It's hard to say when I jumped on the Sage train, it happened gradually. I've been with the game since the very beginning, back in the pre-Covid era, when I knew nothing about F95. After nothing worked out with M/J because of DIK affinity, I became more and more interested in Sage and she began to win my attention back in Ep.4, first with her wildness and audacity, but in the second season she grew a lot as a person and finally secured herself as the best girl by Ep. 6-7.
But back then, I looked at the game differently, having only one fucked up save file with a leaked Jade video. It's since 2022 that I've been exploring the game so deeply, Sometimes I even forget that this is a damn porn game.
And then I wasn't interested in Bella as LI at all, now she's great to me and second on the MGs list
