Ah, that’s a shame. Seems like they cut corners, which isn’t uncommon with these things.
Regarding the harem elements, in the source material the girls do gush over him a lot as well, but he does not reciprocate at all, so I just ended up automatically filtering it out because it’s inconsequential, but I do get how some might find their eternal subservience off-putting, especially since with anime it’s harder to brush that aside VS words in a novel.
I just found the series interesting when looking at the broader main plot, which thankfully is the majority of the focus after a certain point. I do also remember the girls being a tad more annoying early on, but once the focus shifts more to politics and all the factions involved, the harem antics get dialed down a lot to make room for it.
