Josy has also received her fair share of dislike from people saying she led the MC on by having a date with him, having sex with him, and not correcting him when he kept saying she had a boyfriend. But we see Maya a lot more and we do a lot more with her, which is why she gets the brunt of the hate. If you swapped the 2 around, Josy would get all the hate because she would have been the one doing all those things because it's more about how much we did with the character than the character themselves.Why do you quote me on this one and not on the one that I respond to you about this topic .
If it was what you say Josy would have gotten as much dislike as Maya. She didn't. I grant that Maya and Josy have different personalities and as such Josy handled the situation much better, but that's why I say that Maya was unintentionally toxic. Not that I don't understand where she's comming from, but she made things worse than they should have been.
Again, had Maya been straight or her girlfriend was someone we didn't know, nobody would care about anything she did if the MC had been able to win her over in the next episode. It's largely been because she's tied to another LI in a relationship and that the MC can be rejected that it's ever been a problem and people who feel that often use the excuse of, "she did bad stuff", when they know they wouldn't give a crap if this was like any other VN where the MC can take a LI from their current partner.
There are meek, submissive LIs in lots of other games and there are also LIs who are dishonest, currently in relationships, gay, etc. Everything that Maya is exists to varying degrees in other games, but people generally don't give a shit because they know that the MC will always win, that he will always get the girl(s). Here, there's the possibility that he can't, that the relationship these 2 girls are in is stronger than established relationships in other games, and that someone who was their favourite LI is now unobtainable.I don't why you keep assuming that the reason people don't like Maya is only because she is with another LI. I don't like Maya because her meek, submissive personality is not attractive to me and that we have no choice but to be dragged into her drama.
You might be unable to see this because she's obviously your favorite but you keep ignoring all the stuff felicemastronzo and others have been saying and keep repeating the same thing and ignoring everything else people are saying.
Some people might not like the kinds of things that Maya has done on a moral basis, but most people's frustration, particularly those that liked her and/or Josy prior to Ep 4, has stemmed more from the fact that it ties 2 LIs together when they only want one and the MC is not presented at that time as the centre of their universe, as is so often the case in other games.
