In theory:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Out of the entities that we know of:
  • HOPE wants to fix things
  • Wire god/USER2 wants to maintain order
  • Pareidolia wants to sing/fuck around
  • and The World Itself (possibly the main Sekai) seems to just want to watch everyone suffer, I guess, lmao.
Nao seems to want to watch, at least, Sensei dance, but implied it's half divine and doesn't want to use Sensei, while not blaming others for doing so.

Assuming that Fall is the World's season, it doesn't seem like things will go well. It was excited for Makoto to find out her father was gone, which she found out in her Chapter 3 'Whispers of the World' Event...then it seemed to torment her afterwards:

So, that's the kind of entity it seems to be.

May have also slaughtered Yumi in Reset 5 (maybe Tsuneyo?), and Ami in Reset 6 (and maybe someone else based off Makoto's texts).

Or, something entirely different is going on and going to happen.

that was the day of the sleepover, cause I'm so immersed in the lore of this game that even when I'm trying to make a joke it becomes an informative piece of theorycraft lol

You guys all talking about being old by having posted in dec 28 2020, and, on the opposite end, we have just recently found out that DeSkel probably was having sleepovers along Yumis and Tsuneyos in pre-school by then :ROFLMAO:

(still shocked by how young he is, when I'm so old I was goth before they built the first cathedral)

Tsuneyo just mentioned the 28th of december 2020 to Yumi out of her ass. I guess it was a Tojo Ramen event.
Confirmed: Tsuneyo Event "Ramen Girl".
At the very end.

[...] well, yes. That's what I said, Tsuneyo is referring to the day of the sleepover, which was on dec 28 2020, which is also the name of that event.

She mentions this to Yumi because Tsuneyo retains memories in form of dreams, that was revealed when she takes Molly to the amusement park and later is joined by Akira. She mentions this to Yumi because Yumi was also there, hence she was trying to confirm that was a real memory by asking another person involved.

The date dec 28 2020 is important to us since that first event because it placed the entire LiL timeline in the year 2020 (aka the year the resets started). If the resets started on the day dec 28 is still unclear.

That's also no one's birthday (that I recall), although it sits in the middle between Kaori's and Maya's.

I don't remember when seasons change - is it with every reset? And is guaranteed that the next season will be fall if it does change? If not, maybe fall = ch5 = dark route?
Click to expand...
Seasons change every two resets. But that could be because Spring and Fall were gone = thus, when it should have shifted to Spring and Fall, Winter and Summer just kept going for one reset longer.

Selebus mentioned that there is one more chapter after this one, and only then we get to the dark route (which would technically count as chapter 6, in his words). I base this off of a screenshot shared here in the thread, someone with discord access might look it up for you if there's such a need.

Typically every 2 Resets, and every Chapter, there's a seasonal change.

Chapter 1 is in Summer. After Reset 2 (There is Nothing), it becomes Winter and Chapter 2. After Reset 4 (A Life of Prizes), it became Summer again and Chapter 3. After Reset 6 (Times New Roman), it became Spring, and Chapter 4.

Presumably, after Reset 8, it'll become Fall (or maybe Summer or Winter. It's not guaranteed as far I recall). Reset 7 seems to be coming up, but we'll see.

Oh... and with sekai's heart inside of Kaori. Who does remember the timeline of events of akira teaching maya and noriko and the accident that killed sekai? Is there a shared time when sekai was still around and akira already giving lessons in love to maya?

thx. how do u guys remember this stuff btw? i literally cant even remember what happened 2 updates ago let alone list event names from the start of the game lol

also deskel are u at least in uni? unsolicited advice but I feel like if youre actually in high school then you really ought to stay away from sites like this. id be very concerned if I knew my little brother was browsing f95 daily (not cos of the porn but the forums, altho porn is ofc bad in its own way). i know its hypocritical but I reaally think youd be better off

DeSkel isn't in highschool, don't worry. He won't be in highschool for a few years yet.

Can't speak for him, but I think it's probably the same - I remember it cause for some time, eveytime someone asked something, even if I remembered it somewhat, I'd open the game and look for it to get the screenshot. Do it enough times and you remember things by heart. Which is why I now sometimes just quote the event's name instead of opening the game (still have to do it for obscure stuff obviously).

*Replaying the entire game at least once after you understand things more or less helps a lot as well.

We can't say it 100%, but it is unlikely. Sekai was around when he was giving lessons to Noriko, but Maya only came after Sekai's death and Akira leaving Niki. Otherwise Maya would have met Niki since they'd still be dating, and Maya came to live with Akira (not just have lessons) - which would be even stranger if he was still dating Niki "and Sekai". Thus, it's 99% that Maya only showed up after Sekai died.

Is there a trigger for the happy event in .42? I've played through and gotten all the events except for the red room.

You know, this still works. I mean if maya came after sekai's death. -btw where does this lived with him from? I admit i dont remember this. Was this part of one of the flashbacks when we see maya noriko young?- Then it could still be seen as she replaced sekai sort of.

Btw i just did thought of a good reason why maya hates noriko more then anyone else. Because of the timeline. I mean from what we have learned from New Maya, she and akira were a couple before the timeloops started. So what if maya prime never did consider any of the other girls worth of her hatred because she believed when the loops ever will stop, they will just erase everything that happened during them.

And by that would vibe every relationship akira had with the other girls. Besides the one he had with her and noriko.

Yeah, i am not fully convinced that is all either. But at least so far this makes the most sense. And would take account for the biggest difference between noriko and all those other girls who love Akira.

For me? OCD I guess. I'm a little like Tsuneyo:

Kind of sucks, ngl. I do save screenshots and double check the Wiki to ensure I know what I think I know, though, albeit that's more for others than myself. Overall: Practice makes perfect.

Also, I've been on here since high school.
I've actually set my little brother up with some stuff from here. Better than him catching a virus trying to, or getting angry and driving a car off a cliff or something.

For an example of how my mind works, I have not once forgotten my error, here:

Honestly, I may have confused myself lmao, so if I'm not right, I'll eventually rewrite what I wrote to make what I written right.

My first time playing Lessons in Love was December 13, 2020. One week before that, randomly browsing through itch.io, I had picked about five games on a whim, LiL included (I saw a picture of depressed Rin, which piqued my interest.) For the following one and a half years, I kept downloading the public builds released on Itch every month. At that time, I didn't know this site existed. Shortly before joining here, LiL was removed/blocked from Itch temporarily (due to some ethics org's complaints or something.) Wanting to know what happened, I stumbled upon this thread, registered, and was exposed to many great games. I'm thankful.

I also didn't read the description and thought it was a standard dating sim (this was another pleasant surprise, as I've always enjoyed denpa.)

"I written" instead of "I wrote", albeit I had intended to write "I've written", at the time.
