It doesn't lead you on, at no point it promises you any sort of harem route. Having shared "common route" which eventually splits into individual path(s) for the girl you pick is a very common approach to VNs. Though admittedly this is more common for Japanese games than the Western take on the subject.

The common route is a harem route(again not actually a harem but I don't have a better term for it). Even with the individual routes it's still a harem(you get what I mean) because they don't impede each other with a few exceptions(some make sense, others don't). It just feels like a way for the dev to artificially extend playtime so he has more time between updates which I get but also considering the purpose of a game is to be enjoyable this is an impediment.
EDIT: Let people have a choice is all I'm saying so you don't force them to make a choice they don't want to make.

It may not be very realistic, but for me a harem route would just make it ridiculous. Some of the drama of "Being a DIK" stems from the MC's growing feelings of guilt and doubt as his number of sexual partners/romantic interests expands. Having to choose among several very compelling love interests is part of what makes this story so compelling, in my view. There are a few harem games I've enjoyed, but only because it's porn fantasy cranked up to 11. I can't think of a harem game that made me really connect with any of the characters on a genuinely emotional level. Look at the whole Josy-Maya-MC situation from the first season. In a harem game that whole story would be moot because regardless of Josy's and Maya's feelings, they would become part of the MC's harem in the end. It just doesn't fit this kind of game.

I wanted to be a Saudi prince so i would pay 10 millions dollars just to DPC add a branch where MC spend all his nights in Pink Rose having fun with the wholesome ladys there.

Yup, I was hoping that we could have Harem path but apparently we need to select a primary LI (choices are between Jill, Bella, Sage, Maya/Josy, and Quinn right?)

It would be far, far cheaper to go to Vegas in real life. More women as well since there would not be RAM limitations
Except it's not coming from the persona you've crested for me. The thing you call ''rolling'' is just being friends or fuckbuddies. Going to bars or parties together is nothing special. And this entire first section of your comment is irrelevant.
You're seriously going to be sit here and say fucking a dozen girls simultaneously while also advancing to the dating stage with like half of them is even close to realistic?

Being a Saudi Prince, i would play my 10M-branch in my room while some Top-Tier Vegas's strippers will give a treat to my cock
I agree that it would be immersion breaking and ridiculous story wise. The thing is not everyone has the time to go through every route of a 20GB game and the fact that the MC is even making such a choice as a guy who just turned 19 is insane. All he has to do is remove the branch locks so the people who want to see every branch in their playthrough are able to. He doesn't need to change the dialogue or scenes at all. That way everyone will be happy - the ones who want a romance story and the completionists.
Others just means the side characters. I was confused about it at first too.
Right. I mute every Renpy game before playing it.
At the time you make the decision you've been doing quite a bit more than just seeing a lot of the characters. And a dozen different people who all know each other is not ''a few''. Personally the fact that Bella is even a route makes no logical sense to me considering she knows you're dating Jill as well and yet seems to have no problems with it makes no sense but I'll take it cuz she's hot.
I never really saw any thought given to Jill by Bella. Her problems always seemed to be related to James, age difference and her job. Bella would never realistically fuck Fuckface if Fuckface was dating Jill.
Bella literally blows him or at least starts to while Jill is in the other room. I don't think Fuckface and Jill were quite dating at that point but Bella was fully aware of Jill's feelings about MC. And she expressed no concerns about that.
That's too bad, but then they could always opt for wasting less time posting on the forums how the game should accommodate them and actually spend that time playing the game instead..?
(this may sound cold, but believe me, i get the time constraints and having a backlog that grows faster than you can chew through it. Ultimately a much better solution is to learn to let things go; play the route(s) you like, and move on. There's zero gain from wasting time on parts and routes you don't enjoy, just so you can tell yourself you've "completed" the game)
You underestimate the drive of a completionist, especially considering all the routes are good.

She always has the guilty feelings about James, though not in this incident. I never saw Bella try to push Jilla and MC together and certainly not because of her own guilt. Bellas view on MC has always been, at least in my view, more about the fact that MC is a good guy while she fucking hates Tybalt.
Arieth would be fucking awesome especially considering MC would get crabs which would make quite the funny scenes in game
