Haha, well that's a compliment you don't hear (or read, as is the case) everyday, only a handful of people have told me that they enjoy reading my thoughts and analytics on various VNs and games, haha, so I appreciate it.
And you're right, I am an old, hopeless romantic at heart, very much so. While I do appreciate sex and all just as much as the next person, to me personally it's better if it's fueled by romance and deep emotions that build up slowly but gradually, however old-fashioned that may be, haha, but it's still better that way. Relationship based on sex doesn't last very long most of the time, especially if the couple has nothing in common, lack similar passions and dreams and generally lacks any real connection to one another. And if it's just sex one wants, just go to a bar or a club, pick up a chick (or a guy) and get it done, but that's not me, though, haha.
A lot of stories seem to have the same set-up though; MC living in a house with 2-3 women, usually family members, he later on engages in relationship with all of them, usually one of them is romantic, the other(s) sexual, that's almost always the case in such VNs, so there's always the element of jealousy present. But that's where it stays in most stories, whether you can choose who you romance or you're forced to be with them all, doesn't matter, they never find out about each other, in most stories. That's something I find weird really, and honestly, I think it would be better for the story if the relationship with whichever character could end up being found out, that would add its own drama on top of everything else, and in some cases opportunities, but it would be different at least and not so generic.
