Jess storyline is really detached from the rest of the game and doesn't even have much to offer. Ian barely knows her and the novelty of her being a character from the prequel wears off quickly.
Jess' storyline is detached from everyone else's, excepting possibly Ivy in the future. But it's actually been kind of a fun back burner storyline for Bad Jess. She starts wearing good Jess clothes if Ian treats her like a human rather than objectifying her as a pornstar. It's just a cute little side story. It will be interesting to see if she comes back at all if Ian did take advantage of her at his apartment, but personally I'm quite content with the content (sorry for the heteronym non English speakers) she has received for a redemption arc in this game.
This is getting into wishful thinking / actually adding mostly useless content. But I do wish that Jack had been added a tad earlier so that he could be given a similar back burner story that Jess has received. I think it would have made for a better alternate to Axel, since Axel comes with a lot more dubious consent, which understandably might make some uncomfortable.
Cherrys storyline stalls a bit and she is also a bit isolated from the rest of the cast, but at least there is some beef with Lena and Axel. I was a bit puzzled that she didn't do anything with Axel when they met during Ivys birthday. That could at least give more drama.
Once again you're right. Cherry's content did stall for a bit. But, I think she has one of the more interesting and mature romances, for Ian, outside of Lena's. We don't know for a fact she didn't do anything with Axel; if Ian isn't pursuing her, she very well may have.
ffive is likely on to something that a Cherry sans Ian could show up again in a Lena / Axel route. Which would make for a very interesting development. Especially if Cindy is also starting to get involved. Axel could secretly be the typical male MC from another game
