MC is no different from the typical clueless romcom MC, he knows the heroines feeling, but he doesn't really respond. And when he does eventually, he doesn't set any boundary with other women, this is worse than just being dense, this is being a s*umbag. Either be a clueless mf or be a womaniser, don't act like you're above everyone, the romance is so ass, there is no equality in these relationships. They desperately love him while he occasionally comforts them so they can continue to trap themselves in their own illusion of a relationship.

The kindergarten and middle school act you can look past as being immature romance, but from highschool and on is just toxic, MC becomes the all rounder cardboard that does not express any emotion and free will beside some slight scoffs, he just goes with whatever the heroines want.

The heroines are npcs/accessories that 95% of the time only want to impress MC, none of them can talk back to MC, even if they have a reason to, they just blame it on each other or themselves, this is more than just being submissive, this is straight up insecurity because the author made MC so op

Even if this novel doesn't have the over the top caricatures, it's still a wish fulfillment, the slow and mild plot is both its pros and cons,

Cons: it gets boring when the characters grow up as real life do, but it's also become slightly unrealistic because the author had to drag it out

Pros: easy to enjoy, at its worst it's still better than the average chinese wish fulfillment, no character is outstandingly annoying

The childhood friend heroine is MC's friend back in kindergarten. She was a shy and reserved girl, prone to be taken advantaged of. MC helped her stand for herself. She takes up Taekwondo, which MC helps improve. She is your bonafide childhood friend type character, extremely loves MC.

The next is the tsundere. She becomes close to MC during his elementary school days as the childhood friend had to move cuz family circumstances. She is tsundere through and through. They get close after MC helps her clear her name when she was framed for stealing something. Honestly, I liked how she was set as a disciplinary committee-like member at first, but then she turns into an idol-to-be. She gets into singing and got scouted by a talent agency with MC's help.

The third is a fox vixen (redundant, I know). She befriended the childhood friend after she moved. She's your stereotypical good-looking popular girl, often described as a fox girl due to her fox-like appearance and personality. Due to family circumstances, MC helps her get her own place (they're like 12, right?) and helps her gain income through streaming (she's like 12, right?). She's your friend of a heroine that fall in love with MC because of fate type of character.

They all get together in middle school.

EDIT: LMAO, it gets even funnier when they enter high school. Three new characters gets introduced. MC's childhood engagements. Yes, plural. His gramps made a childhood engagement with his friend. A competitive want-to-be-at-the-top rich girl, same age as MC. However, the original engagement was supposed to be with the rich girl's older sister. With this deliberate setting, you know what will happen. And, the rich girl's friend/servant, whom MC's parents and her parents made a childhood engagement with.

He evolves his charm stat into an ability (Harmony of All Things) that makes him as good as someone who's spent decades on whatever he's doing. Like, literally *whatever* he does, he'll naturally be as good as someone who's spent 3-4 decades on it.

(he instantly has 30 years experience in anything he tries off rip).

(the original three are fine, and adding more is also ok but the original three still haven't been fully told they are in a polyamourous relationship (wenwen knows, but the other two only know they are in a triplot) it makes the MC feel a bit scummy.

This is especially true as they would all agree anyway because he's so addicting likely due to the charisma stat

(time jumps of years where presumably nothing of note happened is insane with the stuff outlined before and after said skips)
