Its not the first time Jill has failed to consider another viewpoint. The Chad incident is another plot point for her. Like I said earlier, her defining character trait is that she believes whatever action she takes with her relationship w/Fuckface is the right one. Or at least comes from right place. Her solution to a friend being bullied is to tell someone and get help because that's what she would want done for her.
Is she flawed? Yes. What's the saying...."the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
DPC has established that she has an imperfect view of relationships through small reveals, such as the date with Rusty, the short backstory with her parents (her closest relationship is with her sister), the first date (she's not particularly close with her extended family and I suspect she's not altogther THAT close with her parents.
I've never been bothered by Jill reporting the Chad incident. All she knew at the time was that the jocks had repeatedly assaulted the MC and he refused to report it OR tell her why he wouldn't. She knew that she might be doing the wrong thing by going over her head (that's why she tried so hard to convince him to do something first), but she couldn't take the risk of ignoring the problem if it turned out that the MC was wrong and he really did need the help.
People talk about how Jill was being naive in that instance because DPC frames it that way, but I think her logic is spot on. And I'll note that 5 episodes later the decision has still been nothing but good for the MC.
Chalk this one up to video game logic. DPC clearly isn't making some kind of Harem game so there has to definitive choices, even if their real world logic doesnt hold up
Sure, but in this case the video game logic doesn't hold up either. It's not a dilemma if only one option has negative consequences.
What happened was she surprise visited MC for a picnic, MC told he has promised to go to Sage, Jill was a bit disappointed but understood.... Nothing to blame her for so far right? I don't see any actions that are so bad....
The problem is that people try to explain all this as being Jill's character flaw.... While it really is just the same as in real life that one day you overslept a car drove into your workplace and you would have died if you were there...
Falling in love is not the same as somebody's actions, actions may be defined by falling in love but that's pretty much it.
Jill's path just has alot no-go's while Sage's path is the most tolerant path of all.... Their paths in a way represent their characters, one is more timid and uncertain while the other clearly knows what she wants and how to get it....
Who would consider somebody not falling in love with you, as a character flaw?
If Jill had been lukewarm on the MC prior to her impromptu picnic I'd agree with you. But we all saw that Jill was anything but. She was extremely interested in the MC... until he picked tending to Sage over going on a picnic with her. At that point Jill's interest completely died out.
That's what pushes this incident over the cliff for me. I get why Jill's path requires the MC go on that picnic with her, but I don't understand why she never tries to set up another picnic when the MC has free time. Even if we completely buy in to the Tybalt blackmail nonsense and think she's unwilling to risk his well being a second time, once he sneaks into her room at night and makes it clear he isn't going to drop the matter she should have tried to pick up where they left off.
Instead, she sends him away and the path remains closed. To me, that makes it clear that this isn't just a case of Jill missing out on the key ingredients to continue the romance, but rather a case of Jill outright rejecting the MC, purely because he wouldn't back out of helping a sick friend.
