Considering what a terrible person Thiary was, Idolsha wasn't that bad.
Too bad Yubin and the superhumans didn't succeed...

And Rinze is actually Yubin's granddaughter. You can tell. It's noticeable in all of his descendants, really. Each of them is somewhat detached from reality.

But she didn't even play as the Academy, so what's the point of explaining and telling her?

Even now, those who played it still feel embarrassed about having to "kiss the boot."

As for the boot, only Aretz and Sivy write about it. The main problems with it stem from various crazy ideas, such as "penalties for ugliness," combined with certain elements from the Darkside campaign and the plot armor. Nowadays, it's more often remembered as a meme, like Tartarus or the Thanarian ships.

Let me explain everything in detail for someone who hasn't played the game.

So, here's why the average, unremarkable player of the next installment has developed a dislike for Rimze:
1. A story circulating, supposedly found scrawled on a bathroom wall, about how a Larian-sponsored agent, disguised as a student, attempted to discredit Her Majesty while she was still attending the same school. He lured her to a deserted rooftop, tried to assault her, and demanded sexual intercourse. When she refused and desperately, but playfully, wished to jump off the roof, simultaneously trying to escape the creepy incel and return to the safety of the school, he jumped, believing that this would either accomplish his mission to tarnish Her Future Majesty's reputation or, at least, draw attention to himself. However, he simply died, and his parents didn't even receive a bag of onions as compensation. What a monster!
2. Minor changes in the teaching staff: the homeroom teacher and history teacher, previously the perpetually stoned son of the prosecutor, was replaced with a competent individual who actually made students learn, leaving no time for sniffing glue in the stairwells. Those who came to simply sit through classes for the sake of their parents' money and taxpayers' funds, and obtain a certificate to hang on the wall for their mothers, protested the loudest. Unthinkable!
3. Minor changes in school rules, already partially mentioned: a deduction in scholarship for a face covered in pustules, which was addressed by simply taking care of one's skin (and a bonus to the scholarship for fulfilling this simple requirement, which is conveniently ignored by the "white ribbon" supporters in this context), and a weak attempt to standardize the school uniform, requiring girls to wear only skirts. Fascism! Where is my freedom of expression!
4. They were asked to kiss Her Majesty's boots to receive a New Year's gift. Ugh, you suck! Holy Tiranny, come and restore order! By the way, most of the gifts were things they wouldn't even dream of in this life. And everyone took the gift, even the most proud revolutionaries, later comforting themselves with the thought that they would have been shot otherwise.
5. The already mentioned Darkirian company. Most of them joined the military academy to hang out, sniff glue, and get a certificate for their mothers, but when they realized that they were being taught to run with a machine gun not just for their graduation album, they became disillusioned. Some of them played the role of a fifth column, discussing and criticizing the decisions of the command – during Tiranny's time, he would have immediately listened to them and made them a general, but now they had to freeze their butts off on guard duty; and others expressed post-traumatic hatred for the fact that in those years, our temporary geopolitical ally became the sanctions-crushed Ikigai, although the only classmate from there was perhaps the most pleasant person in the class. And the rushed, to avoid boring players with endless battles, ending of the war, which resulted in quite predictable scripted losses, was also typically maliciously added to the already extensive list of Her Majesty's crimes against humanity, along with the pants, scholarship, and boots.

In general, you can expect to see these "experts" on television soon, holding a portrait of Tiranny and giving speeches about how to bring everything back, and that we don't need this depravity with songs and dances in short skirts.

Wow, you really went off.

which was solved by simply taking care of the skin (and a BONUS to the achievement for completing this simple requirement).

No.

Can you quote the entire post and write "No"?

Hater's response. In what sense is "no" the answer when "yes" is expected?

Well, think about the situation.
Just basic self-care doesn't give you anything.
Basic self-care using paid cosmetics from a specific company slightly reduces penalties to your stipend and self-esteem.
But if you engage in self-care that is not basic, but rather quite diligent, so diligent that it directly interferes with your studies, taking up too much time for it, it reduces the penalties to zero, but there is no talk of any bonuses.
All this is for the default appearance, of course, but if it is true for one case, then your thesis is obviously incorrect. Therefore, simply:

No.

All of this applies to the default appearance.

Revan mentioned that characters could receive disfigurements in war, which would negatively affect their appearance. Also, you forgot to add that, according to the role-playing aspect, "ugly" characters were given more work, while "beautiful" characters had more time to waste.

Well, to be fair, when the war started, it didn't really matter anymore, as the school process was over, and money didn't matter either; what shops could even be open during combat?
That's why my character wanted to fight more than most others.

In terms of gameplay, it wasn't groundbreaking, but the epilogue introduced a rule regarding appearance that, from a certain point onward, applied to all inhabitants of the empire.

Maybe you should reread that post, Officer. It outlined a scale of appearance ratings, from negative, which results in a penalty, to positive, which results in a reward, and even our classmates received these bonuses.
If you've decided not to criticize the system itself, as Ples did, but instead to nitpick the specific way I linked those few words into a sentence, using the most trivial example possible, then I won't even address that point by point.
Instead, I'll say that you are wrong because you are discriminating against attractive characters. In other words, increasing intelligence and receiving fantastic bonuses to learning and, consequently, abilities, without any effort from the player, is normal and fair, compared to those who didn't increase it and are stuck with zero points, or being a tournament brute with high strength, doing well in physical education, and getting rewards for it; but when a couple of autistic characters, who sacrificed other stats to increase completely useless attractiveness for role-playing purposes, or spent money on it in the form of clothing, suddenly have that bonus removed towards the end of the game, then it's lookism, and who did you leave us with, Grandfather Theria?
