I don't know what you're seeing to get these wild assumptions about my comments.
I don't have cronies...
I am simply stating how the demographics and markets work... I don't choose how they work.
Nor am I complaining about your game (I haven't even played it to complain about it)... What I have said is general things that apply to any game.
As for that thing you call delusional... that is basic character writing.
You define what your character would and wouldn't do.... however by adding in avoidable content, you change character with it being something they would do.
That's how character writing works, if a character would never do X... then in the story they never do X.
If they instead do X, then it is within that characters personality to do X.
Majority of harem fans... don't want LIs where that X is anti-harem behavior.
To take this to an extreme, no harem player wants an LI, where the MC has to stop them from cheating on him.. when they could just go play a game with an LI that would simply not cheat on MC.
Your example of rejecting them doesn't really work as a comparison because that doesn't change the LIs character/personality. They would still be into what they're normally into.
I say this not to ridicule or patronize, but to attempt to help with understanding.
Cause I know harem market works this way, I didn't choose for it to be so, I just know it to be so from my own market research, and it is only going to become more like that, as there is more abundance of games where they can be picky and still have plenty to play.
Think of it like a single guy who doesn't have any options, he will probably go for any woman that gives him attention, but you give him abundance of choice, then he will be picky.
So like that guy with many options, harem fans have many options, so they will ignore the sub-optimal options, and go with the best options (ones that have zero anti-harem content typically being the case).
Anyway, it is not my intent to sound like a cracked record, nor to antagonize you, quite the opposite.
So I will leave it there, it's a shame you have misunderstood my intention though.
Good luck with your game, hope you find a demographic you are content with.
