I do love what aggressive girls add to stories like this, because they keep the main love interest on their toes and get them to act a lot sooner than they normally would’ve
I personally hate it because 1, the story itself isn't interesting enough to warrant it.
And 2nd, it's basically half assed. Like, if the author wants a regular relationship, just have it happen... this kinda fan service teasing just feels half assed. Either do it all the way or don't
And since when has having a so called love rival actually made them act sooner??? At most, all it ever does it make them act jealous... like, it speeds up nothing....
The author is just using the harem without a harem trope.... he's basically just having a harem like situation without actually making it a harem.
Teasing the sexiness without actually having it.....
