Before his image change, the protagonist doesn't stand out and was rather gloomy. After his image change he became handsome. He is smart and next CEO of a famous pharmaceutical company. His father died in an accident, his mother is the current CEO. His dream is to follow his father's step and develop a panacea to cure all illness. He also wondered what would have happened if his father was sick instead of dying in a accident.

Actually those heroines aren't really in love with the original MC and of course they aren't dating. This is as if the original MC crushed all the event flags before it was raised. Only thing that bothers me is how open those heroines (and classmates excluding the original mc) are with protagonist's harem.

The first heroine, original mc's soccer club manager : Actually this is a misunderstanding, she was interested into another player.

The second heroine, student council president : She was interested into original MC but it wasn't love.

The third heroine, original mc's classmate from middle school : She doesn't know love so she tried to fall in love with her deskmate because her father mentioned that a maiden in love is more beautiful. She wants to appear beautiful, cute, pretty before her sick father. Her arc hit me the most since it was somehow linked to the protagonist's dream and rather moving. Her father is sick, incurable illness. However the protagonist's late father research will help her.

The fourth heroine, original mc's childhood friend : Because her father's business failed, her parents doesn't get along well, she was somehow become a thorn in their family. Original mc's mom decided to lend them money, in exchange their daughter will come to original mc's house. The female lead thought she was sold by her parents but actually it was all a misunderstanding. Original mc's mom hoped that their house can become a place where she can return to.

Original MC didn't know anything and thought she came here everyday at her own will.

The original MC keep choosing bad choices until the end, at least he have a good buddy... All heroines admit they love our protagonist. Likewise, our protagonist asked them all to become his girlfriends and they accepted.

I'm kinda not a fan of how controlled the MC actions were as it made him feel artificial. I know that's part of the story of it being a dating sim or him being a npc becoming self aware, but it felt like the MC had no will. It also didn't feel satisfying with how it ended with the MC stealing the girls. Perhaps because the story is too short with not enough character buildup, but I actually felt sorry for Tendou. The MC didn't come off likable to me and Tendou wasn't a bad of enough person so when he lost the girls to the MC, I actually felt sorry for the dude.

It's honestly eerie how the harem feels so much worse and artificial than the more natural end for our MC when he ends up with Akane in the final extras. It's amusing how there's so many bigger than life characters in our MC's family. Wonder if that was intentionally made from the in universe devs to justify things.

The story seems so fast that it seems artificial for some. It does well however to portray how it os easy to cuck anyone if the rule is dictated by galges and shits... You could understand that them accepting the harem is uncalled for since the first two agreed for some reason.

My only qualm is that there's not much character on the heroines and were not balanced between the first two and the final two in terms of story... I could see that since the last two are very much rooted to the Protagonist before MC stole them.

Still angry though that Akane didn't have the green light as his wife though and the what if of Protagonist having a harem is uncalled, albeit funny.

Imagine the matrix 3

It's pretty much an alternative route of a galgame it seems, the bad route for the normal MC which is actually a True Harem End route for another hidden character and we see it all from the latter viewpoint.

I have mixed feelings about that, as this mean the characters are programmed to do this and that and both Jimichi and Tendou were made to act and do things based on outsiders' input, just because if I'm not wrong a developer wanted a NTR harem ending...? Uh. I mean, there was already a harem route, so he definitely wanted a NTR one right?

I also am not a fan of this 'worldview' as in the end it means the heroine can be saved by either MC depending on the 'player's choices, it almost makes me feel that everything Jimichi did is irrelevant as Tendou could have really been in his shoes. Or rather, I can't quite explain it well, but it makes me feel as if all of it is really 'artificial', especially the heroine's 'fates' which makes me feel really uncomfortable.

I guess I should applaud author for making me feel so conflicted over the setting. I believe I just am not good with messing with 'free will'. And this absolutely feel they're all 'programmed' to behave in certain ways or, heck, the world itself, as in 'fate', is 'programmed' to change according to these choices.
