No one said anything about the girls being virgins, but what is the point of knowing about their past especially sexual past in a game that is meant to be focused on the MC and Also why do we have to hear mention of other guys from different schools, when you specifically made it, so the MC is the only male in the school in this story, people don't want to hear about LIs being fucked by other men period, whether it was in the past or not.

I understand, but I want to clarify that this game does not contain NTR or anything like that. The MC is the only boy in the school, and there are no scenes with other men.
The girls' pasts are mentioned solely to give them context and personality, not to show anything that harms the player. You won't see them having experiences with other boys; you only hear aspects of their story that help you understand what they're like.
The intention is for the focus to always be on the relationship between the player and each girl, without diverting attention to other male characters.
I dont know what was the intention but it is really clear that people that people who play harem games dosent want to heard about past sexual relationships of the girls that they want to date seriously ima gine you like a girl and starts to tell you how she eat a big black cock in detail ewww what a bonet killer
It isnt so hard stop shooting yourself in the foot make MC date and fuck a lot of girls dont make them sluts that tells us their past experiences profit damm.
You're basically shooting yourself in the foot just by mentioning other guys, in a story where you've specifically made it so that the mc is the only male in the story. That's the whole reason for the controversy and why people are calling stuff like this NTR. If not NTR, it's bait and switch. If it was any other AVN, it wouldn't be as controversial, because they don't actively promote their game as having the mc be the only male in the story.
The girls don't have to be virgin, but you don't need to bring up past sexual relationships to know about the personality of the characters. It's just a turn off for people who like harems. No one wants to hear about being sloppy seconds, or whichever number mc is.
Also, I may be wrong in interpretation, but when Sasha is talking about her experience with the guy from the other school, isn't that basically the first time she's done it? You made it sound like she did. The way she was talking, was as if she did it for the first time, by saying the experience was something. And it feels like that was done around the same time she did the thing with MC. Not way in the past. But now in the comments you've said she has had multiple relationships with other men. So which is it?
Look, it's fine that the MC is the only guy, that's good. What's not good is how you've developed the LIs. If you wanted to create a group of LIs who would be unappealing to harem fans, you've nailed it. The childhood friend who posts nude photos online and asks the MC to take pictures of themselves having sex so she can upload them to her account is a wonderful way to waste a LI. The succubus femdom/rape scene is disastrous considering most harem fans hate femdom. And having an LI tell the MC that she needs to eat semen to maintain her human form isn't going to make her appealing (what will happen is that the average fan will ask questions they don't want to ask, and the answer to which is something that doesn't reflect well on said LI).
One recommendation is that it's best to know as little as possible about the LI's sexual past. And fetishes, it's best if they discover them with the MC (as long as the fetish isn't being a porn actress, as is the case with the childhood friend, then it's best not to experiment with it at all).
I actually don't think it's difficult to modify the dialogue to make the LIs more appealing. For example, the succubus could convince the MC to have sex (you could even make her a virgin because, well, a normal succubus isn't going to be very popular with harem fans due to her more than questionable past; removing the possibility of said past by making her a virgin will make her more appealing). As for the one who needs semen to maintain her human form, this only create some umpleasant questions (how has she maintained her human form for years? Guess what you're thinking... Exactly what you're thinking), so it's better to modify this and use something that avoid that scenario. The childhood friend who posts nude photos and wants to use the MC to make porn... there's no solution unless you completely change her story.
