Just the demo alone made this one of my top visual novels. I always struggle to find a visual novel where the protagonist is a guy, it has good story, and there isn't lgbtq.
Bit late but ik some good ones

Last one I'll recommend is FNIA: Golden Time. Once you look at it you'll realise why I put it last. For a harem VN it's not half bad but it is more of a 'f it why not?'.
