One thing I realised about Harem games in general is that they all (to my knowledge) avoid an 'upkeep' mechanic for the relationships. This means that the MC, and player, inevitably 'love-bomb' each new girl, who then fades into the background until their next scripted scene. And I'm okay with that, the logistics and energy required (plus other characteristics) to maintain a poly relationship of any size is fantastical, and harem games are mostly about escapism.
But seeing our first two lovers from PL(1) show up to the island, basically say 'hey,' then sail off without spending any meaningful time with MC, or the whole build-up to Olga's date, kind of illuminates the fragility of those relationships to the realities of adult life.
