Why are you playing this game then? It was pretty clear from the start where this game was heading. Did you actually play the game? Because it's obvious that you comment make no sense, there is plenty of drama in the harem just look at the whole Kaylan situation or the jealousy of Flora. Girls aren't mindless in this game and you saying that really shows how much attention you give to the plot, just because they accept sharing the protagonist doesn't make them fuck dolls, they all have their own agendas and objectives.
But you seem like one of those that scream every time they have to add a cute girl to a harem. "Oh my god this girl wants the protagonist what a cruel thing to do" right?
You are talking shit without knowing.
First, if you must know, I am playing the game because of the setting. MC taking over a kingdom, the political intrigue and more. The fact that his head could be cut if we choose wrong (suppodsely). This is all compatible with or without harem. So your point "why are you playing this game if bal bla bla harem bla bla bla?" Is moot.
As I said, all that is consistent with the harem. If you actually read my comment, I was explicit that the thing has deteriorated recently. In the beginning, there was conflict. True conflict. "We get caught we die". Now it is as silly as you mentioned "I dont like this, this is terrible, but you are so awesome so do it". That is conflict?
I liked the harem in the beginning. It was clear it was going to be that, but MC had to work for it. Now it is just "sure, get into the waggon, there is so space in the back".
And yes, many of them are acting as fuck dolls. Aelinia and Cassia, for example, are too proud to be just another woman. Aelinia made ir clear she has to be first, but that's it.
I understand Flora position as servant, but many others are given proud personalities and a lot of social standing. Why they are all accepting becoming just another one in a one thousand team does not do well with me. Take Dina or Diana (the daughter). Party girl, if you will. Sees the MC twice (that i remember now) and goes all "oh yes marry me I love you". Right....
Long story short. The problem right now it is not the harem, it is the triviality of it. I would have prefered MC harem to remain smaller but more involved. Picking main wife having consequences, adding some women having real conflict with the ones inside. If marriage is political, it makes sense choosing A might not be consistent with her enemy B. In fact, I was even expecting to make decisions "this girl is cuter, but this one is smarter... to which of my heads I need to listen".. now "both get in, I couldn't care shit about consequences.."
