The title says most of what you know, but it's probably worth adding that the 'harem' starts with two aliens and a vampire, as well as a childhood friend and a European princess. They vary in how ready they are to accept the news:

I wrote Opus, which is a trans self-discovery story where MC Daniel learns that the girl they've dreamed of for years wasn't an object of their desire, rather she was inside them all along. anotherindiewriter.itch.io/opus

Awesome! My most popular is the Cybernetic Tea Shop, a lesbian novella about an AI engineer and the world's last autonomous robot (written before the ai boom lol). It's asexual (the human too!) but NOT aromantic!

Themes of disconnection, identity, loss, and rediscovery. You'll meet several creepy crawlies in need of affection, help, and comfort. Or, perhaps, in need of fresh victims. It'll be up to you how this ends up going for our isolated protagonist!
