It's your fault for not saving regularly when renpy VNs sometimes have game breaking bugs that don't always let you rollback from. That's like not saving regularly in Skyrim, it's 100% your fault. Swallow your pride and take this for what it is, a learning experience.

Seems we're not gonna agree with this so this will be my last response on the matter since there's no point continuing further. No, it is not in any way the player's fault for the game presenting bugs or the dev making a conscious decision about something. That's all on the game. The player can do their best to circumvent these issues but at the end of the day, it's still nobody's but the game's fault for anything that happens due to certain game mechanics or bugs.
And if your game is so buggy at its current state that it creates issues that can result in massive loss of progress, then have autosaving (like it seems this dev has done to a certain extent). Don't expect the player to do your job for you manually.
Well, I decided to give this game a look after hearing about it as a clone of LiL, and after playing through the current version, I can say:
1) it's not bad - better than a lot of games on this site and better than I expected, and it has potential, but
2) if you claim that it is not a fairly obvious ripoff of LiL, all I can say is, "Bruh". Yes, you can point to any one item where this game and LiL are alike, and hand-wave it away ("lots of VNs have a role-playing game in them" or "there's a pool of free music that a lot of developers pull from") - that's not the point. It's the whole list taken together (D&D, school setting, horror elements, shy stuttering girl whose mom owns a bar (which looks exactly like Sara's bar), the music, the dorm visits, the big events (i.e., Christmas parties), the pet names with responses to specific ones, etc...) that makes it pretty clear. Just because you've changed the hair colors around doesn't mean that Selebus doesn't have a point. Personally, I don't care - it's not my game you are copying. But your defense of it as not a copy is just silly. It's like writing a folk song about an iron ore ship on the Great Lakes that gets sunk in a storm and then claiming it's not a copy of "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" because Gordon Lightfoot didn't invent the D chord and your song is set on Lake Huron.
Just own it. There's obviously an audience of some size for "LiL but with a less-assholish MC and lighter horror elements", so run with it. But it's clearly far beyond just a "partly inspired by" thing.

Meh, i also played this expecting a LIL clone and apart from Yokubo who is basically Sana, calling it a fairly obvious ripoff of LiL seems ridiculous to me, i can tell that there is a lot of work and effort put into this game, not just "copy and paste", and because of that I find the story and characters unique and genuine (even yokubo).
Then so far i encourage mr.developer to keep denying the allegations
I said nothing about copying and pasting (although there is some of that - e.g., the bar background, which may be a standard KK asset for all I know, but if you don't want your game to be seen as an LiL clone, maybe pick a different one). It's that there are so many similarities. The designer may indeed be putting in a lot of work, but that work is producing something that might as well be called "LiL with the MC as a student instead of a teacher".

Seems like the updates are getting bigger and more consistent, still not on the level of LiL but it's a good step forward.
Might wanna give this another chance and pick up from 0.5
I hope the dev can start making some money to dedicate more time to this game which has potential

Wait a game taking notes from LiL? one of the single worst games ive ever played!? boy ive never been turned away from a game like this!
Could you describe the bugs you encountered so I can fix them? Thank you!
As for a save: I don't have a clean save on hand (nor do I know what choices you'd have made), but you can create a save that's caught up in just a few minutes by doing the following:
- Start a new game and select "Linear Mode" when prompted
- Turn on "Skip Unseen Text" in the settings menu (located under the "Gameplay" heading)
- Right click (PC) or hold down (mobile) the "Skip" button at the bottom of the screen and press "yes" when prompted if you want to skip to the next choice
- Make your choice and repeat until you get to the end of the Christmas chain
- There were no choices in v0.7, so you just want to left click (PC) or press (mobile) "Skip" instead until you're fully caught up
- Now you can go back to sandbox mode through the settings menu if you wish to, or stick to linear mode

Played from the beginning in Linear mode and ran into one spot where the sequence of events was clearly not correct.
