Not done anything with Quinn and I still had to sit through extended scenes of her selling drugs or going to pick up drugs or grooming girls.
Not pursuing Bella but I still had to go over to her house and have half of Episode 5 be doing yoga with her and making pancakes.
Funny how only two girls get this complaint thrown at them and everybody else gets a free pass.
Well, for starters, Quinn's plot is important it's the main underlying plot of the game. Everything else, including the LIs, are side-plots as Quinn's story will likely cause ramifications that affect almost everybody.
Secondly, the Bella/Jill sleepover could be seen as strange, however, at this point, even if you've been a bit of an ass to Jill, she still likes the MC, so him staying over will likely be because of her so it does somewhat make sense.
That's because they're the only girls who drama is forced on us even when we're not pursuing them unlike with Sage, Bella & Jill.
Well, the Sage/Chad was somewhat forced on us at the beginning because we all had to go spy on him in locker room for Sage. Afterwards, you could close her off for the time being by not agreeing to the guitar lessons, but we still get into a fight with Chad and see their break-up even if the MC has nothing to do with her. As for Bella and Jill, we're surely going to get sucked into that as well, with Tybalt leveraging Jill and whatever is going on with Bella and the locked door mystery.
The difference with M&J is that we've had quite a bit of so it far, but in terms of "forced" stuff in this episode, it's really just the DnG game (hated it, but it establishes they're trying to be friends who help each other) and the ending, which again is about him being a friend. I'm sure we'll get something similar with Sage, Bella, and Jill with their dramas, where the MC is roped in despite not pursuing them, because these people aren't going to be completely cut out of his life.
the fact that all DIKs (including mole) know she had sex with MC I doubt it will have any consequences.
Well, they didn't have sex, also the DIKs don't know what went on, they just know she spent the night and assume what happened.
the only two who should be strongly uncomfortable with each other are Jill and Josy who are fully aware that they both feel, or have felt something for MC, and instead they are the 2 most serene and get along very well (probably for some need for a plot to be discovered)
If we're talking in terms of women's intuition, then perhaps they have a feeling about each other, but I don't think they know the full extent. Even so, Jill knows that Josy is someone the MC has been seeing yet is still getting friendly with her, so she's either not bothered about that knowledge, or is just putting on a brave face. Either way, it probably is for plot purposes such that, if the MC chooses Jill, Josy (at least) won't be too uspet because she knows that Jill is a nice person and she'll be happy for the MC, and vice-versa should the MC choose Josy (and possibly Maya) over her.
Which brings us full circle right back to where this conversation was dozens of pages ago. Why is MC still friends with Josy and Maya? It's one of the most heinous WTF moments in this game that make absolutely zero sense.
And again I will say this is why the rejection should neve have been in the game. A slight difference in affinity is not enough to make them not want to be with him, especially if he's done everything with them and has max RP with each. Instead,
he should have automatically chosen friendship because surely that's what DIK MC would do. It would mek everything so much cleaner because then at least them being friends, or at least trying to be, would make more sense.
Who is this beauty Josylike?

Ana from AL. She's the ex of that game's MC who he can hate fuck and possibly get back together with at the end if he does so.
