Sorry dude, I don't have the solution for your problem, but hilariously, that was more or less how it went down in the anime too. Well, unless much much later when anime-Makoto raises all the bad end flags. I think Kotonoha is supposed to appeal to people who like demure, reserved girls whereas Sekai is for people who like outgoing, upbeat, and assertive girls. Traditional eastern cultures prefer the former.
Well in Shiny days Sekai barely does anything while Kotonoha gets a ton of screentime and 2 whole endings which are probably better than her School days ones so unfortunate for you I guess.
I interpreted the story differently. Makoto's attraction to Kotonoha was always mainly physical: when you're staring at someone across the train, you're not thinking about romance, you're thinking about her big tits and how much you'd like to fuck her. But once it becomes apparent that Kotonoha isn't ready for sexy stuff, and he realizes there's another girl who's actually spending time with him and interested in the stuff he wants to do... then it becomes clear that Sekai is the winner. And then Kotonoha tries to step up her sexiness to win him back, but it's too late for her. You snooze, you lose.
I don't know if you've only seen the anime and played 2 Sekai routes but things go very differently depending on the choices you make. They form a much stronger emotional connection whereas with Sekai it's sex first, dating later maybe. Actually even in the anime he eventually goes back to Kotonoha because she's the only one who actually loves him despite his flaws. Sekai killed him over them like a spoiler brat.I interpreted the story differently.

Besides, the only reason Kotonoha doesn't backstab her friend is because she doesn't have any friends
Your game didn't install properly. I had the same issue a few years ago. Don't use the installer and follow these instructions instead: Mount the first ISO file, copy the entire "School days" folder over to where you want the game. Mount the second ISO, copy the "School days" folder to the same place and let the folders merge. You should have a fully playable game in that folder now. Enjoy.
I already found the solution. An antivirus was indeed at fault, but I've already fixed it. And by the way, I bought the game from Jast USA, so I didn't have two ISO files, but five BIN files and installer and BIN to ISO conversion didn't work, so I couldn't even use this solution
