I'm anticipating the corruption arc that is definitely in the works. This whole romance/love arc reeks of Beta Male Syndrome. Nice guys always finish last, it's in our DNA. Women in general are ruthless in their pursuit of a high quality mate, and being nice to them is a sign of either weakness or cunning (they think you're manipulating their feelings).
In a perfect world women would be attracted to humility, kindness and elegance in a man, but the sad truth is that they are drawn towards the confident, ruthless leader type that tends to look down on everyone else.
While it is true that a man who is desired by multiple women (for whatever reason) tends to amplify their characteristics, seeming more and more desirable just because of the amount of women who want him, the MC doesn't really behave any differently than the average person. I just had to put that out there, just a little critique of the current state of the game.
