BorN even reuses old plot points

It's not all bad; there is some good. The attention to detail in the world building of this universe is surprisingly well done and interesting. Concepts introduced early on, are built upon later, and also tie in to later plot points.

At least with a typical harem, the sexless main protagonist has a noble nature and thus reason to admire and fall in love with him.
