But what is there on the CHICK path that's not there on the DIK path? I think all character development is there in both.
It's the caginess mostly, the desire to be open with the MC but the fear to ever say too much. There is no one thing, it's just that all the interactions with Maya (less so Josy who didn't need to be the other girl but it sure added more drama didn't it?) are a little too familiar.
for me MC represents the good Sammaritan, his role is to bring help.
And that runs up against the issue I was talking to Bacchus about, namely, what is it about this kid that makes anyone think he could do anything to help in most of these situations. The best he can do is encourage some of them to keep their distance and others to go to the police and try to strike a deal.
I've thought this myself. I kind of see the love interests as pairs, Maya-Josy, Bella-Jill, Sage-Quinn but found it odd that Quinn was never a main love interest. I can't see Quinn being up graded to a main girl either sadly, but it's fun to speculate.
I'm with you on Jamie, i can't quite put my finger on it but something seems off with him to me. And Arieth .... that would be funny if she's a secret genius just hiding it behind being the dumb slut act. (Doubtful, but funny) I can't see her being in on anything other than getting her next dick fix.
Sending an envelope with pictures of herself being fucked by 5 different guys to Dawe sounds like something Arieth would do. Although I don't think she wanted to blackmail them, it was probably a party invite but she forgot to write the text
I think you're mistaken in including Quinn as an LI; if she were one don't you think she'd be included in the end of chapter summaries? It's my belief that the seven possible Affinity positions relate to seven possible good relationship outcomes: Young, free and single - Sage - Josy - Josy+Maya - Bella - Jill - Maya.I've thought this myself.

Quinn's actions could potentially affect the entire college so actually Bella and Jill might be affected, Bella because she could lose her job and Jill because it's her family's name on the wall.
I think its highly likely based on what we've seen that there's real antagonist to be revealed.
from a realistic point of view you would be right, but the protagonist of every story should make the difference, be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Still weak connections, in comparison with 2 girls who can be directly involved in those activities and another one who could be blamed for cooperate with it or a negligent supervision. A teacher can find another job easily if her name is not directly involved in the incident. Although Jill's family falling appart due to the scandal could be a bit more serious issue, but it's still a far-fetched way as long as they are not, again, directly involved or benefited from those activities. So we still need to see more hints to calibrate the real impact of this possible scandal.
I wasn't meaning to include Quinn in the bulk of LI's, i probably should have written that better. It just seemed odd to me that Sage seemed to stand alone but Quinn was also there in the game and is a character Sage even tries to push you towards. Of course it could also be my OCD with numbers .... i hate odds ... always evens please! lol
Weak? Maybe but I wasn't looking for strong connections, merely looking to debunk your assertion that Bella and Jill weren't affected by Quinn's actions. A scandel of this nature on a college of this size (what's the highest dorm room number shown? The highest I remember is in the 70s during the second free roam)
