Haha, at this point it isn't even a reverse harem story, but a romance between Penelope and Callisto, while these other guys fumble the best girl so bad.

Which is not to say that I don't see Reynold being good, but he's not actually all that there for Penelope. Yes, if someone's being awful to her, he'll help, but it needs to happen in front of him. He's not someone who thinks things through enough, to plan ahead to help Penelope to get out of situation, just someone there for the confrontations.
And even if he was, I do think that their relationship is platonic/familial, and nothing more, unlike Derrick, who wants to have his cake and stab it in the back too.

Winters is really interesting, because he's kinder better person than Callisto imo. Winters is just not capable of living for Penelope, he has to care about the kids, his people, the kingdom and just justice in general. He'll say the truth even if it harms Penelope, which I do really admire in his character, but it just isn't something that Penelope needs.

In a story about Penelope dying if no one comes to love her, rational normal kind and honest man just isn't going to do it. Penelope needs someone just crazy enough to choose her over the rest of her world, but not someone batshit enough to disregard her happiness in this.
