it totally did. once he's past the first few girls he obviously had a plan for it's been mid to shit. but even the pool chapter early on where he presumably did not pre-plan every detail for was the peak in non-introduction plot for the series in my opinion. I was on autopilot for the rest of it until we reached the grandma with sexual experience, and hate read until the drunk whore came where I dropped it for good.
the mc was super grating to the point where I even stopped finding the retarded writing in kanojo mo bad. that one was a great read btw. sadly it seems the subgenre of proper harems could not survive the wave of otonari (foid written) inspired WN romances, where it's back to all the same old garbage shoujo-derived tropes.
continuing on this tangent, the reason why "harems" exist is for the inverse of the angsty losing guy trope in shoujo. the otonari writer had another work that's a great example of this. the losing girl is best girl because she actually tries. the idea is that the main pairing is bound by the red string of fate and the right guy/girl does not have to try.

>it was interesting to see grown adults taking such a ridiculous series seriously, week after week
the implication is that "seriousness" is to be thought of as == grimdark seinen. he found the readers ridiculous and thought he needed to make it the most plotge plotge has ever seen to meet expectations. he made the series into the type of series he thinks deserves what yuragi-sou got.
