A'shada has/had a planet-size lesbian harem ? Okay, everything makes sense now ^ ^

Honestly Holo, there is nothing wrong with either (lesbian/harem), and if A'shada is effectively into women (why not ?), then it's only natural for her to have sexual/romantic involvements on par with her merits/capabilities, which in this case translates into a large number of relatively normal partners. From an in-universe perspective, it's perfectly logical.

Though I have to admit the way to went about it is a little disturbing, as it is painfully clear that the Ana'i'm are little more than a cloistered caste of glorified prostitutes pre-selected on planetary catalogue, and randomly summoned to pleasure A'shada according to her mood. So a very onesided and objectifying relation overall. Imagine A'shada was a male instead, and the wrongness of the approach should dawn on you fairly quickly ^ ^;

Why not extend the harem idea to the Ae'ani empire as a whole, while humanizing it with thoughtful empathy ? A'shada could simply use her cosmic-level psionic to scan the empire in search of partners suiting her current desires, and then refine her search by determining who among them would be interested in sharing her bed.

Considering the empire extends to a hundred thousands galaxies and her popularity reaches worship-level throughout it, she should invariably end up with an astronomical list of suitable/interested candidates to choose from. From there, she could simply contact them telepathically and honestly make her proposal, which is virtually guaranteed to meet a very enthusiastic "yes" at this point.

You don't have to asexualize A'shada, I actually think it adds a valuable human touch to an otherwise transcendent entity, grounding her in mortal concerns and making her more relatable to the audience. Not to mention the idea of a women-loving Goddess-Emperess is extremely rare compared to the straight male mainstream counterpart, so it would have the extra merit of originality.

Just make sure to go about it in a sweet and non-hierarchical way, so that this side of her life may beautifully complete her greatness of power with greatness of soul :)
