Outside of the mom route he should be fine. Proactive protagonists don't fit too well into yakata games though. I've seen that in Kiriya Hakushakuke no Roku Shimai. It basically just resulted into heavy weirdness, because he had to still be in a yakata game (as in question all the weird sexual things or ceremonies, trying to figure out what's going on), and yet was sexually proactive. It makes no sense. Would a dude who immediately hits on any girl he sees and wants sex really start to think about a ceremony asking him to get girls pregnant? Wouldn't he just be like "lucky~~~~"? The protag was a mess.

A more quiet and less proactive protag makes a lot more sense. It also will give you the feeling of getting drawn into the setting a lot more. You aren't spearheading into it. You get sucked into it. Like you fall in some spiderweb and get trapped with no escape.
But. BUT. It's not like the protag remains quiet and such in all routes all the time. Hyakki Ryouran a good game. It really is.

I think it's super (super) short anyway. So I wouldn't bother with it, unless you know both games already anyway.
I only know that Astronauts Yakata game and liked it. But given that the main heroine isn't even in this spin-off, I never bothered looking much into it, or that other game. Yuri's route was fun, but in a kinda different way.

Everything but the last part of Hyakki Ryouran done. In some ways: What a game.

Aya's (oldest sister, grey..? hair) route was fine. A bunch of interesting reveals, fun climax and more. Pretty much how I imagined routes in the middle part to be.

Fumika's (mom) route was utter shit. No real reveals, just some confirmations of stuff you should've guesses by that point anyway. Fairly boring with an absurdly terrible climax. The actions there are so mindbogglingly stupid, it's probably a route you should ctrl. My favorite part was how in that route you could accomplish your main goal, but it's thrown away because "lul wrong route" in the dumbest way possible. That's not how this should work.

Yuri's (middle sister, blonde) route was great in a bit of an unexpected way. Yuri is a complete bitch, and her route works just so well with it. It was also kinda fun to see how the protag would just fall down which leads to some fairly fun endings. It's a nice what if scenario, that just feels good, even though it doesn't reveal a ton. A lot of asses get their just desserts here. Yuri doesn't even really have a good ending. Which is really fitting, to be honest.


That said, my complaints remain the same, and now the ero gets added to it. The game has too much. Too many CG dedicated to it as well. If this would be a silly nukige.. okay. But I still think, this is story first, ero second, no matter how high the ero rate is. There were however quite a lot of scenes that could've really used some CG so far but didn't have one, because every female needs to have like 10+ hcg. Which I feel is utterly useless anyway, given that most of these characters aren't really unique enough to warrant that. It all feels kinda the same.
Still, the last part should still be fairly fun, as the main heroine is pretty great in my opinion. Also the only main heroine who doesn't wear some shitty looking purple lipstick or whatever that is...
