in my personal opinion *** and harem are completely opposite sides of a scale. In a harem MC gets all the girls exclusiv forhim self, in the other MC loses them all and everything.I agree with you. It's definitely still a harem, even if you don't pursue an LI. For instance, I don't like "mom" characters so I avoid them. Doesn't mean the game I'm playing isn't a harem, it's just I'm not choosing to 100% it, if you will. This one I wanted to 100% (eventually). When I first played this game, I avoided Yui because she was kind of a bitch, Wendy because she posted lewds online, and Elaine because she got around. My preferences have since changed and none of that stuff bothers me anymore. Right before Chapter 3 I went back and replayed the entire game from the start and chose to "catch 'em all". Also, all the girls are super attractive and there is a nice variance of body types.
Eira is still my favorite, but I think she got done dirty, especially with that hospital scene. I wanted better for her. Also, if she was beaten up the day before, she's so meek that I feel like she wouldn't be up for something as strenuous as sex the next day.
As for the "this isn't a harem anymore" argument... tensions and emotions ran high because of how late this happened into the project, and misunderstands of what does/does not count as... those letters... to this kink. All we can do now is wait and see what comes of this. I'm not going to say I have high hopes because I've seen other projects where the dev makes a change to better suite the harem crowd and then goes on to make another one in the very next update. However, I'm optimistic yet cautious. Also, feels like we're near the end? I don't know if it was ever stated how long this was going to be, but now that we've chosen how to handle Victor, I can't imagine there is a lot left, unless we're up for a fight with him. But, we still don't have a lot of interactions with the new fam, so maybe we're only like halfway done? Tough to tell considering the MC's timeframe for getting the blueprints to Victor is relatively soon.
Curious about the siding with him route. I think when I try that when it's implemented I will replay and reject everyone and play the emotionally dead MC to a fault. Should be interesting, and we'll at least still have Mila(?) at the end.
You cant make a game with both without trample all over the fans of one of those kinks.
Except you are making two completely different routes that never touch upon another after they split.
So if we start with what happened here, it has broken the harem kink, because for it to be a Harem MC is getting everyone exclusively, which is now after the last two updates no longer the case. Elaine as is, is dead. That's not a matter of likes or dislikes for slutty characters, she is no longer exclusive, or worse she never was. She is no longer a harem LI. So its no longer a Harem game.
I also tend to stay away from fake harem games, only because you can hookup with everyone, doesn't make a game a harem game.
You also cant make a game with pregnancy/breeding fetish and have the MC wear a condom or pullout every time without player input and at best he finishes inside a girls ass. Sure you can tell everyone its a Breeding fetish game but the kink is not delivered. Same situation here just another execution.
But Dev said he will fix it so there is that hope he pulls it off, i liked the game before that clusterfuck ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
