Not really, and not likely unless it's by a villain who the MC and his party then kill or otherwise defeat, rescuing the victim from that person. The closest thing so far is the MC and an ally of his
using magic to bind a woman, then later to enslave her, but they're doing so as just punishment for a crime and not for any sexual interest or purpose.
This game isn't a harem game its a poly relationship game as harem the mc is the only one the harem members focus on poly is where the harem members can have sex with each other and since t5he dev made a les coupe that falls into the poly relationship. devs need to understand the meaning between the 2 types.
This is not accurate to the game as portrayed so far. Far too much attention has been placed in these comments on a few of the girls having some interest in other girls, and Vander's mention of a single pre-existing relationship that will continue once inside the harem.
I'll reiterate what
mrttao said so accurately above:
* This is not a cuck-adjacent game.
* This MC is one of the most alpha chad MCs you will see in a game.
* Trust me here, if you like harem and hate NTR, then just download and play the game.
And to support mrttao's comment about the concerns being based on the assumption of a limited cast, I agree completely. People may be assuming we're looking at a "six or seven LI harem" type game, which we are not.
At present (U10b), the game includes:
11 members of the harem who have already had sex with the MC:
* 1 wife (
Karla)
* 1 fiancee (
Avila)
* 2 concubines (commoners who cannot marry the noble MC:
Monica,
Naesala)
* 7 additional harem members who have been explicitly claimed (
Aoife (MC personal maid),
Anne (maid in baths),
Martha (Athagan's personal maid),
Milla (other maid from baths, who was with Monica there),
Celeste (Karla's personal maid),
Latia (cook),
Lia (guard))
27 additional prospective harem members of varying degrees of confidence:
* 2 prospective concubines who have actively expressed interest (
Cinthia (Monica's little sister) and
Miriella (Avila's friend), who has the complication of her father forbidding it for now)
* 2 close allies who will almost definitely be joining the harem eventually (
Kes,
Erika)
* 1 person who appears theoretically unlikely but we have assurances that there will be story reasons to change this (
Liliana (Athagan's wife/Avila's mother))
* 2 people who are highly likely based purely on story prominence and I also have assurance on one of them (
Sarah (the princess),
Sariel (the queen))
* 3 additional household maids who will almost definitely end up joining (
Amel (the Southern Isles maid),
Estrid (the bratty/masochistic Northerner maid), and
Aline (the newly-introduced redhead maid))
* 3 additional named household guards who will probably end up joining as they've expressed varying levels of interest (
Suter (the guard captain),
Helissent (the guard who speaks Elvish), and
Zarah (the guard who saw the MC naked when patrolling the castle at night))
* 3 priestesses of Ishtar who have expressed varying levels of interest (
Helen (High Priestess of Ishtar, Karla specifically said she was into the MC, and we saw she was interested),
Sirina (black ponytail priestess), and
Joan (short black hair priestess), the latter two of whom expressed admiration for the MC during his ritual with Aoife)
* 3 and potentially up to 8 elves, with two of the elves very likely (
Arwen (elf princess),
Ailah (Arwen bonded servant),
Calarel (Arwen sister), at least five unnamed elven villagers)
* 8 people who objectively as players we know will be joining despite not a lot of lead-up so far (
Laura (Monica's mother),
Linette (Miriella's slave),
Adah (Huntress from Glenval),
Vivian (the big woodcutter lady met during the festival who expressed some interest; Vander wasn't sure she'd find an appreciative audience, but we all love her, heh),
Jebelle (weaponsmith, Asambé's little sister),
Jess (the town cryer), and
Dorcas and Ethel (half-elf merchant saved by the party and her mute lesbian lover))
(entries below are not included in the totals above)
* up to 10 other potential people but who haven't had any obvious signs of interest one way or the other but are likely just given the model styles, lack of jewelry, and story presence so far (
Julia (the intendant),
Nenha (the intendant's former assistant/now-slave),
Alyah (the collared criminal woman who can't be transferred away from the MC),
Dazmorah (Kes' dwarf friend),
Selana (healer priestess of Marduk),
Ness (Monica's friend, selling bread/cheese/wine at the festival),
Lena (pretty white-haired fisticuffs contestant),
Gertrud (Sariel's bodyguard),
Grizella (the Witch in Glenval), and
Thefana (worker at the orphanage))
* up to 12 other named people who are less likely due to various factors (
Solah (high priestess of Andolisa, runs the orphanage, is older),
Ellen (woodcutter, strength contest contestant, is forgettable),
Laudna (archery contestant, unpleasant personality/sore loser),
Rosamund (woman who lost her daughter to the Wasting),
Rakia (fisticuffs contestant, little development),
Servila (fisticuffs contestant, little development),
Lisa (random patron of Monica's bar),
Serena (riding contestant for Swanford),
Lea (riding contestant for Old Wilburg),
Otaa (riding contestant for Honshu/the Emperor, tried to cheat to beat Naesala),
Darwa (elf queen, Arwen/Calarel mother), and
Galadrael (elf Council Elder, druid lady))
* at least 2 unnamed people who have unique models and show no sign of claiming, making them potentially able to be fleshed out and join later on, or who have other potential plot relevance (
the other priestess of Marduk with the platinum blonde long braid,
the bandit captured after the troll event)
* at least 5 mentioned but not shown people who might or might not be, depending entirely on how the story goes and what their existing status currently is, which we don't know yet (
Karla's "sisters" are mentioned, but the number and their ages/marital statuses were not mentioned,
Arwen's friend Saida was mentioned but hasn't been met yet as far as we know,
the fae tracker contracted to find Eloise has been mentioned but not named, and
Karla's magic mentor Lady Lillion))
* any number of people Vander will be adding in the future that we haven't met yet.
So conservatively, there are at least
31 harem members if every single one of the 'maybes' above aren't members. If all of the above-listed characters with any chance of joining the harem do, we're looking at
48-60 harem members, and that's with absolutely zero other new characters being members. The real number is likely going to be somewhere in the middle between those two values. (Original post had 19/35 for these two numbers)
As an FYI, named women introduced who are not going to be harem members: (to the best of my knowledge and suspicion)
* Anyone underage (Maria (MC/Karla daughter), Miyuki (orphan), Peregrine (orphan), Flavia (mentioned orphan)
Solange (Lia daughter))
* Asambé's wives (
Adele, Darlene, Zibu?)
* Eloise (
Sariel's disowned older daughter, who is a straight-up antagonist with too much blood on her hands)
* Sabrina (
riding contestant for Seldorm and the Queen, wearing jewelry)
