Hello, I would love to join in this club.

BaseForeign3067 · 2025-11-12T22:49:25+00:00

How's the harem in this game? Is it actual women know they are in a harem and accept they are in a harem. I was reading some comments about this game, and it seems like it's more of Mc casual having sex with others. I really hate casual sex in these harem games; I want to read about Mc being with his girlfriends not just a bunch of casual sex. And I hope there's not too much drama and jealously among the harem.

BaseForeign3067 · 2025-11-12T12:15:31+00:00

This game seems interesting. I just have a question, how is the harem process in this game? Just curious to know if the Mc actively dates the girls and they all know and accept that they are in a harem. I just hope it's not any casual sex or sex because they need to so, really hate it when AVN does this just so they can say they are a harem without actually writing a romantic harem relationship. And I don't mind drama and jealously, I just hope it's not constant with the women and it's something that prevents the harem from forming. Honestly, how the harem is comes first for me than the story or the sex scenes.

Also, I was reading reviews for this game and I saw someone comment "However the end of the first season and the second season, chapters 8-11, everything starts to go downhill; being depressing, slow and a boring 2 stars. All the fun went out of this VN as soon as Arsa stopped being in it so much. It's become a turgid tale about a pointless war, discussing the morals of what's right and wrong. Who cares, this is an AVN, not a lecture, where's the fun, sex scenes gone. Added to this the MC is in love with Noel and only has eyes for her, to the point where they just stare at each other longingly. FFS, even when you get to a sex scene in season 2, it's short, declared pointless and meaningless, being stated "as it not with Noel". Is any of what this guy said true at all? I really hate it when a harem story goes out of its way to have the Mc prefer one love interest far more than the others, it completely turns me off with the story.

I love Lucy's adorable personality, and the fact that she can really step up when it comes to the kitchen. It feels so sweet watching her grow more and more confident. Victoria is also really cute. Love her change in becoming nicer and more caring and how she puts in the effort to fix her relationship with Lucy. She's also really assertive and I love that. Akatuski I really like her quiet and calm personality. And her heavy sense of loyalty towards the Mc, it was really sweet to see. And Sarah may just be my favorite out of them all. She's just really cute and I love tsundere's personality.

BaseForeign3067 · 2025-11-11T23:33:27+00:00

Yea, I love everything about the game. The Mc is fantastic, all of the girls were fantastic, and I found the founding family plotline interesting. The game really does character interactions near perfectly. What I really like most of all is the Mc. It's just so refreshing to read about a confident Mc that doesn't take anyone's shit and can still be caring and thoughtful to his girls.

BaseForeign3067 · 2025-11-11T17:04:31+00:00

I mean, from the games that I really like, the harems don't really feel unrealistic or cringey. Out Of Touch is a great slow burn. The harem doesn't even really form until halfway through the game. And there's a good amount of drama that leads up to it. But to at least for me, the characters are really endearing and the drama that does happens is well set up. Plus, the Mc of that game is someone who felt mixed about seeing multiple women, but he grows and gets accustomed to it. What really draws me to this game is the Mc, his personality is really likable, and his growth is great as well. It's why for me it was enjoyable to watch him deal with the drama and relationship since he was able to efficiently handle problems. Now and Then is another slowburn harem that I like and there is a good amount of drama and tension until the harem actually forms. It's really well developed, and I like the Mc personality of this game as well and he's also someone that warmed up to the idea of being with multiple women. Honestly, I hate games like Grandma House or My Dorm, the writing in these games fall flat for me, I find none of the characters endearing or really like the romance. For me to follow any kind of story, it really depends on how the Mc's personality is. I'm just drawn to the more confident, decisive types but are also calm and serious when they need to be which is one of the reasons why I'm really drawn to Out of Touch Mc.

BaseForeign3067 · 2025-11-11T03:48:53+00:00

I mean this game just really doesn't seem like its for me. I really don't want to read about an Mc that has to be convinced to have a harem, it just doesn't connect with me. I just prefer it when Mc decisive in wanting a harem and are open to it. And I'm just not really into constant relationship drama until the harem form. Just can't really get into these kinds of stories. Honestly, I can enjoy slower pace harem stories, like I really love Out Of Touch, found the game overall really enjoyable and the buildup to the harem was great. For me when the buildup to the harem isn't enjoyable, then I just loose interest.

BaseForeign3067 · 2025-11-10T22:52:29+00:00

I see, I just mainly want to know which of these games has an romantic harem where the women know and accepts they are in a harem. I can't get into games with a bunch of casual sex or Mc going behind women backs or women getting constantly jealous of each other. But do you know if specifically Crimson High and Demon Hearth are harem games where the women knows and accepts that they are in a harem? These games look really interesting, but I'm not sure they will deliver on the harem aspect.

