Studying at the library is 4 points. |
Library is 2 points, 1000 Yen donation is a 75% chance of 2 points, Staying Awake in class is 2 points, studying at night is 2 points (only one if you get sick/tired), studying during a holiday or Sunday is 4 points (two if you get sick or tired), Prodigy Platter is 3 points, any movies you see that increase your Academics (only during the summer film festival, I believe) is 4 points. _________________ Can your science explain why it rains?

I'm now a charismatic badass genius. It feels good.
I've maxed out Hermit, Hanged Man, Justice, Tower and Hierophant S. Links. Hermit was sorta sad, Hanged Man was sweet, the rest were sorta meh. I'm in Tartarus the night before the September full moon, and I gotta say, I've never been so glad for holidays to end, they just kept going and going but I managed to get through them without and of my relationships reversing. I've started using spears on my main character, which are pretty cool, though I think I'll swap back to short swords later on. |

The only benefit of the Library is that you will never get tired and you can combine it with studying at night to get 4 points. Personally, I'd go for the shrine.
I defeated the Natural Dancer today. Earlier on, I had read about it being a major pain, so I took steps to beat it. It went fine at first, but it used Sexy Dance and resulted in me resetting my PS2. In the end, I soloed it with Minato and Clotho, because Clotho gives immunity to wind attacks. I came close to dying once when it attacked me twice in a row instead of using its wind spells, but I emerged the victor.
My current Social Links are Magician lvl 6, Chariot lvl 5, Hanged Man lvl 5, Temperance lvl 4, Hierophant lvl 7, Hermit lvl 5, Sun lvl 3, Moon lvl 5, Star lvl 2, Justice lvl 3, Fortune lvl 4, Fool lvl 5, Death lvl 5 and Strength lvl 4. Boy, I both like and hate the Sun Social Link because Akinari is horribly depressing, yet his story is very touching. I also happened to read the spoiler about him, which makes it even sadder.
I'm in September right now and both my Courage and Charm are maxed out due to spending too much time at the karaoke and the cafe. I'd say I'm getting around fine although I may be too overleveled. Oh well, I won't be overleveled when I enter the 4th block, so that's fine. _________________

Well, the shrine doesn't take any time, so you could do both.
Ideally, your day should be structured like this:
After School/Daytime: Donate 1000 to the shrine, work on an SLink.
Evening: build Courage Sun-Thu, Charm Friday-Saturday until Courage is maxed, then work on Charm.
Late Night: Study.
Before you max all stats (which, doing this, will probably be around August) you can just save Tartarus for the day before the full moon (Never get tired) or, if you're in need of cash, on Saturdays.

Haha, yeah. That dude sucked. I beat it by...well, not cheating, but "abusing the system." I kept save/resetting until I made a Narcissus that "Had an Item in its Heart." Then, when I had one with an item, I registered it right before it gave it up and just got four of them. The Narcissus Flower, which is what you get, blocks Charm attacks. So I just went in with my usual party (Main, Mitsuru, Akihiko, Junpei [with wind resist equipment]) and laid waste. _________________ Can your science explain why it rains?

A good idea would be to do charm/courage Sun - Thu, then on Friday, grind in Tartarus until you get tired, then Saturday, drink at the nurse's office, then sleep earlier and repeat. That way you can get your courage to go up on Saturday too. _________________

I finished Courage on June 11th. Once Charm is done, Academics will be cake-- shrine offering, Library and studying all in the same day. |

You can do that even without Charm being maxed, and still work on Charm in the Evenings.
I mean, you shouldn't, because you should use the day for SLinks, but you can. _________________ Can your science explain why it rains?

I know. You mentioned the exact reason why I'm not.
Evenings will be reserved for building Tower.

But...you say you're going to do it when you max Charm.
You can't go to the Library in the evening. _________________ Can your science explain why it rains?

If you plan on replaying the game with new game +, your academics, courage, and charm carry over. I would say play how you want to unless you want to be a completionist about it or want to start certain S-links early. For comparison sake, I think I had courage maxed out at that point and was at like 4 for charm and 3 for academics. _________________ I can run faster scared than you can mad. |

The school semester really does start for me tomorrow. *sigh*
Let's see. The date is 7/31 and I have a track meet coming up. I honestly feel like going for a run right now because I have to get back in shape. Nothing like a video game that monopolizes my time and also encourages me to work out in the same stride. By the way, Yuko kicks too much ass. I don't care if she isn't the lead female love interest. She is one of my favorite characters in the game. Scratch that. The series.
As for Tartarus, I made it to the third tier and am just chilling out for the moment. I'll return to level up the night before the next full moon. _________________
