The male:female ratio (1:5) is nothing too crazy, girls are more interested in boys than usual but they're not permanently h**ny (except for maybe one of the heroines), some other novels with this premise just go totally overboard and hurr durr im so thirsty I want ze c0ck I wanna bang MC (then I read them shitass novels anyway lol)
Masato, our boi the MC, is a college boi who likes basketball. He works part-time at a host club that his adoptive mother/guardian owns (he was an orphan) and also works part-time as a tutor. You know the drill, generally kind and helpful to women unlike other guys in this world plus some other cliches
The best part of this novel is the heroines. One office lady (OL), two college girls (JD), one high school girl (JK), and one middle school girl (JC). An overworked OL venting her work frustations to her dedicated host, a childhood friend JD, a genki girl JD looking for the owner of the handkerchief who helped her out a la the prince in cinderella, a closet pe*vert JK pretending to be a literary girl with a hilarious group of friends who keep making fun of her about her delusions for her tutor, and a basketball-playing JC who's getting bullied by her senpais in the team cuz she's so good at it and got picked as a starter. While spending time with the MC they all change in some manner, though not all in a good way,
Spoiler
I remember the few chills down my spine I got while reading OL's chapters as her rationality slowly gets destroyed. After hanging out with her coworker she accidentally stumbles upon MC going home and she stalks him and notes his address while feeling guilty, she gets reality checked by her friends for getting half of her monthly salary s**ked off by MC since they say he is just acting his part as a host, she gets forced to work overtime so she's late to the host club that the MC gets nominated by a different girl (it's the genki girl twintail JD who was looking for her benefactor), she gets more dependent on the MC and she slowly devolves into an obsessed yandere stalker with really concerning thoughts, legit got me going "yikes", I won't spoil how her situation is resolved when she acts on her desires but it is very satisfying
The JK awakens a voyeurism/cuckolding (?) fetish from seeing MC getting assaulted (?) in the bushes during a festival
[collapse]
Main heroine status belongs to the JC btw (her later chapters are just so good compared to the other girls, fite me irl)
