Indeed

If MC is particularly smart he'd intentionally use such bonus girls as learning experience to help capture best girl.
This is already proven to be not working coz best girl to author is main girl and most of the time to readers she's not best girl or even worst girl
Examples would be Re:Zero where people screamed at Subaru to pick Rem instead of chasing Emilia
Also Kanna no Kanna in which Kanna kept chasing Real for a very long time and neglects the other 2 girls, resulting in people just dropping the series and the LN stopped too
Excessive focus to a particular girl in a harem is harmful imho
