About people falling in love with MC it is just a thing about taste. For every woman out there who will love a guy like Sicae MC, who is a badass powerful assassin, there is a woman who will love a kind hearted common dude. Also, according to Jess, Sicae MC is suposed to be kind hearted as well, just a bit more edgy. She even says that MBML MC reminds her of him iirc. Also, MC has some layers to him as well, he took charge when it came to confront Hera and Moon said he displayed bloodlust when talking about finding his father. In his conversation with Jess in the latest chapter, he seemed to be quite resourceful as well, it even caught Claire's attention (I wish she would be one of the LIs honestly).
You got me wrong, i didnt said its unlikely for girls to fall in love with a kind hearted and careing guy. It happens all the time in reality. But it kinda falls flat when he's cheating behind the girls backs all the time and if he isnt really kind-hearted whats there to fall in love with him so far? Esp as its like 8 or 9 girls so far.
The point it tried to make about the sicae mc (and the sicae-setting) was about it being more reasonable considering his character and his position/status/abilitys and he isnt potrayed is this lovey-dovey guy who loses his heart left and right, instead he activevly keeps the li's away from him at first.
And yeah i think we will see a progression with our mc too and seeing it already (but the girls were already in love with him at this point) and i like the mc being not the standart-kind of mc but it doesnt really fit together at this point imo.
I agree completly about Claire but she has a different view on most things anyway lmao, she for sure doesnt need a "strong/hyper-masculine" guy, shes probably stronger than all guys on the planet anyway lmao.
And about people not getting mad about the harem. Sky got her heart broken and it took a while for her to even speak to MC and get on board with everything, Aine was pissed when Freya came into it and Emma wasn't very keen on the idea either, but eventually they decided they loved MC enough to come around and acclimate to the whole thing. It is a harem, for it to work as a harem, all girls have to be ok with it. If every single girl got pissed with the idea and refused, wouldn't be a harem and if they just got pissed and you had to spend a bunch of time trying to convince them, it would make for a bunch of unecessary drama that would drag the game around. If you like this type of drama, more power to you, to each their own, but honestly, when I play a harem game or read a harem manga, I just want the girls to get along and everyone to be happy.
All this things are even more true on a hentai VN, if you got a bunch of drama trying to build the harem, it would take away from all the +18 action and then it would be pointless to make it an adult game.
I agree with sky and should have included her with gwen and moon where it mostly worked out. Its mostly Aine's and Freya's reaction which seemed to be not reasonable at all to me. Being caught fucking your fiances sister and nobody cares is just weird for me lmao, Emma was very questionable imo too already.
Im not looking for the drama, it would have been worked out better having the talk without being caught fucking your fiances sister minutes earlier already but i guess i would have wished for a different setup. I think there would have been possibilitys to get everyone on board with gwen's help in more believeable way. Maybe ..
But on the other hand im not looking for a nonstop competition between the harem-girls for the mc's attention either, it sounds really annoying and unnerving lmao (i dont think it will be like that in the avn but the idea in general). I would really prefer a harem with harmony between the girls.
And i dont really get your reasoning. Your saying its a harem game and therefore all girls have to be okay with it no matter the setup .. yeah no .. my point is getting there in a way which is reasonable.
And just to clarify again: Its not that big of a deal, just a minor gripe for me. The avn is still a 5/5 imo and i dont mind the MC and even like him for being different to usual mc's.
