But I don't think this has been written as a 'Friends with Benefit' Situation in mind as @DanB has speculated, I think Cardi truly wants to go the exotic Harem/Romance Mixed Route, which of course only can work in fiction, hehe.
Either you're misunderstanding, or I haven't been clear enough. Even if I hadn't heard that the current update includes professions of love from both Dalia and Alex, I'd be expecting them in fairly short order--I completely believe that the end state will be that all the LIs (with the possible, but by no means certain, exception of Nancy) will be, and admit to being, in love with MC, and he with them. But that isn't where we're at as of the ending of 0.7 (I need to get around to playing through 0.8), and they all happen on a different time line:
- Annie and MC were in love with each other before the story started, even if neither of them knew it of the other. Once they talk after the thighjob, even if they haven't exactly said it in as many words (though Annie barely stops herself from saying, "I love you" in Ion), they both know.
- Luna and MC develop romantic feelings pretty early on, and it's definite at the Day of the Dead party.
- Nova and MC have expressed mutual romantic feelings by the end of 0.7, even if MC's a bit of a bonehead.
- Penny's feelings aren't quite as clear, though she describes them to Nova, twice, as a crush. Dialogue from MC (e.g., leading up to her scene with the Lambo) sounds like he sees the situation as more FWB than romantic.
- Alex and Dalia, though, through the end of 0.7, are playing tough girls and trying not to let any feelings show (even if they recognize them--Alex is shown earlier struggling with them).
So my thought was, and remains, that whatever feelings Alex and Dalia had or recognized, they were as of the last I saw not admitting them to anyone else--they were messing around with MC, but not romantic with him. Hence, as of that time, FWB, but definitely headed for more. And for that matter, MC's feelings--and recognition of those feelings--are growing over time too.
Oh yeah, and as to MC's, um, equipment, this ought to be his theme song:
