Just so. The devs clearly built the game around Jaye, to the point that even if the MC rejects her he's still allegedly in love with her - just too scared or too dense to act on it. Mallory was only included because they knew the game needed more than one LI, partially to give a token choice for playability, but mostly so they could tease the possibility of somehow getting both girls.
To their credit, Mallory is a good character in her own right. They could have, and IMHO should have, let her stand on her own and left Amanda as another side-girl. Instead they made Amanda a crucial part of Mallory's romance in a misguided effort to justify the eventual threesome.
Not one of their better decisions.

I only started playing this game earlier this year, but after extensive reading in this thread and some other places I came to the conclusion that Tara was only a one-time thing in the past and Lisa is only a fling in the present time.Sorry , I play for Jaye and Mal but I am sure that in early pages ppl are making competition between Jaye and Tara and who is the best , and Mc have sex scene with her , So I think she can be LI , NO ?? and why Not ?
But NO Lisa That is unfair
You can't choose Tara or Lisa as real LIs in the game, but only Jaye and Mal. In fact, I'm not even sure there's a chance we will see another sex scene with Tara in the future or if that flashback super early in the game was the only thing we'll ever get to see with her in this game. Have the devs explicitly commented on this?
Anyway, Tara is almost forgotten in the story despite the very important role she played in the past and the fact that she's still Jaye's best friend.
Jaye is my favourite, so I'm good in that regard, but Tara is my second favourite girl and I believe her role in the story is disappointing and a wasted opportunity. It would have made much more sense than Amanda's involvement on Mal's path, in my opinion.
I won't even touch on Tara and Lisa's being LIs in the next game; that's... indescribable.
All of the women in this game are attractive. It is unlikely and difficult for a dev to put unattractive characters in games. Much like a movie or TV show, you rarely see an unattractive person unless they have something specific to offer. It is funny reading all the comments about how horrible it is that <my favorite LI> was screwed over by the devs in this story. I keep waiting for a legitimate critique of the story and its characters that doesn't involve ridiculous bias.
The story is about the MC and Jaye. Everyone else is secondary to the story. If the story were about how the best friend and MC should've been together, Tara would have a bigger role. If the story were about how the MC fell in love with the CEO of his parents' company, then Lisa would be the focus. But this is "the story of step-siblings reconnecting and dealing with the fallout of their parents' unexpected deaths." Not the story of how step-siblings deal with the fallout of their parents' unexpected deaths and meet an intrepid reporter and she changes their lives!
Yes, Mallory is secondary in the story. She is a love interest but not the focus of the story. She plays a major role in the telling of a story about two siblings coming to grips with their parents' death and how they are thrust into running a major corporation together. Despite Mallory being secondary, a good amount of the story concentrates on the feelings growing between the MC and Mallory and how she fits into the corporation run by the MC's parents. But that isn't the story. This is a love story about Jaye and the MC.
Now, there is something off about the Mallory/Amanda/MC relationship. It does feel a bit forced. Although, Amanda's personality and life experience play well into the awkwardness. It doesn't quite explain everything and many players are left with the feeling that something is not quite right. I do not believe that is because Mallory is secondary in the story or that the devs did not focus more on her character development.
I would love to see some honest critiques of why the secondary characters should be the primary story. Something other than, "She's my favorite."

So , what you mean is that "the primary Main girl in a game should be the one and Only Li " , Right ?All of the women in this game are attractive.

It would be nice if this was the kind of game where any of the LIs would be a valid choice to end up with but the structure of the story just doesn't support it. It is pretty much a "chicken or steak" kind of decision, although I do think that if you screw up both the chicken and the steak you will end up with one of the other girls being the fish dish. My money's on the British gal pal who stole MCs dick, but your mileage may vary. It would be nice if you could be with the sushi chef or peanut, but there just isn't enough meat on the bones of the story. Tara has a history with him, but not a future, and he would just be cruising for a bruising with the mother/daughter duo.

But Tara's role in the relationship between Jaye and mc is much more important than Amanda's role, and this despite the fact that Tara was at one point banned from the story and confined to mobile phone messages. It was a choice like that to force Amanda's presence in the group (as had also been done for Mallory before) . I don't think it is among the priorities of a company under attack to test unapproved treatments on a stranger.
I don't see any need why the story had to go in this direction, it was just a choice.
While I like Tara's character (despite the ridiculous hair) more than Amanda's, Amanda's role in the story seems more important to me. Tara added flavor to the Jaye/MC story. Amanda's role deepens and broadens the story with Mallory and the aspect of the story about the corporation.
I have to completely agree that a major pharmaceutical company would never test an unapproved treatment on a human patient. It is one part of the story that fails the reality test. But dammit, the women are just so hot that I am willing to overlook it!
Well, if you mean that Jaye should be the one and only, of course! Look at her!
Nah, I love that the devs gave us the choice. Some people might be completely against Jaye as an LI considering their relationship. Mallory is hot. She is. But Jaye...Jaye is one of the hottest women I have ever seen in a VN. On the other hand, I realy appreciate the love that grows between Mallory and the MC. It is endearing. While the love between Jaye and the MC is deep and overwhelmingly honest. The kind of love I would kill for.
But choices are wonderful! Especially when we get two world-class women to choose from!

If you increase a character's 'on-stage' time, it is normal that his or her importance increases, the same happened with Lisa, captain Tanaka and Bianca. But Amanda didn't answer any questions that we had outstanding.While I like Tara's character (despite the ridiculous hair) more than Amanda's, Amanda's role in the story seems more important to me.

Suddenly Mallory brings aboard this childhood friend of hers with a very serious genetic disease and 'morally blackmailing' them into taking care of her.
The only addition to Mallory's character was a supposed bisexuality....
Gotta love Jaye's fire! Those redheads!OMG , That's the spirit
