You're right, and I think that the noun for that choice between one path and harem is polyamory. My understanding is that there are about a dozen love interests in the game, so far. Ideally, I'd want the MC to develop a polyamorous relationship with three love interests: Jenna, Jolina and Debbie.
Although, at the same time, I don't know how Debbie could get written into that. And if Jolina turns out to be involved with Bella in a way that places the MC in jeopardy, then that rules out Jolina, too.
I also think that part of the reason why decisions are hard for me in this game is because it's difficult to know who is trustworthy. I'm not sure if I was the only one, but I really didn't know what to make of Monica's response to the MC's question about his mother being pregnant with him (I can't remember the episode); she seemed vague and avoidant. In another episode a few episodes back, I think, I recall Jolina mentioning that she had something to share about herself with the MC, but it was never fully explored later on. Lily is another example; she was supposedly known as "Dizzy" Lily at school, but is this just a persona? And in this latest episode, the name or nickname "Dizzy" was referenced again.
It seems like many if not most of the characters either have ulterior motives or at the very least are harbouring secrets that may partly or largely impact the MC. There are so many factors and variables here that make the game so engaging, and really make me wonder whether I want more than one love interest in the end.
