself or an alien or whatever. None of the possible answers change anything about what the mc is currently doing and will continue to do in the future. So it doesn't matter.
This is like asking why, in the walking dead, the zombies haven't already all starved to death years after the outbreak. The Answer is: "Because they haven't. Shut up. That's not the point."
Actually does matter. Ultimately, the goal is a happy ending with the harem the members in it, but what if doesn't matter. What if it's just an elaborate illusion or what if he's making changes, but the end result is still the same (especially in the corruption route). Also your comparison isn't really the same thing

It's irrelevant, and baibai already said that it won't be explained (thank god).
I don't know if I agree with that decision and definitely don't agree with that sigh of relief, but I didn't make it and it's just my opinion. I'm curious what the endgame is in all this. Build a harem yeah, but then what

We'll know when the final update is released.
Everything you're trying to figure out is an authorial assumption. It has no explanation, and it's only necessary for the story to exist. The BaiBai had to take the hero back in time, so he did, and how - these are unimportant details that he did not invent. That's called authorial assumption.
To be honest, I was also interested in how and why this time jump happened. But compared to the main theme - untangling the knot of problems in relationships with everyone and building a harem - this (time travel) is not even a minor issue.
So instead of guessing a million times - be patient and wait for the completion. Anyway, nobody but the Dev can tell, and he obviously won't.

Most stories with time travel mcguffins usually suck at explaining it in a satisfactory manner so if Baibai just wants to leave it as "it just kinda happened", that is perfectly fine by me

All I got to say don't be surpised it goes from 10 months to 1 year or more with no update release.:unsure:
Of course it could be.
The developer definitely has problems with continuing development. These things have no deadlines - they can be solved tomorrow, in a month or years. And we have no influence on this situation. It's sad, but that's life.

But to be honest, I'm not at all surprised

Thats the sad turn of events with a few developers I have seen . They start off well but things happen in Life that they can't control and the development gets put on hold. Some come back and some don't I hate that great games like this game may or may not be completed but here is too Hope.:)

Exactly.
BaiBai is trying to keep up, but it's all very sad so far. I hope he can solve all the problems (hell, I really want to know HOW the MC will convince everyone to join the harem), but if there's one thing I've learnt during my time here, it's that the fate of many good games is ‘abandoned’, alas.

Now THAT is a much more interesting question in this iAVN than anything about the mechanics of how the MC got there. (y)

I really hope BaiBai is quietly working on an update and just not talking about it much to avoid expectations... :confused:

Everything is as you say, but there are too many problems at the same time and deadlines are pressing. It is necessary not only to restore relations, but also to seduce all of them, then to convince them to join the harem. In addition, there's a financial problem that's about to come up. And it all has to be done at once, coolly and quickly. It's too much. Usually when it happens IRL, you have to make sacrifices. But that's the great intrigue of how the BaiBai will solve it. We'll see.

The irony is that BaiBai seems to be facing a similar coma of problems. Well, we'll see if he solves these problems, but it may well be that something will have to be sacrificed. And most likely it will be TM (but I hope not). It will be logical, understandable, and I'm not going to judge him for it.

I guess the gloomy weather and winter has turned me into a pessimist...

I'll join the "who cares?" chorus. It's an AVN, not a sci-fi epic. It's a plot device to get someone with an adult mind in a position to talk pretty girls into bed and have another chance to appreciate the family he took for granted.

Hell - even lots of really good actual sci-fi stories never delve deeply into the hows and whys of time/universe jumps. Erased (for me a top 10 anime) comes to mind, and it never gets explained at all...and nobody notices because - just like TM - it's about the story, not about the mechanics.

E.g., OMG how will the MC defeat the fire-breathing dragon in this room!?
NOT
Hey...I wonder if this room is framed with wood or steel, and is the paint on the wall latex or oil-based?

If one can't suspend disbelief to enjoy entertainment, then very little will ever be entertaining, no? Obviously there are limits, but methinks you might be wanting different things from an AVN than most.
I agree with your points, but just want to clarify that Erased (the manga) actually does somewhat shed light on the time travel. It's left a bit ambiguous to the readers so they can come to their own conclusion, but it does propose a theory close to the end (for the original manga). But yeah, just a nitpick.

I agree that explaining the mechanics of time travel/regression/reincarnation or whatever isn't usually necessary for the types of stories these authors/creators are usually trying to tell

Unfortunately, I'm a pessimist year-round. :LOL: I'm just hopeful this one will continue because it suprised me at how much I liked it and found it immersive when I finally got around to playing it a few months ago. I don't have the same feeling of time pressure in the story as you seem to, and unless I missed something money shouldn't be an issue moving forward, so I find it unusually relaxing and about as "wholesome" as an AVN in this genre could be.

I have not gotten around to reading the manga yet - that's why I specifically mentioned the anime and not the manga. (y) I do think that in written/static versions of stories there is definitely more time and space (pun intended) for explanation of things like time travel, so its omission there would be much more irritating to the curious reader,. I just think that for AVNs (or even animes) those details are less important because those media are more focused on the overall sensory experience than the details. Just my opinion, probably just as wrong as most of the things I say. :LOL:

Well, when you say that, I'm not so sure anymore. It seemed to me that in the near future (literally in a few days) his mother will be fired from her job, which will lead to some dramatic changes in his life. So he's rushing to set up his business and relationships with family members to smooth things over. It seemed to me that he had thought about this a lot, but perhaps my memory is failing me - it was a long time ago.
Twisted memory after all...

He said that the money she got from being fired did tide them over for a bit. I think it's fairly obvious that there won't be a repeat of last time and that he will be able to replace the mom's income with his own this time.

Oh, I think I might have misunderstood that point! I think I need to replay the game again to refresh my memory. That's why it is recommended that releases come out more than once a year...
