This was really funny the first few dozen chapters, but having too many mainstay characters is a flawed concept in so many ways. There's simply not enough time for every single one and no one would want to get in-depth about each of them in the first place with how boring that'd be. The more are introduced and needs to be kept relevant somehow, the more the story gets spread thin.
This happens even in normal harem stories with 3-5 girls, but at least then it's manageable. But with this many, it's not even slightly manageable anymore without turning it into some kind of episodic manga where they just throw random ideas in there for the weekly episode, every girl at best gets scraps of story, they barely even show their faces, this gets more frustrating when you have some characters you like far more than others. We'd need a ton of chapters just for each to get a single chapter to themselves, so that will not really happen and it'll just be a hodgepodge mess.
I still find it a bit amusing to read, but it's definitely starting to feel like the story has no value at all anymore, it's just a matter of rinse and repeat, even down to making the new girls do exactly the same thing as the old ones, just slightly edited to fit the new personalities.
I really believe that the author bit off far more than they could chew. "The 10 girlfriends who really really really really really love you" would've been difficult already but at least manageable, hell, maybe even 20 would be barely ok. At least then we could've avoided the main point of each and every volume being introducing about 2 new girls, where it's all about integrating them into the group somehow in the limited time we have. It's so repetitive that you just know exactly what'll happen and exactly what kind of chapter to expect. We always know that after a girl is introduced, he will need to somehow charm them by being nice and trying to pander to their interests, then they need to get together, then he needs to introduce them to the group on the rooftop and then they need to do some weird activity usually related to the new girlfriend's main quirk. This happens every single time without fail. Then the few pages leftover we might get some small date or mini-event on the side of whatever character the author fancies to write about at the moment.
Since there's no time to develop the characters either, they all act exactly according to the initial setting/stereotype and we know exactly what they'll say/do, so the comedy is also pretty much gone after so many chapters, it's not really funny if we know exactly how they'll react and what they'll do, especially not now when everyone around him has accepted the abnormal as normal and no longer react in funny ways, not even the new characters tend to be surprised, they just accept everything because the author doesn't have the time/pages to spend on writing proper reactions or think up jokes.
It's basically creatively dead at this point.
Doesn't help that the translators take far too many liberties in completely re-writing some characters, like coming up with non-existent translations such as translating "nanoda" as yeppers or yep yep or "nanojya" as "yes yes", which is annoying on its own but then there are characters who speak in broken english which is "translated" into real but completely broken american racist stereotype english or the new half-british girl who gets translated to speak like british stereotype gutter trash even though she actually speaks in japanese with a certain dialect (although a bit random and unintelligible at times), they just feel it's ok to completely change a character instead of translating it more accurately, they believe they're funny or something. Good translation otherwise, but I've never seen a group this bad at liberal translation, they just ruin several characters because they think it'd be funny or fit the character. Re-writing the dialogue and making it hard to understand isn't the same as liberal translation, but they don't seem to agree.
But, yeah, the first few dozen chapters are great fun. Then, for some reason, it just gets less and less fun, the jokes are the same every time and the characters no longer react to abnormal stuff as they think it's now ok to get new girlfriends like he's playing pokemon and it feels like the author just tries to get the whole "new girlfriend" bit over quickly without using pages on funny reactions. Sure, I get that the author has driven themselves into a corner and need to introduce 2 new girlfriends at least every volume and even then it'll take forever, so they don't want to waste time or effort every single time, but it just feels dull when everyone's simply going with the flow and every chapter's the same as the one before it...
I don't really know, I recommend it as a leisurely read and some comedy but I feel like 7/10 is the limit of the score it deserves and if this was a more accurate scoring system where 5/10 doesn't mean trash but average, it'd be lower than that. It's a decent read to waste time, but don't expect too much. There aren't any particularly offensive parts (except the "creative liberties" of the translator), but it's sadly also nothing special or particularly funny/interesting.
It's just an episodic light-hearted fluff gag comedy manga that likes breaking the fourth wall. If it did better on the comedy front, it'd maybe be a 9/10 or 10/10. Just read it for what it is if you like this kind of stuff.
Oh, a pro tip is to skip chapters you don't feel like reading. Like if you don't feel interested in the mini-story or don't like the characters, just skip the chapter. You'll miss absolutely nothing, it doesn't matter at all for the story if you skip anything. I guess the only ones you don't really want to skip are when new girls are introduced, but other than that, no side stories actually add anything to the story or truly develop the characters beyond that particular chapter.
