This will be trash if this end up as harem after painting him as a loyal man. He's goal is to rebuild Antares and live goodlife with Siris, he always think of Siris, Siris influenced on him is so large, he literally loves her.
Hoping for Iliya to root for somebody else, Russ exist and he's muscular and a genius swordsman. And can someone teach Silla's the gym breathing technique for goodness sake.

U have a point regarding about their relationship, tho I believe that the reason behind that is bcoz back in the past they "grow together", while the present them seems more like "Siris grows and he supervised her".
My thoughts were just if they changed the narrative from monogamy to polygamy, that influences his character as well, that'll be far from the mc we met at the beginning.
Then it'll be generic, It's an action genre where the op mc has numerous wives, the gooners plot. Romantic interests actually enhances the plot for most readers even if it's a minor details compared to the other big events of the story.
Abel's not gonna die again, he's now healthy thanks to that ginseng like roots, and yes even if he's dimwit he USED his brain!!! he's the the character in charge to know the past while the ml played with death!!! Even Sir Kin gave him the credit of being a helpful Regas!!!
AND MAYBE, the main genre of this story is politics with romance as subplot. 3/4 of the story is politics, and 1/4 for romance.
He's not a damsel alright, but he certainly is in a lot of distress that's for sure
