Same here. A busty older bruenette with blue eyes is my weakness. Guess that's one of the reasons why I like Bella the most.
But I can understand why people dislike her, she could potentially be taking away development from characters who's stories are reaching pivotal moments. Like Bella with her date and getting over James. Jill finally willing to get intimate and find her voice against Tybalt. Maya finding the tools to get past her father and discovering her feelings with MC. Josy being... Josy (stealing her from Maya seems to be the only conflict she has at the moment) and Sage finding out who Chad is cheating on her with, on top of her getting over Chad by getting closer to MC. Some might view this as a distraction or a way to fill the game with content because of a choice you made, even though you could argue you have enough with the Main Girls.

Yes, we certainly have a lot of story to get to. Hopefully DPC gives us a nice chunk of plot movement in addition to all of the filler. We will have an extra long wait after ep. 8 so DPC can work on the steam release. I just hope we have a enough good content to hold us over until ep. 9 drops next year.

Surely it has nothing to do with her unattractive face and saggy body. I doubt most people are playing the game for character development, considering how poorly it has been handled for several updates now. The 'sad/tragic childhood' card for one seems to be the default motivator for most of the cast, including the unpleasant ones. Interestingly, some players are eating it up - hook, line and sinker.

points that will be closed in the second season?

I have high hopes for Jill's blackmail, which is the bad lintel on which this second season rests, at least we should leave this story behind.

maybe some of BR's mysteries will be closed (Cathe's cluch, the assault on DIKs mansion, the threatening letters to Chad and Dawe), but for me more no than yes

But I'm sure some new questions will pile up.

Haha! Nah, Sage is still an S tier Girl for me in this game. Bella is just a favorite of mine. This scene happens to be one of my favorites in the game. That and taking care of Sage when she's sick.

According to DPC he's finally able to put what he wants into each episode due to his hardware. So we just might be able to have our cake and eat it too (pun intended) regardless of our affinity to Madam Rose

Subjective, I don't find her to be unattractive in the slightest. The opposite actually. As for her "saggy body" did we play the same game?

You kind of just contradicted yourself there. People aren't playing this game for the character development yet they're eating it up? I personally enjoy both, the satisfaction of the sexual content with the main girls are in large part thanks to the development of their story. We even see this with side girls like Riona, Quinn, and even Lily in the latest episode. Of course there are girls that are just there so the MC can get his (and our) rocks off.

I am so close to finishing my 'Quinn' playthrough so far and I have unlocked so much content I never knew existed...it was like a whole new game!! DPC is awesome! I've had to make some difficult decisions on this Quinn journey that made me feel uncomfortable, but once you penetrate the cold, hard exterior of her body armour, you start to see the human being within...a girl with a thousand hiding places, creating personas of strength and independence and fortitude. Quinn has had to survive bad places, full of bad people, that couldn't be trusted...an upbringing immersed in darkness. But when you pass out on her bed at the end of Chpt. 7 you start to see a girl who wants and needs to be loved...a 'Quinn' you would never imagine existed.
I love this game!

Exactly, it's subjective. You, yourself admitted that it's a personal preference in the first place. And if by your perception most people don't like her, what does that tell you ?

The thing I had in mind, which I probably didn't convey very well, is that players are not discerning whether the character development is actually good or not. Hence they're not playing it in hopes of believable and mature development. They're simply satisfied with the superficial drama DPC throws at us as a break between the sex-scenes, which are the main attraction for a lot of players.
While AL was no masterpiece, it's still good when it comes to plot and character development.

It tells me that most people don't like her, that's it. Which is something I already agreed with in my original post. Anything else without sufficient evidence like examples would simply be projecting. Sorta like I did in my original post only I've read people share sentiment about MR taking away from development time in other areas of the game. I personally haven't seen people mention her having an ugly face or saggy body. But even if that were the case, that doesn't make it the definitive reason like you're implying.

I would agree that the plot and character development isn't exactly peak fiction. You could even argue that it's poorly done. That has nothing to do with people's enjoyment or excitement of said development. People can enjoy objectively shitty pieces of fiction. Bad development or not, people are excited for the plot/character development. The reasons why are irrelevant.
