Well there was one, but I think he can't post here anymore?
Technically..... we should get one because he's been posting previews on Mondays for a while now.
I agree in many points. Love how you describes the LI, their flaws too.I know that most probably wasn't your intention, but I guess you woke the few of them with that post
(even if I suppose they won't say anything)
Jill is kind and caring, but living in perfect bubble built by the people around her, who could turn rebellious if she wants to follow her sister's footsteps. Her perfect ideals decides for her, very naive, too naive. And jealous.
Maya is the traumatized children, imprisoned inside herself because of her crazy father, who's scared to be hurt but hurt others in return, yearns to be free. Pushed herself in the arms of a girl cause she's scared of men.
Josy is the carefree one riddled with undecisiveness and anxiety because she don't want to hurt anybody, hurting herself in the process. Loves the MC, but 'stays in the background', let people decide for her.
Sage, radiant queen, bubbly personality, doesn't know how to deal with her emotions, results in impulsive/explosive reactions. Oblivious to way too much things around her... but she's the only one Quinn is scared of, so there's that.
Bella... tortured soul, mysterious type, bombshell, older woman, strong morals, but mentally unstable for seemingly obvious reasons (married, cheating) and some hidden ones. Major red flags to me, but her mystery, damn...
The mystery of Bella, I understand how nobody dislikes her, everyone wants to try to solve it. And she's pretty much Neutral, so it helps. And the bubbly, easygoing Sage, seriously, how can anyone dislike her, beside the fact she has to fucking wake up about the HOTs. She's a DIK choice, but I could get a date with her as a Massive Chick, so yeah.
Maya/Josy, as long as they'll stay in this forced throuple, they'll get dislikes. When choices will be made available (solo paths, and a real throuple choice), things will change, especially for Maya, I hope, only reason she's disliked to me is because Josy is stuck with her, and vice versa. Also, while Josy really is carefree, Neutral DIK to Chick, Maya really is a Chick, doesn't help.
Jill ? I don't get the hate. But I can understand why people would dislike the trope. Very niche. Haters are vocal, fans stay quiet because they're mocked, so yeah, but there are many. Only pure chick playthrough, capricious, doesn't help.
DPC knows about the opinions on the girls, of course, Maya being the least liked (which isn't good), Jill the most polarizing (which is good), I'm sure changes are incoming.
(got a bit overboard with my comment, but was inspired this morning, so yeah)
Really liked Maya too, up until that 'Josy is my girlfriend' scene... I don't dislike her because of her relationship, but because I'm not into that type of thing, and I just see Maya stagnate as a character, and Josy more happy with the MC than with Maya.
From what i've seen around here it seems to be mainly about the fact she dares to shoot the MC down for what people perceive as "being nice" (staying with sick Sage). And she does it in public to boot. But this is a warped perception of what's really the reason for turning the MC down, even though Jill plainly states it herself. As well as completely overlooks it's the MC who forces the public confrontation in the first place.
As a Bella simp I'd welcome Bella hate, it's a game ffs, talking shit is fun, especially when the waiting times between episodes are so long. But alas, so far, I guess only Jill and Maya have been deserving of 10 straight pages of shitposting in this thread
Bella being a more mature character (as a person as well) is one of the reasons. She doesn't drag you into pointless drama and although there are still some warnings on her path, she's still relatively drama-free. Also, ever since the beginning of the game, she always has helped the MC, no matter if she gained something by it, so that's certainly something to be admired.
I never got that scene and I have flirted with her sometimes while being in Dik Aff
..
Sometimes when Bella looks at me, I feel like she wants to eat my liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.As a Bella simp I'd welcome Bella hate, it's a game ffs, talking shit is fun, especially when the waiting times between episodes are so long.

Honestly i think most Jill bashing isn't due to her flaws u listed, althought they are also part of it.I know that most probably wasn't your intention, but I guess you woke the few of them with that post

Well, hate might be a strong word, but I very actively dislike the goblin, and not just because of her goblinoid features.
And that covers a good part of it.
If we had the option to tell Jill to stay out of the Tybalt situation (and even the Chad situation), I would. Her getting involved without being asked was really annoying and presented her in a bad light.
I believe you have to be a massive DikI never got that scene and I have flirted with her sometimes while being in Dik Aff
I guess you pissed her off too many times
This is a very good feature. I love long posts, and I have a similar one with descriptions of all LIs, where I described them in detail from the positive and negative sides. The post got lost somewhere in the depths of the thread.I know that most probably wasn't your intention, but I guess you woke the few of them with that post

In my opinion, Maya does not deserve so much negativity. No one would want to be in her situation. This is a path to potential suicide if things go wrong.As a Bella simp I'd welcome Bella hate, it's a game ffs, talking shit is fun, especially when the waiting times between episodes are so long.

That's some snowflake MC histrionics. Nothing Jill does make things actually worse for the MC. Quite the opposite in fact.
Yeah, like an impossible fling with Bella, her being his teacher doesn't help at all either. She's very conflicted and feels young again, but an 18 years gap is something else at that age... my ex is 15 years older than I am, but at the time, I was 34 when I began my relationship with her, and she had a daughter 2 years younger than I was. Was kinda strange, and relationship ended after a year, but it never was because of our age gap. Still, I was 34, not 19, a world of differences.
Being a basic DIK seems enough for it:
menu:
"Tell a joke" if True:
if dtype < 1:
mc "What did the librarian say to the student?"
scene d1_isa2 with dissolve
isa "Shhh!"
scene d1_isa1 with dissolve
mc "Oh, so you've heard that one already?"
isa "..."
mc "Sorry..."
mc "I'm really here to apply for a library card."
elif True:
$ RPisabella -= 1
mc "Hey Isabella! Are you a book? Because I would like to check you out."
scene d1_isa3 with dissolve
$ renpy.pause()
jump d1_thrown_out
"Ask about library card" if True:
mc "I would like to apply for a library card."dtype 0 means neutral, so the less questionable joke should fire for neutral or CHICK protagonist.