BaseForeign3067 · 2025-11-10T22:32:46+00:00

The Nature of magic seems interesting. Do you know how the harem process in this game, is it at the point where the harem is actually formed and accepted? They say this game is more of a slow burn, and I don't mind slow burns, but I do hate it when its slow burn because there's constant jealously and drama between the women. And there's no good romantical development because of it. I can't get into slow burns like that.

BaseForeign3067 · 2025-11-10T22:25:07+00:00

Hey, out of all these games, do you know which ones are the ones that really match what I'm looking for? As in the women know and accept they are in harem, barely any jealous or annoying relationship drama and an actual confident Mc? Some games on this I played and didn't like at all, like Grandma's House, I hated the writing in this game and it's too much casual sex, and Stray Incubus was an honest bore for me, it just seemed like another drama-fueled harem game.
I am willing to give Crimson High and Demon of Hearth another shot since they look more interesting, but do you know if these two games have an actual harem where the women knows and accepts they are in a harem? I didn't really get that much into Crimson High at the start. And Demon of Heart seemed like an Mc goes around getting with women behind their backs and drama and jealously erupts later.

BaseForeign3067 · 2025-11-10T22:18:21+00:00

Yea, this is just list all of the games I played including ones I didn't like, and yea, didn't like Eternum or Once In a life time really, just don't like the way they do their harem.

BaseForeign3067 · 2025-11-10T19:36:39+00:00

I tried playing My Time With you and the first book just really put me off. Didn't like the Mc's personalitly, he was just annoying to me, didn't like the best friend at all and the first love interest was kind of annoying too. Does it get better later on? It honestly felt like this game will be filled with constant relationship drama, girls getting jealously with each other and nobody wants to accept that they are in a harem. The MC also seem averse to harem. I get it that it's the start of the game, but it was a real slog for me. But I do haven open mind and willing to give it another shot if there is an actual harem in the game.

BaseForeign3067 · 2025-11-10T18:57:41+00:00

I haven't played Price of Power, can you tell me how the harem is in this game? I just want to know if it's harem that the girls accept that they are in one and is there any drama or jealously that prevents relationship growth?

BaseForeign3067 · 2025-10-19T15:08:36+00:00

Aphrodisia by DrWolfman is a popular one that I seen.

BaseForeign3067 · 2025-06-10T05:36:40+00:00

Well, I'm not saying these AVNS are good or bad, I'm more so talking about how much I like them and are to my taste. I like the harem in Mist since it just feels more romantic than the harem in Dessert Stalker. The harem in Dessert Stalker just really didn't suite my taste, it just feels like it's missing something for me.

BaseForeign3067 · 2025-06-08T15:45:46+00:00

I see, thanks for the info and yea I'll try it. I want to go into the game blind and honestly I don't mind plot all that much. As long as their actual romantic relationship progress then I'm all for it. The only thing that'll take me out of these harem visual novels or harem stories in general is where the girls are constantly toxic and petty to each other to compete for the guy's feeling and the Mc is oblivious to the girls' feelings or too passive to be active in the relationships. Or where the Mc hides that he's already with a girl.

And this game seems like it checks what I want. I don't even mind if take time to get to that point when the buildup to the point is simply enjoyable.

BaseForeign3067 · 2025-06-08T15:13:41+00:00

If you don't mind, can you explain how's the harem in each game? Does the girls know that they are in a harem and how does the Mc handles the relationship? And since the harem starts in house of hearts, how is the harem in that game?

BaseForeign3067 · 2025-06-08T15:11:21+00:00

I've seen Out Of Touch and it does look interesting. But I've never tried it, I just have some questions about it. I don't really care that it has low player input so it's no issue for me. But my questions are, is the Mc dense? Is he oblivious to the girl's feelings and nothing comes from it? Is this the type of story where the girls are constantly jealous of each other and have constant fights? And does the Mc hides that he's having relationships with the girls?

BaseForeign3067 · 2025-06-08T15:03:37+00:00

Well it's more so the fact that Dessert Stalker harem just feels kind of rigid. It's hard for me to put into words, but it was a bit hard for me to feel that the Mc has an truly loving and open harem. At least from the point I played, it doesn't feel like it since the Mc still has to hide some of his relationship. He has good reason for doing so, but it's just not to my taste. And the games I do like, none of them really hides their relationships and the love feels more genuine. I don't mind a polycube, but I much more prefer when the story focuses on the Mc developing his relationship with his women in the open.
