I've noticed the author is around a fair bit so I figured I'd ask a question and maybe get an answer.
First let me preface this by saying I really enjoy this game. I've been playing it since its first update and have replayed it a couple times. You've made the rare game where I really love all the LIs. And therein lies the problem.
I'm a guy who loves wholesome games and thus much prefers the romance aspects to the sexy times. The affection routes have been very good at combining those so far. Because of this I tend to only play games with harem endings or only a single LI. It's also why I tend not to play stuff until it's had a few updates.
I read your recent post about what a harem is in your opinion and I agree that it means the girls need to know about each other and be OK with it. And yes bonus points if they live with MC.
You stated in your post that a full harem ending is unlikely. I'm sure you don't want to spoil anything, but I'm hoping you can give a better idea of what unlikely means. There have been games in the past (like Callisto) where the game has had the harem tag, all the LI have known about the situation and interacted together but in the end a choice of one LI suddenly had to be made.
Now when I think of those games I only have feelings of bitterness and annoyance at wasting hours of my time. I've really enjoyed this game and I'd just really like to know whether I should keep playing or just back out now and hope that your next game will give me an ending more to my liking. I'd rather be sad at quiting the game now than angry at the end.
Either way I just want to reiterate that your game has been a lot of fun and whether it ends in a way I can enjoy or not, I wish you the best. Thanks.
