i do think you stuck a decent balance though,enough main girls with story, the maids are mainly side girls and don't get much backstory/screen time but still enough to not make feel empty and boring.I get what you mean. It's a fair criticism. But I like my harems extensive, you know!
No, seriously, most maids are...pleasant disctractions. They are not meant to be LIs with a in-depth relationship. They are there to bring some fun, and some variety. There are exceptions like Aoife, of course.
The "main" LIs were a little bit neglected of late, true, but their stories will pick up soon. Notably the MC will be out and about with his party for a few days. And the mission to eliminate Sariel's daughter will be a long one, and as such I'll have plenty of time to develop them. Others LIs need the story to swith back to WIldale before they can progress.
But yeah, The Fiery Scion is a VN with a lot of LIs and not a VN with a few LIs with a very elaborate romance. Of course, some LI's romances will be deeper.
I mean, I designed the world itself so that large harems are part of the setting. And there still a lot of story to come, and a lot of time for developping the romances.
And the harem is mostly full anyways. I won't add a lot of them after the Queen's maids. A few from differents races, like Minotaurs and High-Elves, or from countries not visited yet.. In addition to the ones the MC told Lilianna about.
But yeah, the MC is a horndog with a pregnancy fetish in a world full of single horny women...he's going to fuck around a lot. It's by design.
i've not gotten that feeling off "to much" yet because i think you're writing it well enough to get away with it
