Bella's route being intercepted like that did feel a bit unusual given how careful Cathy was being about everything, definitely agree that there was no reason left them behind. On top of that, Bella doesn't even care about you going after Jill and is actively encouraging it, so her turn on the Cathy thing seemed a bit forced. Although I suspect it was just to have another way to end her route given how you have to pick someone and end other routes at the end of Chapter 2.
I have not tried to woo Jade while also keeping up with Josy and Maya. My first run I had barely missed the mark on the DiK/Chick scale to stay in the throuple, so I never had a chance to be with them. My second run, I did not pursue Jade because I wanted to see any different interactions it may have had. How does it make you friendzone them to fling with Jade? is it just a straight choice, like pick one of them now or something?
While I do think the majority of the LIs are phenomenal I am actually glad there is no harem option, as of yet. Harem endings tend to make individual choices seem to not matter much in the end, and I really, REALLY like this games inclusion of choices having an actual, noticeable impact on future situations.
