The harem ending is in the game because people asked for it. Yes, it is an afterthought as I never planned to have it there, but since people kept asking for it, this was the only logical way for me to deal with it. Did nobody ever stop to ask themselves why I often answered "careful what you wish for" when they asked me for a harem ending?
Good on you, chief. Really, I think it's cool that you have a specific vision of what you wanted and I know you're getting some flak, but I encourage you to commit completely with what you envision for
your story. Can't please everyone, and games can have bad endings (bad as in bad consequences in universe, not bad as in poorly written, which this game is most certainly not) not every story has to reward every choice you make, sometimes if you fuck up, you gotta see the consequences. I'm just another jerkoff in this site, though, so take it with grain of salt and all that.
Anyways, cool beans, Belle.
