He wrote himself into a corner in more ways than one. I haven't played this update yet, but harem game this is not. Both Emma and Charlotte are emotionally fragile and Charlotte is not going to allow the MC to romance anyone else. Her sister is already an exclusive choice - it is her or Charlotte. Emma is definitely off limits, unless she starts 'sleepwalking' like in Corrupted Love.
I'm glad it's not a harem game, cause harems are not my thing. I probably wouldn't have played it if it was. I loved the sensitive feminine females aspect of the story at first as opposed to masculinized women we are getting browbeat with these days in mainstream media, but it was taken to the extreme, slamming it against the outer wall of the box.
I got interested in the game originally because I was drawn to mature man/young adult woman stories at that time. But this VN turned out a more or less a dead end and waste of time, because I'm honest with myself that MC/Emma love here simply can't work because he made her too child-like. She has no clue about love or sex or romance, she is barely now AT 19 YEARS OF AGE starting to deal with puberty hormones!!! Sure, she was sheltered to the point of child abuse, BUT biology doesn't given an eff about that, which the dev clearly doesn't understand. In fact, she originally focused on MC as a potential father and is now being forced due to her child personality by the dev to change and grow up by force within a few weeks to see him as a sex partner in scenes that honestly rang really unbelievable.
Had she instead been written as a normal girl from the start, just without sexual experience and with increased maturity due to caring for her incredibly traumatised mother who was incapable of taking care of herself; it would've worked. Hell, she would've emotionally been older than her 19 and thus her acceptance of an older partner instead of immature boys of her age would've been much more realistic and natural.
The only thing the author can do now is to send Emma away to her designer gig to mature out of sight and then come back to MC ready. BUT then she wouldn't be the girl he cared for anymore since he wasn't there for the process and he would have to learn who she is now first; and she would've probably grown up in a way that would be incompatible with her former awakening feelings for him, especially with her being in a fashion business which is known for moral corruption, depravities, orgies, drugs, etc.
Charlotte has more hope, BUT the pacing is unbelievable. If she was as traumatised as we were led to believe, Charlotte would be having PTSD episodes and nervous breakdowns constantly from having a man in her house. she wouldn't get to the point of such trust and starting a relationship after just weeks, especially not without professional counseling. The affair with the blond model is the most realistic, but sadly also with the least success cause there is no emotional connection, only sex.
I never played Corrupted Love, can you please explain what you mean by that?
