Josy's great. And Maya, while boring herself, isn't even really that much of a problem. She's a free bonus, you know, like a Happy Meal toy. What isn't so great, is that you can't do the J&M path with DIK affinity. I really hope that there'll be a pure Josy path branching of from the Others path that you can do while being a DIK in the next episodes. DIK choices are (in most cases) just so much more fun.
Having a neutral, Affinity in the first couple of chapter, is perfect fit to the story, and to MC, it's not really worth it to go all in that hard in the first couple of episode, if you aiming for a permanent Dik affinity.
Hell, even at episode 5, Lily will not give free blowjob to a Dik Mc, but she does to a Neutral one, problem is by that point you can't be neutral anymore, or you won't be able to get Dik affinity by the end.
You can't make more than 4 chick choice, in order to get the Dik affinity, and if you dont want to cheat at the mid-terms test, you already have to achieve the Permanent Dik affinity before it, the latest point, is Helping Derek get revenge.
my personal method,. for nearly all of my path, except the Jill one. is. 3 chick choice
Not beating Troy
Not Accepting Quinn offer
Rejecting Jade.
With these when I arrived the to the library to talk with Josy and Maya, I've got 4 Dik / 3 Chick stat, give me a Neutral affinity, but leaning to Dik anyway, because it is 1 decesion more.
and from that point on, All Dik major choices, Helping derek is the last one .
I love to use this method for all my path, I make a save in the library, whether to enter the Josy x Maya relationship or not, that choice in the library is a mini crossroad for the game. opens it up either Josy , or the Others and Sage path . and Sage dont give a fuck about the " break up " so you can play the field with Sage/others until episode 8, and make the final choice there.
And this all lead to a Permanent Dik Affinity MC, who is not forced to cheat at the mid-terms test.
Jill is neutral so she not really matter, the key for her, is the picnic date, and to have neutral Affinity during the moon scene.
I think I had a slightly different method with her, but frankly, my base method would work for her to from the library scene, you just make 2 more chick choice, like go to the Elder home, to help, and ignore the alphas in episode 7.
still think it's stupid to put the majority of the main girls to chick affinity
