Not really, and not likely unless it's by a villain who the MC and his party then kill or otherwise defeat, rescuing the victim from that person. (removed the rest of this, as it's no longer accurate; also, leaving this answer present because it was true at the time)
(Edit 2) Some, but minor and fully consensual (at least one character likes to be tied up, so the MC does so for her).
This game isn't a harem game its a poly relationship game as harem the mc is the only one the harem members focus on poly is where the harem members can have sex with each other and since t5he dev made a les coupe that falls into the poly relationship. devs need to understand the meaning between the 2 types.
This is not accurate to the game as portrayed so far. Far too much attention has been placed in these comments on a few of the girls having some interest in other girls, and Vander's mention of a single pre-existing relationship that will continue once inside the harem.
I'll reiterate what
mrttao said so accurately above:
* This is not a cuck-adjacent game.
* This MC is one of the most alpha chad MCs you will see in a game.
* Trust me here, if you like harem and hate NTR, then just download and play the game.
And to support mrttao's comment about the concerns being based on the assumption of a limited cast, I agree completely. People may be assuming we're looking at a "six or seven LI harem" type game, which we are not.
At present (
U10b post-U19d), the game includes:
20 members of the harem who have already had sex with the MC:
* 4 wives:
Karla,
Avila,
Arwen (elf princess),
Ailah (Arwen's bonded servant)
* 1 special-case concubine (due to political issues with a marriage):
Sarah (Princess)
* 3 free concubines (non-slave commoners who cannot marry the noble MC):
Monica,
Naesala,
Lia (guard)
* 12 concubines (maids, servants, slaves, or household members of MC/Athagan or of
Queen Sariel):
Aoife (MC personal maid),
Anne (maid in baths),
Milla (other maid from baths, who was with Monica there),
Martha (Athagan's personal maid),
Latia (cook),
Celeste (Karla's personal maid),
Estrid (bratty/masochistic Northerner maid),
Aline (red-haired maid),
Deborah (Queen Sariel's intendant),
Senna (Sariel household maid, part nymph),
Samara (Sariel household maid and Miriella's half-sister),
Faraah (Sariel household head maid and Senna's half-nymph mother)
1 member of the harem who has not yet had sex with the MC:
* 1 free concubine (see above for definition):
Cinthia
32-36 additional prospective harem members of varying degrees of confidence:
* 1 prospective wife who has actively expressed interest:
Helen (Ishtar priestess with fully-formed ward)
* 5 prospective concubines who have actively expressed interest:
Miriella (Avila's friend with the abusive father),
Suter (guard captain),
Helissent (guard who speaks Elvish),
Zarah (guard who saw the MC naked when patrolling the castle at night),
Amelia (orphan who agreed to work for Karla to earn the right to be MC's woman)
* 1 prospective concubine who has been mentioned but not seen:
Ellie (Roger and Sonya's daughter)
* 2 close allies who will almost definitely be joining the harem eventually:
Kes,
Erika
* 1 person who appears theoretically unlikely but we have assurances that there will be story reasons to change this:
Liliana (Athagan's wife/Avila's mother)
* 1 person who is likely farther in the future:
Sariel (the queen)
* 8 additional household maid who will almost definitely end up joining:
Amel (the Southern Isles maid),
Margaret (hairdresser maid),
Rei (Sariel household maid with glasses the MC expressed interest in),
5 other unnamed maids in Queen Sariel's household
* 2 priestesses of Ishtar who have expressed interest
Sirina (black ponytail priestess), and
Joan (short black hair priestess), the latter two of whom expressed admiration for the MC during his ritual with Aoife. The availability of these two becomes somewhat complicated currently, for story reasons.
