The initial premise of this story as a fun and unique harem quickly took a disappointing turn. It devolved into a narrative with four different protagonists, where the focus predominantly shifted to the MC, a shota character, and an ugly bastard character who monopolized all the sexual scenes. It became increasingly absurd, leaving me at a loss for words as the plot took a nosedive. Even when the focus returned to the MC, the shota character always seemed to have a role in the sexual encounters. And then, for some inexplicable reason, the ugly bastard character resurfaced, reclaiming all the sex scenes once again.

It's frustrating because this excessive focus on explicit encounters hinders the MC from having his own moments, as if the plot actively prevents him from experiencing intimacy. Instead, the ugly bastard character takes his place, and the shota character seems to cater solely to a specific fanbase. In the end, what was touted as a "harem" turns out to be another typical Japanese cuckold protagonist story, falling far from the initial expectations.
