Toaru is one of those unfortunate cases where it's a 2000s LN designed for the ultra-purity-faggots who view the MC as a rival for their waifus and the waifus have to be kept pure so they can fantasize deflowering them themselves. In the 2010s the audience changed thanks to the isekai revolution, becoming more open toward LN protagonists having sex with the girls, but with Toaru the publishers don't want to risk alienating their initial fanbase and thus the series remained "puritan" for 20 years. 20 fucking years.
