the mc is a true gentleman. i will not sit idle while you bad mouth this saint. this year i learned, being an mc in a harem manga is pain (i forgot which manga made me feel this way lol). as it was explained it, you are going to hurt the ones who don't win. he cares about all of them. the harem route may not be the most romantic route, but if you were in a situation where you could make all of them happy, why not do it? sure, you can accuse him of having his cake and eating it too, but put yourself in his shoes. do you honestly think being in a relationship with all those women at once would be an easy task? hell, i can't handle one, and I have been with for over a decade now, but when she is in a foul mood everyone suffers. mc has to deal with 5 of them at once. trust me, if you haven't been in a relationship, it's fucking rough dealing with women sometimes. so while some may perceive him a lustful beast, i see the humanity past his drawn eyes. i will see my way out now.
