I don't actually mind the Harem routes. They're nice. I just like to go rougher and more domineering if given the option. But yeah if I'm going the whore route I want to treat all my bitches equally. I'd rather not put one on a pedestal above all the others by having her be the only harem route girl while all my other bitches are treated like masochistic degradation sluts.I don't know what the whore routes are like (and I assume that it's very unlikely that I like them, with or without sharing), but I'm quite liking the harem routes. I guess we have different tastes, so it's good that the game gives of both options.
Emilia's harem route is totally to my liking. And Sam and Rachael's are very good. I didn't like the beginning of the teacher's harem route so much, although it improves later. On the other hand, I haven't started any routes with Sakura yet, but the truth is that it's unlikely that I will. In fact I can't find any reason to start it.
So I mostly want Whore route Emilia so that I can can recruit her into my stable of bitches without feeling like my relationship with her is an odd outlier compared to my other fuckpets...
