I found Jaye somewhat irritating at first, though the MC was at least as bad. But they both improved immensely in Chapter 2 once she and the MC were finally able to interact like adults without farcical shenanigans interrupting every 10 seconds. At this point my only complaint is having to play along with all the incest material when I just want to treat her like an actual sister and get on with the story.I disagree, I like how Jaye is characterised. I thought the Tara sex scene was really hot. So many feelings in that scene, Tara is into the MC, MC likes Tara but loves Jaye, Jaye is already fucking her Best friend Tara, but she loves the MC. MC and Jaye can’t risk admitting their feelings because of the taboo, meanwhile Tara accepts that side of both of them and willing to make a personal sacrifice to try and make them both happy. The only scene I think competes is Rikka rubbing one out while MC bangs her mum in the ass.
On a similar note, I hated the Tara sex scene. I don't like clueless protagonists and the MC was in rare form during this one. Plus there's the whole incest by proxy angle, which also fell flat for me. To cap it off, the scene is unskippable; I get why that is since it's plot-bearing, but it didn't do much to endear itself to me.
To each their own, I suppose.
I agree, the game feels a bit like it's gilding the lily at times. I didn't think we needed any additional explanation for why the MC left or why Jaye took his departure so badly. I'd rather focus on how the two handle it now that they're back on the same page.My biggest complaint is similar to the diary one of yours. The game keeps adjusting the story when it doesn’t need to. For example, MC separating from Jaye when he overhears her friends, is a rational decision, justified in the moment, allowing them both to have a more normal life, then we find out actually no the MCs sacrifice is irrelevant and things would have worked out without.
To be fair to the game, he is still a piece of shit who tried to rape her. Christian's backstory does not change that.The other example I didn’t feel was necessary was making the would be rapist have an abusive father, whilst also being asexual. In fact it’s more interesting if he’s a piece of shit who tried to rape Jaye and then you either redeem him or don’t through his actions later on.
That said, I do agree that the additional backstory seems unnecessary; he's a minor character and what we already had worked just fine. If you want to show he's mended his ways, do so by showing how and why he's changed. Don't do it by retroactively amending his crimes and/or motivation, it becomes a distraction.
