So, any reason it's so easy to die in the TUTORIAL level? Ya know, the underground mines? And the Dragon Princess boss? Seriously, I've died to that stuff so much.
It is a starter quest designed years ago before Controller Support (Since this game uses buttons outside the scope of native rpg maker) so it's had a bit of growing pains... Doesn't look like Towerfag plans to revise that with an Intuitive Tutorial or stop resetting custom controller setup on new game+ anytime soon.
However when in doubt cheat it out or "Get Good"

Also, what do you do after you get to the main map? How do you get more princesses???
There is a Big Glowing Cheat Crystal on the World Map, find it as this will be your friend, a beacon of light shining in the dark or an easy way to access the Gallery
While your exploring the World try some
You must be registered to see the links
to help you find where you are going. Besides that go to the Tavern and take some quest, worm your way into the hearts of the people under the Princess you decided to woo, keep doing quest until that Princess will talk with you, then give her gifts to raise her affection more, soon enough you'll start going down her Route, look up info on said Princess if you are having trouble, and if there is no info then be a Pioneer and make some
Oh, before I forget the only Harem Route is the Slave Route
Because unfortunately Towerfag doesn't like supporting Harems
