well.. in regards to converting eroge staples into harem equivalents..

most eroge that I know off usually make it clear who the main heroine(s) is/are

The person that sets of the story would be the primary heroine / 1st girl.
If she has an opposite, that would play the role of 2nd girl.

Anything else that comes after that is the 3rd girl.

And it's not an issue of introduction. As someone said, 1st girl and 2nd girl are usually designed to bounce off each other, and thus have opposite mindsets and personalities.

If you know what one is like, you can usually guess what the other will be. I'd go so far to say that 1st girl and 2nd girl are cast from the same mold.

This is why 3rd girls are 3rd wheels. It's like being a non sequitur opinion in an intense debate between two conflicting philosophies. Most of the time you are going to be ignored.

Edit: and sometimes you don't have a 2nd girl in eroge. Sometimes you only have one primary heroine supported by a bunch of 3rd girls
