I liked the twist in the third chapter, while I don't find the scene at the end of the fourth successful, which works really well only if Mc's proposal is accepted, otherwise it seems quite fake.Yeah I agree. I did another playthrough to prepare for the update and checked out all 3 alternatives for Josy&Maya. The scenes which play out after Josy's dad feel pretty different.
The first and weakest imo is MC choosing to stay as friends. The scenes for each girl feels weird and girls flat out call MC as to why is he still showing affection when he chose to stay as friends. It's still decent but compared to the other 2 routes it feels the weakest. I remember not even helping Josy with her dad because of the revelation and giving up on M&J last year. Kind of a bandaid route if you want.
The second route in which they are in a three-way relationship, it is nice and I even would like to have both Josy's and Maya's versions and being forced to choose hurts. Maya's compliment of calling MC a "girl" and Josy's "taking it slow" conversation was very touching and especially Josy's lewd scene after is truly spectacular. I guess this is the best one for J&M fans but I just don't like polygamy or harem like relationships. I also still hate the EP3 bombshell ending and how DPC wrote EP4.
Third and the best route personally feels to me as when MC is rejected by the girls because of the DIK affinity. Already sad and feeling betrayed MC gets rejected by the two girls he cared for separately and it turns out they chose each other on top of that. The scenes after Josy's dad raises the most emotion for me. MC's anger and later on each girl's confession of having doubts and still having feelings for MC were very touching scenes. It gives me to most fulfillment and shows DPC's retconning to fix the weird library scene of EP4. My only and biggest problem with this route it requires DIK affinity and I don't like to play that way so I end up with the first route.. Which is a shame.

If only you said this in the library scene.. I hope DPC gives an option for seperate routes for each girl in EP6.
let's stay in case the proposal is rejected: that Josy asks him for help in dealing with his father is rude, she knows that MC feels something, and for the same reason the scene you showed is a stab in the back (it is absolutely the scene that I angrier)
while in the case of no proposal the whole subsequent part remains a bit fake, but it becomes acceptable believing that MC really cares about the friendship of two girls who have recently met (if he tried to have sex with them it seems very unrealistic ...)
if instead the proposal is accepted everything becomes more linear, the only flaw, as you say, having to choose between who to follow, where from a "roleplay" point of view the possible choice is to follow Maya, giving up an excellent scene with Josy.
