Oh yeah~, I did read about this in a spoiler from an earlier chapter. Huh.
Guess Hanahana's situation doesn't matter, we're starting over.

NG+, here we go... but how many loops have happened already - NG+++..?

Is this the first mentioning of loop?
That depends on the point of view.

Just to refresh your memory: in the first chapter, there’s a person wearing a strange mask who “abducts” Yota, pulling him into the vortex that takes him to that new world where men have gone extinct. Later in the story, it’s revealed that the masked person was actually Lilia (the girl with the small boobs). In other words, Lilia, somehow, and it still hasn’t been explained in the story, managed to teleport to Yota’s world and send him to her own world.

Now, here’s where the discussion about what counts as a “loop” begins. Yota wasn’t teleported to Lilia’s “present” world, or her “current” timeline, but rather to her world’s “past.” And from that point on, he began rewriting Lilia’s world’s history. So, we can say that, for Lilia, the world is already in its first loop. But for Yota, we still can’t tell whether he’s already inside a loop or not.

I'm wondering why anyone takes what one chapter says at face value. Especially given the style and past examples.

Then again, I also question why people read this when they clearly don't enjoy it. And yeah, yeah, whatever excuses like 'need to read this trainwreck' or 'never quit a manga', or other instances of lack of self-autonomy. I guess its the same kind of stupidity.
The hate followers are just people full of hang-ups that can't admit to themselves they really do like the manga, every manga with an "erotic" or "suggestive" tag that last more than 30 chapters are full of those hate followers in the comments, they have to make it very clear their opinions to everybody but never drop the manga. Children, right?

Or, maybe some people have been reading this since day one and don't like the amount of contrived, poorly written stretched out bullshit, lost potential etc? Just a thought. We don't live in a vacuum.

It's called a casual loop / bootstrap paradox.

Lynn Okamoto is a master class on trolling.

We get close to a pivotal point on the story? Nope, enjoy sex chapters for months.
We finally see the light at the end of the tunnel? TOO BAD, that's just a train derailing and coming at you full speed.

...and I am still here. Fuck.

The problem I have here is that should mean were on a single timeline because paradoxics only exist on a single, non-variable timeline, but given that the Moon AI says that there are prior loops, that suggests the world exists in something akin to Multiple Worlds interpretation or a combination of single timeline + I guess I'd call it timeline gravity.

Envision a single time line but events spin off like a train junction in which each event is a track split or maybe it's easier to envision it as a Rock traveling through space being pulled by the gravity of planets except each of those planets is an event. I'll call it variable event timelines

It's this variable event type of time travel I believe is going on here and is why the AI needs to send Lilia back so the AI itself can go back and download her memories into herself in order to gain its optimal outcome. Once it gets the outcome it desires there's no need for her to send Lillia back

i'm soooo tired of this, but it's become one of those stupid series where i've invested too much knowingly despite the obvious flaws from the start, that I just wanna see what the heck the author puts out and have a good laugh or eyeroll almost every chapter, kinda like it was with KanoKari but I actually grew to despise that one cause it got hella boring and annoying unlike this dumb thing that still is entertaingin to me, like, I really like the slime Hanahana, but I totally see WHICH kind of fetish it comes from, and maaan I don't like those, at least here she's funyn and even cute.

i get this feeling of "plot saturation" if you wanna call it that way.
they keep introducing new plot elements that werent part of the story so far, add more questions, and dont solve any answers. im fine with the biggest ones (why can yota go to the future when he is in a coma, how did that girl get to the past, what the hell is even going on with the jealous god kid) and instead of unraveling the answers we just keep getting new questions.
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU EVEN MEAN LOOPS? NO ONE EVEN MENTIONED LOOPS SO FAR NOT EVEN YOTA AND HES THE ONE THAT COMES BACK TO THE FUTURE EVERY TIME HE GETS KILLED
