First time I've left a comment on a game I think but this is definitely a gem. With so many games out there, it can be difficult trying to find ones that really stand out and for me this one was the case.
I really enjoy the dynamic how well written both the MC and all the girls are. The dynamic between them is great, and I think the pacing is fantastic. Not too quick, but not so slow that it feels dull. Just enough time to develop the characters and move on. I also like the start with the focus on just Lucy, and then adding more and more while picking up pace.
In terms of complaints it's hard to find any that really stood out. I guess a future worry in terms of plot would be too much of a push into politics, and I hope if there are any "tragic" scenes (for lack of a better word) with drama between the harem and the MC it's wrapped up relatively quickly while not spreading out over multiple plotlines. Using Akatsuki as an example, that was wrapped up pretty quickly and you didn't have to worry about a ton of text in between, making it less likely for players that like the character to try to skip through. Other games definitely have this issue.
All in all, thanks for the fantastic read and looking forward to more.
