Also, everyone acts like Maya's a user and abuser of people but she doesn't ask for help. You offer help. Does she ask for help with her scavenger hunt? No does mc offer it? Maybe depending on relationship. And the whole joining the HOTs in the first place was her trying to handle it herself not using anyone or asking for help. Did Maya help the MC in his time of need? Yes for a night as a favor for Derek the rest of his stay in her dorm was because she wanted to help the MC out.Once again, a twisting of the facts.
What job do you think Maya would get? (unskilled)
Would the job cover all expenses? (food, housing, tuition)
If Josy had not been discovered by Patrick, would a job have been necessary?
Didn't Maya tell the MC that she studied hard for three years to finish college early so she would be free afterwards?
Why did Sage decide to help her? Maya even made it clear to Sage in the library that she wanted nothing to do with her. So why? There are two HOT sisters missing. Mona and Maya. If something like this went public, it would be a huge blow to the HOTs' image. The trigger was the rumor and Quinn, who did not rule out the rumor. She is the vice president of the HOTs and often acts against the interests of her sorority (EP5 Preps Party). Sage herself notes that she should have been more presenter. So once again, Sage has to clean up Quinn's mess so as not to jeopardize the HOT's reputation. Sage turns to Josy and the MC and suspects there is more. Sage persists and eventually wants to help Maya herself. Maya didn't ask her to. But Maya, through this drama, has pushed Sage's development from a party girl to a responsible young woman.
To be honest, I really like this saga. Would this have happened without this drama construct?
They act like she's some cloak and dagger villain and i honestly don't understand it she's a reclusive low-self esteemed girl, That's all. Maybe it's because she's not the common trope. Sage the trashy girl. Bella the Naughty Librarian. Quinn the broken girl. Jill the good girl. Josy the summer crush.
Maya simply doesn't play into a common trope because wall flowers are usually just that in adult visual novels. It all boils down to empathy. If you have it you can understand every decision she makes. If you don't you judge her because you have nothing better to do. Every Decision she makes is deep seated in her. Her getting mc tazed(overly trusting). Her not being happy about Josy's dads reaction. (She would have died and gone to heaven if she had even got a good job from her dad for being valedictorian after being picked on all through high school by kids and then going home to deal with her dad who says he wish's she'd never been born.) Sage, pried into her life by opening up about maybe her boyfriend troubles maybe something more towards how she feels being an orphan not released yet what the conversation entailed. Again she was offered help.
My point is she's not a pity party she takes what is offered to her she doesn't ask for it. People look at her actions without thinking of her as a character with feelings and emotions behind it and I'll tell you one thing that sets Being A Dik apart from most other visual novels. All his characters seem to have been brought to life in my humble opinion. They seem to have a life we are privy to look into. Some may say this is too much for an adult visual novel, but I think it's a plus knowing that this game could probably stand as a standard romance novel with all hentai scenes removed. Again, ill mention and sorry DPK but his first game not even the main character felt real to me. They had no soul. I didn't care about a single character in that game and one of them was dying of cancer. It was poorly done in my humble opinion, but this game and that game are like night and fucking day. He went from making me care about none of them to caring about the side characters. Shout out to Monah Riona and Camila hell even Lilly.
