Well I'm very much interested in getting to sex with Bella, and I'm even hopeful of a possible Bella/Jill threesome/sharing arrangement, but I do also feel like Bella isn't so much of a LI that the MC will have a future with, but more like a LI that is simply meant to be helped by the MC to overcome her issues and move on from them.It sounds like I'm in the minority in that so far Bella is the only main LI I have no interest in as as a lover. She's gorgeous and sexy, sure, but between her obvious hangups and the fact she's such a hoot as a grumpy surrogate sister, I am more than ready for the MC to be 'just friends' with her.
The MC's attraction to her feels extremely shallow to me. The only meaningful insights they've exchanged was the MC telling her about Zoey, and that does not feel like enough to start a relationship.
It got even worse with Episode 5. I thought Bella's scene in Episode 4 was well done, in part because she was the one who initiated it (once the player picked the option, obviously). But in Episode 5 she was telling the MC they shouldn't be doing this even as he's fondling her. That really felt like a misstep and makes me wonder what is supposed to be going through the MC's mind.
I'd be a lot happier if the MC would deal with Bella's concerns before he presses her for sex. If nothing else, it would give us a chance to get to know her. Sadly, given how hard the game is playing up the mystery around Bella's marriage, I'm not sure that is going to happen anytime soon.![]()
The attraction does feel a bit superficial at this point, and so aside from Bella being drop-dead gorgeous, it's hard to figure out what the MC is doing here. He knows Bella and Jill are friends yet keeps on pressing Bella at the same time he's pursuing Jill, and he seems to have a bolder and cockier confidence with her than he does with everyone else because he's always the one pushing Bella into these sexy moments.
Sometimes it feel like the MC is all over the place when it comes to how he treats each LI; with Jill he's cautious and respectful, with Sage he lets her do a lot of the driving, with Maya he's both cautious and occasionally forceful, with Josy he's seemed tentative and loving, and with Bella he seems like he's putting pressure on her. It's like he's 5 different MC stereotypes all rolled in to one and it makes his character feel a bit inconsistent.