* Up to 7 elves potentially:
Calarel (Arwen sister),
Kethryllia (Arwen/Ailah aide/servant/wet nurse),
Sitra (Helissent elf friend), at least four other unnamed elven villagers
* 8 people who as players we know will probably join despite not a lot of lead-up so far:
Laura (Monica's mother),
Linette (Miriella's slave),
Adah (huntress from Glenval),
Vivian (the big woodcutter lady met during the festival who expressed some interest; Vander wasn't sure she'd find an appreciative audience, but we all love her, heh),
Jebelle (weaponsmith, Asambé's little sister),
Dorcas and Ethel (half-elf merchant saved by the party and her mute lesbian lover),
Biggs (skyship Caroline coxswain, expressed interest in MC)
(entries below are not included in the totals above)
* up to 16 other potential people but who haven't had any obvious signs of interest one way or the other but are likely just given the model styles, lack of jewelry, and story presence so far:
Julia (the intendant),
Nenha (the intendant's former assistant/now-slave),
Alyah (the collared criminal woman who can't be transferred away from the MC),
Dazmorah (Kes' dwarf friend),
Selana (healer priestess of Marduk),
Jess (the town cryer),
Ness (Monica's friend, selling bread/cheese/wine at the festival),
Lena (pretty white-haired fisticuffs contestant),
Lisa (random patron of Monica's bar/masseuse),
Gertrud (Sariel's bodyguard),
Grizella (the Witch in Glenval),
Thefana (worker at the orphanage),
Linyeve (Marduk priestess with the long platinum braid),
Lea (Seldorm horsemistress, Naesala friend),
Lisbeth (skyship Caroline captain),
Lillion (Karla's magic mentor)
* up to 11 other named people who are less likely due to various factors:
Solah (high priestess of Andolisa, runs the orphanage, is older),
Ellen (woodcutter, strength contest contestant, is forgettable),
Laudna (archery contestant, unpleasant personality/sore loser),
Rosamund (woman who lost her daughter to the Wasting),
Rakia (fisticuffs contestant, little development),
Servila (fisticuffs contestant, little development),
Serena (riding contestant for Swanford),
Otaa (riding contestant for Honshu/the Emperor, tried to cheat to beat Naesala),
Darwa (elf queen, Arwen/Calarel mother, antagonist),
Galadrael (elf Council Elder, druid lady),
Isault (bald high priestess of Ishtar in Lord Capon's village, which is a shame, she's hot despite being bald)
* at least 8 unnamed people who have unique models and show no sign of claiming, making them potentially able to be fleshed out and join later on, or who have other potential plot relevance:
3 of the 4 musicians at MC/Avila wedding,
the Sailor and Lieutnant on the skyship Caroline who show up a few times during the trip,
the two Sisters of Mayhem,
the owner of the Seldorm stewhall with the great dress
* at least 10 mentioned but not shown people who might or might not be, depending entirely on how the story goes and what their existing status currently is, which we don't know yet:
Mab (fae tracker who owes Athagan a favor, hunting Eloise),
Aeris (the Bear of Seldorm , Cinthia's opponent),
Selma (Seldorm blacksmith),
Saida (a friend of Arwen's),
Kantor's unnamed younger sister (who Simon/Eloise had forced to become engaged to Simon's cousin), and 2+ unnamed
"sisters" of Karla (they were mentioned, but the number and their ages/marital statuses were not), 3+ unnamed
daughters of Roger and his wives (not including Ellie shown above, or Celia, Beth, Ravna, or Clothilde mentioned below; Roger has at least 8 daughters)
* any number of people Vander will be adding in the future that we haven't met yet.
So. There are 21 confirmed harem members currently. Conservatively, there are at least
43 harem members if we only take the existing + definite future members. If we expand into the maybes, we're looking at anywhere from
56-102 harem members, and that's with absolutely zero other newly-added characters being members (which, from the evidence, is unlikely). The real number is likely going to be somewhere in the middle between those two extremes.
(Original: 19 existing+definite future, 35 with maybes)
(Edit 1: 31 existing+definite future, 48-60 with maybes)
As an FYI, named women introduced who are
NOT going to be harem members:
* Anyone underage:
Maria (MC/Karla daughter), Miyuki (orphan), Peregrine (orphan), Flavia (mentioned orphan), Solange (Lia daughter), possibly Kate (orphan)
* Asambé's wives:
Adele, Darlene, Zibu
* Eloise:
Sariel's disowned older daughter, who is a straight-up antagonist with too much blood on her hands
* Sabrina:
riding contestant for Seldorm and the Queen, wearing jewelry
* Cecilia:
Lord Capon's personal maid, elf, wearing jewelry so likely Lord Capon's woman
* Sonya:
Roger's 1st wife (which is a little bit of a shame, she's awesome, but the reasons why are also acceptable, heh)
* Some of Roger's daughters:
Celia is married, Beth didn't seem likely to Roger/Sonya, Ravna is pursuing a muscular paladin, Clothilde is too dominant for a man like MC
* Eleanora:
MC family friend currently living in Seldorm slums - stated by dev in this thread to be more of a mother figure to the MC than a love interest
