Jill was the last character added to the game. She didn't even appear in the first trailer (and no, it wasn't a secret appearance). I think Jill won over the patreon and that's when she made it to the front page.
Looking at the game I could say that Quinn is the main character (she is not even considered LI and yet she has the biggest development in the game and shares all the characteristics of a LI) or M&J, who go through the whole game from scene one.
And yet I think it's choral enough to not have one character over another at the LI level.

In one of the Q&As DPC is asked "who was the first character who started the Being a DIK story". He says he "wants to answer this question, but can’t at this time," and he'd be "willing to answer it when the game is complete." My feeling for a while has been that it's Quinn.

It's a possibility, and DPC says it's the character he most enjoys writing.
His evolution ate the evolution of the other characters, so he could easily be the first one he imagined.
We'll see in about 5 years what he'll say about that... I only ask that he leaves me a good ending with M&J and another one with Sage. :p

Quinn definitely feels like a main LI if you're on her "path"

Im going to put on my dalli hat and say there must be a reason why she's not considered one when she's so prevalent in the story.

I've got $5 on Quinn suffering an AL fate

Correct me if im wrong but I feel as if Jill and Isabella have the least amount of screen time after episode 7 as well as having the smallest impact on the story overall.

If you ignore Jill she's just some rich chick falling on a sword you hardly have to interact with. Compare that to the more elaborate plots with Sage, Josy, and Maya you're forced into that are 100% unavoidable.

Josy? Josy so far feels extremely shoehorned into everything, if you ask me. The only "plot" she really had was being the (non) GF back home of the MC while he was experiencing college. After that, she's pretty much tied to Maya in every single regard, except all the drama and character development is about Maya whiel Josy is like :l almost in every scene. I like Josy... but she's the character I'm the least interested in all of BADIK (or close to that) because she only works as a plot device to Maya drama and barely... barely anything else Her connection with Tommy? I dont think even Tommy *really* cares. I really wished DPC didnt shoehorned her into Maya as a couple and gave her a real purpose... and being a crying shoulder to Jill is not it, btw.

Everyone else's has a plot, I dont need to mention Quinn's, Sage is growing out her cheerleader who only dates douche chads "mean girl" persona out the window, Bella with her husband and her ice queen persona, Jill with her family, Maya with her father... Josy is the only one that is just... there...

See, how long did it take you to write all of that? If my opinions upset you so much why don't you just ignore them?

Well... At the end of the day this is the point of a forum... You came with Something, shazba replied with something else. Is your point of view against the game and shazba showed his point of view trying to defend the game. Or Dalli with his crazy (and sometimes absurd) theories... Me (and other users) tried to demonstrate why and how he is not right... Or maybe he is and the rest of us are wrong... How this topic reaches almost 150k of posts in 2 years? DPC offered us a game which is very professional built and contains a lot of stories, theories, scenes etc so we, the players and users of this forum, can discuss a lot of things about it

I think it all depends on how you look at it bro.

IMO the appeal of Josy is exactly what you've touched on. Excluding what's going on with Maya, she's mentally/physically/emotionally stable, financially competent, chose a good major, is generally at a good spot in her life, and has no ongoing issues.

I said it a few pages back, out of all of the LIs she is the only LI that makes sense as the endgame for MC at this point in the story. That's her appeal as far as im concerned and I support it. The drama-less LI.

I think only Maya has more overall 'screentime' than Jill, who is significantly present in every chapter.

and without sex, which is distracting.

Ah yes, as we all know Dr. Pinkcake and his great marketing strategy such as
*squints*
Banning low tier patrons from discord for discussing new update before their supposed release date
Threatening to launch a barrage of DMCA claim & close a subreddit if he isn't given authority
Banning $75 tier patron for leaking custom render

If anything, this game is popular & a success in spite of the "marketing". Shows how good it really is
Click to expand...
Don't forget that BAD is now the main Job and income of DPC, so if he is doing a good marketting and if he is protective about his patreon only advantages, it's perfectly normal.
If you got a patron who nullifies the advantages of beeing a patron by releasing his stuff to everyone i wont blame DPC for banning him.
DPC is protecting his job and his income as any other company would do, there is nothing shady or disgusting about this, this is real life, it's not a game.
I hope people here realize that most of the stuff you find in this site is "stolen" in a way. Many dev know perfectly well that existing here is a very good way of beeing well known and popular and that it will get them more patrons, so they don't mind.
