The only choice the game will never offer, at least at this point of the story, is to outright banish a character just because you don't like them or trust them. They are all integral to the plot.
While I figured that would be the case considering they all have been assigned to the team to work together, it's to good to have confirmation as well. Thank you.

And finally, I don't think any of the rejections so far have been unreasonable to the LIs. They understand the timing and context might not be right, but they still try one way or another for their own reasons.
If I may provide some feedback here- While you are not wrong as most choices do give you wiggle room, the nuance felt less evident from the player's perspective when interacting with Lana in her room the first time she tries to kiss you. At least it was for me as terms like "reject her" seem strong for the intent of "nothing is final yet". Perhaps reevaluate the term? While I do like Lana, her possessive nature, and the fact that she is not beyond taking extreme measures like suicide, does give me pause about the implications of choices made in her context.

Generally speaking, the fact that the girls keep coming on to you, some far more than others, for reasons that are obscured to the MC, does feel that some sort of urgency is at play here. Thankfully the game handles the pivotal choices gently, so those who are here for the AVN can dive into action right away, and then those who are here more for the VN aspect, can make more informed decisions down the line.

On a personal note, just finished it and, all in all, a pleasant read. Things do slow down in some places, but never enough for me to hit the Ctrl button. MC is fairly likable as well, though it does seem that he breaks character sometimes. Going from a brooding loner to a playful entity for a while, but never in a glaring way, which I feel plays well into his past and present self. Like he has changed, but his old personality is still somewhere in there.

Will keep tabs on this one, though with the pace as is, guess I'll revisit it in 2027 or so? So many good VNs take a while to materialize to conclusion :(

You're not locked out of a route for rejecting them any point until the "point of no return", and that's still a long way to go. The purpose of these choices is for players to be able to pursue them, or not, at the moment they feel is right. The scenes are very deliberately grey in terms of "romance". Are you pursuing them because you just want to bed them now? Are you doing it because of the mission? Or you're doing it because you want to romantically?

The only choice the game will never offer, at least at this point of the story, is to outright banish a character just because you don't like them or trust them. They are all integral to the plot. if you reject their advances, it doesn't mean they are gone, and the chances to try again later also isn't gone forever.

And finally, I don't think any of the rejections so far have been unreasonable to the LIs. They understand the timing and context might not be right, but they still try one way or another for their own reasons. You're not going to lock them out for rejecting/delaying them, for now.
After having this game on my radar for a couple years now, finally decided it was time to give it a play and I enjoyed it immensely. I do feel like some of the characters really stretch the limits of my patience, particularly since It seems like the ones listed in the codex do not seem like the main LIs I assumed they would be.

The June/Dizzy/Rose red herring reveal... Miri going off on her own playing lone wolf with her own mission, Safiya and Aria and that weird romantic subtext they seemingly have going on between them (for shame not having a single redhead as a proper LI!), at least I can understand Lana, Blanche and to a lesser extent, Elise's motivations and their own ulterior motives. I do wish Hilde and Mary were added to the codex dossier as well, but since they aren't, I presume there are no more girls being considered as a possible LI at a later time?

Lastly, while I appreciate this is tagged as a harem, I do find it odd just how this harem will work. It appears as if most of the girls are looking for an exclusive relationship and not really open or interested in sharing the MC between them... and don't even get me started on what's the dynamic supposed to be with the MC and Safiya as long as Aria is in the picture. Anyway, just wanted to say I enjoyed this, and look forward to seeing the rest of the story play out!

I think the usual harem you can expect from Anime/AVN/Eroge would undermine the type and tone of the story, but harem can also open up different kind of possibilities for something like CoMS. As you advance with the story you can see how things unfold one after another. The same will happen with the harem aspect.

And I don't see the appeal of a harem if the MC don't have to earn it, the LIs just all predisposed to accept it, and there aren't any conflict involved in the whole affair.

I agree with the sentiment about having the MC be the recipient of an unearned harem, and I do look forward to seeing how those potential relationships will progress with each LI. In regards to my previous comment, I was just curious as to whether this will be the kind of harem where we date as many possible LIs we want simultaneously before just picking one girl to end up with or if there was going to be a potential path where the MC can end up with more than one LI? Or even all of them?

A harem ending is the intention. I think if you have to choose one or various combinations, it isn't really fulfilling harem.

Does that mean we can't play a solo or throuple or however many path? We have to take them all in a harem?

I could be remembering wrong, but I thought you said earlier that we would have choices as to who was in the harem and who wasn't. :unsure:

Harem ending isn't the only ending. There will be Solos and throuple, just not any combination.

Oh cool. Thanks for clarifying. (y)

You can go for harem (but you have to take them all), or go for solos or throuples (that you will choose). I'm guessing it will become clearer as we go along, which girls will be open to throuples with whoever and who will not. :)

That all works for me and makes it easier for you than having to make optional paths for all player choice possibilities. :)

Yeah The MC has properly conquer them to establish the harem. As of now all of their priorities lie elsewhere.

We have a few good answers in this update (June/Rose, Mc's secret), but the mystery surrounding Rose is still not fully explained and I have even more questions now.

Hilde is my favorite, I don't know why, maybe because she didn't fall in love with Mc at first sight.Compared to other girls, Hilde seems to be harder to get, which makes her more attractive.
Hilde and Rose have good potential for throuple.:love:

I think girls seeing each other as rivals, jealousy, petty bickering makes them more realistic.

When Mc and Rose first met, Mc was nothing. I think they intervened in many aspects of Mc's life to make him what he is now. There seems to be a third group behind the plans for Mc. Rose is an agent of this third group (She's a double agent who's now infiltrated the rebels).I think Rose's fake death was planned to deceive both empire and rebels.

Despite all this, I don't have any meaningful thoughts on why Mc was chosen. Maybe it has something to do with his family, I don't know.o_O

I agree completely, I love Hilde and was immediately attracted to her, and her indifference to the MC was surprisingly refreshing compared to the rest of the ladies. I would be disappointed if there is not a path for her at some point, even if it's not as part of the harem... but a Hilde/Rose throuple would be a path I would definitely play... along with the actual harem.

On a related note, the only girls I'm having a hard time connecting with is Mireille (who hasn't exactly done anything to make me trust her) and Blanche, who I find sweet in a sis/childhood friend kind of way, especially as she continues pushing away the MC for Lana's sake despite her own possible feelings she is fighting against. Also, I absolutely love her going back to her old/new hair style.. hated that mess she had on the top of her head when we first meet her.

There seems to be a third group behind the plans for Mc. Rose is an agent of this third group (She's a double agent who's now infiltrated the rebels).I think Rose's fake death was planned to deceive both empire and rebels.
Interesting, I admit the thought hadn't come to me that Dizzy/Rose was a double agent, but now that you mention it, it seems a distinct possibility after what Hilde shared with us about Rose's past.

They may be unpopular choices, but Mirielle along with Aria are becoming my favorites, too bad this last one doesn't appear to be a LI hopefully she still gets some scenes even if it's with Safiya...

Considering there is a planned lesbian tag, I'd wager that a Safiya-Aria lewd scene is all but a guarantee at this point. I can't see Aria being a LI in any way to the MC, and barely see one where Safiya is one either... unless it's for purely political reasons. In the few scenes we've gotten with her and the MC, they show absolutely no chemistry at all. If anything she is way more attached to her Aria.
