for Jill I was clearly referring to the sixth chapter. theoretically we could have ended the story with her in the previous chapter, not taking advantage of the opportunities on the couch at Bella's house, and she in the next chapter takes on MC's sins without involving him in the slightest. it doesn't make sense to me, Jill doesn't exclude us from the sexual content (not having any...) but she excludes us from our responsibilities...In my opinion, Jill's path (blackmail aside) makes sense. If the MC shows interest in her, she'll pick up on it and reciprocate; if the MC goes through the motions, she'll eventually assume he just wants to be friends and dial back the interaction.
With Bella, the MC seems to act like there's this smoldering mutual passion between them purely on the grounds that they kissed while he was drunk. Even when he breaks things off, it's on he rationale that the two of them just wouldn't be able to control themselves if they were in the same room for a couple hours. Sorry, not seeing it.
As for being a shortcut, not really. You'll still have to help Sage sort out her problems and spend lots of time with her to get the second opportunity; based on what DPC says about Episode 7 it seems likely there will be some trade-offs in that. Plus, even if you do become her boyfriend without FWB, you'll still have to face the music for any other relationships you have at that point.
Different path, but basically the same destination.
about Bella I don't understand your consideration... I'm referring to the case when their story is interrupted. up to that moment there was only a kiss between them but we can give all the responsibility to the fact that MC was drunk. it remains debatable that the event that divides the two is a failure to thank Bella for having spoken well of him to Jill, which inevitably degenerates into a sexual raptus, but anyway let's say that if at that point MC stops showing interest in Bella, the relationship between the two can be considered over, it's a relationship that really shouldn't be there, it certainly can't be Bella who looks for MC. in this sense that that single decision is final makes sense to me, and I also see it difficult that nothing can happen to put everything back in play.
about Sage: if MC is her fuck buddy he has shared many moments with her, not only sexual, the relationship between them makes sense that it matures, if they are just friends the interactions between them remain minimal, the relationship between them will be by necessity more superficial, I see a jump more difficult and unlikely. Sage, besides getting over the disappointment of the end of the story with Chad, should trust and rely on a "friend". the situation is completely different from the one with Maya and Josy, where even if MC is currently a friend, he's practically an ex of both of them, so getting back into the relationship with one of them (and maybe even both) would be less forced
