The Protagonist. Who are they? They are the main character of a story. The protagonist is at the center of the story, makes the key decisions, and experiences the consequences of those decisions.
Eroge.
What is an eroge? Well, find out for yourself.
In most Eroge, the protagonist's parents are usually absent. Why would they never show up?
That is because if they are (absent), they can't have the protagonist's sister or childhood friend wake him up in the morning, or to make it easy for a girl to sneak into his room. Simply just anything to suit the writer's convenience.
Though in some cases, the parents would accept it as the norm. Just like you see in anime or manga.
Reasons are presented such as the parents are working overseas or he is living in a dorm, away from his parents.
There are even some instances where the parents themselves don't exist in the first place.
That's a bit extreme if you think about it. Surely questions such as, "How was he born if his parents don't exist?" would be brought up.
Well, the scriptwriter will think of a way that doesn't really make sense to get away with it.
Anyways, the protagonist is a man that is living in an environment that has a lot of unique circumstances.
There's also a special ability exclusive to Eroge protagonists called the [Eroge Protagonist Correction].
Now don't ask me why it's called that. Someone had to come up with a term for it right?
Anyways, for example, the protagonist who cross-dresses and goes to an all-girl school. Why doesn't anyone notice that? It is so obvious to the extent it makes you think that he would be found out ages ago if there wasn't some kind of special power helping him out.
You might even pull out your hair and become bald while screaming "How the hell did they not find out?!" from all these events that somehow don't expose him.
There are a lot of times where the protagonist is supposed to be exposed, like when the protagonist came running with a big stride in physical education class but his wig still doesn't come off.
Why does it easily come off so suddenly with just so much as a little brush from the heroine? Well, it couldn't be helped since he was fighting with the heroine huh.
Although we deviated a little from the main subject, the thought that a man attends an all-girl school while cross-dressing is already an abnormal setting, a normal person wouldn't be able to wrap their head around that.
However, this is just an ordinary event in the Eroge World, even if you are not an expert in Eroge you can still immerse in the story without discomfort. Those who would feel such a sense of wrongness would be only just those novice that just got introduced to an Eroge.
On another point, the fact that the protagonist is so popular with the girl might be one of the powers of his [Eroge Protagonist Correction].
For example, the protagonist is always surrounded by a beautiful sight.
A beautiful little sister or sister-in-law who would call him Onii-chan. A beautiful childhood friend who even though you didn't ask, would come to wake you up early in the morning every day then proceed to flip your futon without permission only to witness your morning wood and send you flying with a slap.
A talented, well-dressed student council president with strict looks who suddenly turns meek in an ero-scene. Or even a teacher who should already have graduated from university but no matter how you look, she still looks like an elementary school kid. For one reason or another, they all lust after a boy with little to no redeeming feature aside from the fact that he is a little kind.
Be that as it may, the only abnormal one here was not only the protagonist, even the heroines are abnormal.
In reality, you wouldn't find a woman who has such a surprising high fighting power who just happened to be a ninja falling for you or a housewife who already has a child in high school but still looks younger than even her own daughter, a heroine that looks like an elementary schooler no matter which angle you look at her from.
However, no matter how young they looked, before the game starts there would be a disclaimer stating that "All of the individuals in this game are of the age of 18 or above" that made all the gentlemen (Eroge players) able to zealously perform their self-stimulation with a peace of mind.
To put it in a word, An Eroge's world is a special world that commonsense can not be applied to.
If you have entered such a world and you are the protagonist then there wouldn't be a problem. (Except for some games)
The protagonist is the center of the world and because of that, you will definitely become popular.

"This is weird, This is definitely weird...."
The me that is reflecting in the mirror right now, he is me but also not me. No, the reflection moved as I move but the body I see is not mine, saying it that way would be more accurate.
The face in front of me⌠"Who is this? This unseemingly handsome face?"
"Was there a character like this?" I wondered as I stared at the reflection in the mirror.
