Very much like the story so far. You get attached to the girls, the MC is not a dense idiot. I think it is also refreshing that building an harem is not a easy task. The girls don't magically say "yes" the moment you ask them but also they still are slightly open to the idea. It truly feels like the MC is working hard on making things work and when he does have a moment of intimacy with a girl it feels more earned and satisfying. Poor guy can't catch a break though and I hope things will get better for the crew.
Also, the whole concept, with the title and all, seems like we are going to become a paladin and I am very much looking forward to what oauth we shall take. The current setup feels like it would make for an amazing "Oauth of redemption" (D&D 5e) backstory. Of course the name will probably be slightly different, but the idea we are an ex slightly criminal deciding to learn how to forgive and redeem Vlad in particular seems very fun. From someone who had a taste of the dungeon to redeemer is cool.
Also excited to see sweet little Anny get a turn at getting some intimacy, poor girl deserves extra love too :3

We’re really glad you’re enjoying the story! We wanted the MC to break away from the usual harem protagonist trope, the kind with the situational awareness of a brick. 😄 And honestly, a harem is such a rich source of drama and storytelling, so it’s a shame most harem games just stop once the harem is formed…
Also, don’t worry, she’ll be getting some loving in the next episode. 😉
