I knew that this one wasn't for me when I found myself hoping that the major villain figure would catch up to the main character and end him. The MC, as presented, comes across as an entitled, arrogant douche who's nowhere nearly as clever as he thinks he is. Every NPC character around him is more interesting and/or more likeable than he is, and why they follow him so readily is inobvious at best. Plus, he's a massive hypocrite: he rips on the Earth stellar government for turning a race of peaceable aliens into sex-slaves, yet he owns one. His excuse? "Well, all the rich Terrans like me own one" and "My parents gave her to me." And yet, when the story quickly moves beyond Earth space, never once does he say "Hey, how about I free you, and you can become regular crew?" Thomas Jefferson much, d-bag? Yeah, yeah, I know, "It's just a fap game" people will say, but it obviously wants to be something a bit more than that as well. This just doesn't work when the main character you're supposed to be playing comes across as such a constantly irredeemable tool.

Seems to me like you may not have played much of the game. Your problem is that the MC doesn't start out perfect but has an actual character arch and growth which is rare in these types of games. That's just odd to me. Not to mention you can kind of pick if he is a dick to people or not even in the early game, so there's that too...
And you other big issue, of him sort of owning a slave while having a problem with it, is literally brought up in the game in the latest update depending on how you play the MC.
I find it ironic.... one might say, hypocritical, to criticize the game for having a character with flaws that has to grow, when removing those flaws turns him into the carbon copy "perfect" MC most "fap games," as you put it, have.
