That was not what the original discussion was about though. I was arguing against the need to take things slower and that the progression of sexual content is fine the way it is. I think the issue you are pointing out is an issue I agree with - the MC can be a bit more considerate. I also want the MC to be more open to annie and the game establishing that either annie is ok with the MC seeing other girls (I am sure she is ok but I want the game to be more explicit about it) or making it clear this is not 1:1. I also did not like the way he was willing to throw away money she had been saving up for him on some random whore - he came off as a complete asshole to me in that scene. But this is not what I am trying to talk about.That's just not true, though. You can make more believable characters in a harem game. Being ok with an harem isn't some magical thing that instantly destroys a character's believability. Going into a game like this everyone will have a certain suspension of disbelief and that suspension of disbelief will generally extends to all the hot women being strangely very ok with a harem. Noone is saying that the girls aren't allowed to be ok with a harem. The problem isn't that Eternum is a harem game, the problem is how Eternum goes about it's harem elements. You don't need endless drama to write a harem more believable than it is currently in Eternum.
There isn't really anything wrong with most of the girls development so far. Nancy, Dahlia, Alex and Nova have pretty much all established that what happened so far is not part of a serious thing. Even if they don't really mean it, there's no real problem there with Orion doing it with other girls as well. Annie is just the outlier here. He's started seriously dating her and hasn't mentioned the other girls to her or even just thought about her with other girls. It doesn't need drama, but it would have helped if he had given annie a heads up. When they made the date arrangement or even after the date. He wouldn't even need to directly mention doing stuff with other girls. For example he could have asked her if she wants them to be exclusive and given how nervous annie is about dating orion and how she tries to downplay stuff it would have made sense for her be like "Oh, it's chill, all cool, don't worry about it."
I don't disagree that Eternum is fun the way it it. We wouldn't be commenting here at all, if we weren't invested in the game. But that doesn't mean it's devoid of things to critisize. And I do heavily disagree witht the assessment that more believable character interactions in harem games need drama. That's one way to write them, but it is by far not the only way to write them.
What I am trying to say is the girls advances towards the MC is fine the way it is and does not need to be changed. I dont see anything wrong with Dalia willing to give the MC a blowjob or Nancy flirting and being open to the MC's advances in the roman server. I am perfectly ok with the pace of the sexual content and I dont think it needs to be slowed down for the sake of realism. The change that I think needs to happen is within the MC and not within the girls.
