Obviously, yeah? When I'm talking about what they would want I mean exactly that, the characters the way they are written. They may be freaky and horny and chill about a lot of stuff, but their romance plots are for the most part vanilla and conventional. It's not a suspension of disbelief problem -- not that an unconventional relationship would even require that as it's not something inherently fantastical, it would just have to be written convincingly -- most girls are just not written in a way that makes it seem they would be fine with harem.
I disagree on that, i actually think most of Mc's relationships aren't conventional, most started as casual or in weird circunstances, maybe the only exceptions were Amber, Alice, maybe Jess and i guess Claudia.
Emily had problems in a previous relationship and is still uncertain about something more serious. Liz used to think she was unable to even have a real relationship. Tifanny barely reached the point of admiting being friends with Mc and never gave a definitive answer about something deeper. And i can't even begin to describe the chaotic situationship with Ella.
Amber spent years seing Mc as just a friend, so from being attracted to him to knowing he was involved with other girls (specially her sister) she had basically no time. I would say they started casual, with Amber trying not to fall for him, failing, and by that point just accepting he was a huge slut, something that even helped her in a way (with her and Liz being with the same guy).
Alice was too afraid to give herself a chance given her personnal history, mainly since her parents relationship imploded. More than exclusivity she wants someone who will never abandon her. Then it was show she has a degree of interest in sharing. Despite being very loving she is also detached, from the vey start she told Mc she would never behave like a "regular girlfriend".
Jess was dating the major prick Jared and tired of being cheated on. It's argueable if being with Mc was even cheating in her case, but she was willing to share (with Tess) at least in terms of physical relationship. From her i think the problem would be hiding things, not necessarily being with others.
Claudia is a sweetheart, but she is still in the awkward flirting phase, she seems upset at the idea of taking someone else's boyfriend and of a good guy dating a mean girl (from the interaction with Elijah and Nia). I don't know how against she would be to being part of a harem, but i'm sure she would be willing to sacrifice her own happiness for Tifanny. Now, if her sister said "that's ok, you can date him too" i can't imagine lots of objections, or at least any that would last long.
All the others are, by definition, casual as fuck. Christie, Nico, Alexis, Demi, Angelina, even Brianna, none ever gave a hint of demanding exclusivity, so i don't see how most, or even some would be against the idea of harem to the degree of this being a breaking point.
