Look, I do agree that this looks like a Harem game (more like multiple harem game). However, my opinion is I like it. It's the dev's prerogative how he wants to take us through the journey of his making.
Nobody said they didn't like it nor blame the dev for anything or ask him to change anything, no idea where you were going with that.
It's just at the start we assumed it was a relationship building game to find romance at the end and it kinda turned into a harem game.
The only thing I was annoyed about was with myself because I played multiple routes for the relationships I wanted when I didn't need to, I could have had them all with 1 playthrough with no consequences.
No complaints about the game I just got it wrong about what kind of game it was. I assumed dating sim when it was pokemon catch em all harem. The only downside to harem games is the relationships with the girls don't feel as special I guess is the word, they are kinda just there.
Again, I love the game, it's in my list of top games ... I just wish the relationships had more meaning. Working towards a future ending with Katie means a lot less when you can have Katie, Jenna and her mother in the same bed eventually.
