I don't know if I'd say I hate her but she's pretty far down my list.
I think she was definitely presented has the main LI in episode 1, but from episode 4 onwards she's been at best a side character. I care more for John Boy and Elena than I do Maya and Josy because I feel they are more relevant.
If DPC intended for Maya to be the main LI, I have no idea why he would lock her up so early. And even her lewd scenes in episode 2, you have to turn down hotter girls and better scenes to even get them.
If you play this game without the end of episode write ups on the 5 main girls, you wouldn't even think half of them are main girls.
well take Jill for instance, shes a slow burn LI, with this black mail BS that Tibbie is pushing we might get scenes of him openly flaunting how Jill is being nice to him and its going to cause friction I bet, but it will make their relationship stronger if they can push through.
having finished Sage's path today and seeing the new update pic I can more or less guess that they might be trying something and Quinn and Riona are giving them grief, but Quinn oof if she starts having any feelings after that night they had, it could be troublesome as well.
Bella I dunno why shes even part of the Main LI's I stated yesterday that its because shes an older woman thats more approachable than say Jade, since Bellas husband is gone dead, alive living in a sea monkey colony whatever. But that death stare she gives isn't endearing at first but she softens and you can see yourself with her even if its strained.
as far Maya/Josy and their drama, episode seven has to be a catharsis moment for them, or they will be right back where they started and be no better for it. I have my ideas on things that can happen there MC intervenes with Maya's dad they run a scheme to fool him, Maya grows a pair and tells her dad to fuck off finally I mean it could be whatever, but it needs to end the drama or else their path will be constant drama and no one will want to play their path.
