Imagine a story where each time you reread it, the protagonist dates a completely different configuration of characters. Or where the "many more" isn't limited to 100—it is limited only by the server space. The romantic storyline becomes a procedural generation engine.
This is not sci-fi; early access games on Steam are already experimenting with "infinite waifu" algorithms. The human desire for variety in romance—for the thrill of "what if?"—is seemingly bottomless. Ultimately, the obsession with "gf many more relationships and romantic storylines" reflects a deep truth about storytelling: we hate endings. We hate that when the hero kisses the heroine, the credits roll. We want to see what happens with the best friend. We want to see the date with the villain. We want the alternate universe where the transfer student won.
This series takes the premise to an absurdist extreme. The protagonist, Rentarou, is fated by a divine mistake to have 100 soulmates. If he rejects any of them, they will die. Consequently, the story is not about choosing a girlfriend but about managing a small army of them.
Furthermore, these storylines have incredible longevity. A single "choose one" romance might last 12 episodes. A "100 girlfriends" series can theoretically last 500 episodes. Streamers and publishers love this because it generates long-term subscription retention; fans stay to see "what happens in Girlfriend #47's arc." Critics argue that these narratives are unrealistic and promote emotional immaturity. They claim that a commitment to "many more" is a fear of genuine intimacy.
