I have a full review elsewhere but here's a short part addressing a bunch of the concerns-1- the MC is not some random scum who treats the heroines as objects. If you pay attention to his actions and not his words, it turns out he does actually care a lot. The whole reason he wants to treat them as tools and says harsh words is because he doesnt want to one- break his own mentality and two- become so attached that he is unable to go back to earth resulting in heartbreak. He's just tsundere.2- The novel is primarily about these character interactions and relationships. relatively small and satisfying story arcs lead up to the entire story progression. The power and combat exists but isnt the main focus, he uses his ingenuity and tools to beat enemies... till some point randomly the author decides to change that drastically.I think the author did not realize he had gold in his hands with how well the MC is written. putting in a nonsensical twist that changes all that he has built up till that point. Changing the focus to combat randomly as if trying to make a martial arts novel. It makes the novel go from a solid 9 to maybe a 7 or 8 at best.Give it a try for the characters. the heroines all have their own backstory for being so paranoid.
