I honestly find the complaints confusing, I think they likely overcomplicate the system in their mind and so can't see past the dial. Also on that link, I wanted to note that I like the fact that even when the MC is described as a 'selfish bastard', you can choose to be honourable, or even almost abstain from sex in general and focus more on the management. Some games force you into being reprehensible and play it off as normal which I don't enjoy, so I'm glad you basically go "you're a prince so realistically you can do what you want, but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna judge you from my narrator box"
