Yeah that wouldn't be bad. Maybe not as much as 20 steps. Thats probably to much work for HH devs, seeing how slow they change stuff.

My solution would be to use first 4 girls you acquire. So Bunny, Juliette, Red Battler and Ankyo. They would be like 20/40/60/80% sloped cost of upgrading their starts. 5th and all other girls would be 100% full cost. That full cost could be like Juliette is now. That is I think high enough to actually cost low enough for whales, and high enough to force F2P to work for it.

If you fight Bremen and do harem cash gathering you can probably easily make 100K+ cash/h without much work. So like 1M a day. Not sure whats the total cost of getting Juliette from rank 0 to 5th star. But even if its 10M total - thats more or less duable. We get an event a month? New story world like once per few months. So with new probably perma 25 kobans for doing dailies that like what 4 even girls and maybe 1 story girls a month on average - which would be 50M with the assumed 10M total cost. Doable if you baby-sit the game, and yet not easy enough - so that there is incentive for whales to support a game by maybe upgrading with kobans not cash on later stages.

If Juliette cost would be 100% - then Bunny would be a bit cheaper being 20% vs being 50 now. 3 other starting girls would be close to actual Bunny cost (40/60%) and a bit more expensive, but cheaper than Juliette is now (80% one).

This is also easy to implement for devs, as they could have simple set of how much it would cost to upgrade Bunny (as in amount of affection points per stage and upgrade to next stage cost). And multiply that by 2/3/4 for other 3 starting girls. And all other event/epic pachinko/story farmable girls would use a static 5 multiplier. They could do make it so that those 4 starting girls are always the first 4 girls in your harem for more visual/cost slope consistency.

Thus you have a nice slope on starting 4 girls, and any girl beyond that which you will get later from trolls/story/events/epic pachinko will just cost a static high value. Only issue would be if someone whales basically instantly - as you can reach epic-pachinko before you get all starting 4 girls, and thus you could whale and spin to get some girls, but thats just it aka not really a problem.

Of course some math crunching would be needed to calculate how expensive it really is to get Juliette from 0 to 5 stars now, and how many new girls on average per month we get, how much money on average per month a person can farm without like 16h a day baby-sitting, and then maybe tune down that 100% value making it a bit smaller than Juliette is now.
