Unironically, Jaune being the harem lead and all the ladies having character arcs related to his journey would have been much better than what we got from canon RWBY. Everyone gets a character arc, everyone has a goal, there's tension and drama potential. It's not a very complicated story but if well told it would have still been fun.

I like Jaune having a harem of Mantle MILFs more than any of the team RWBY to be honest.
I love these girls but they really need to know when to hold em and when to fold em, if you get what I am saying.
Besides, I am of firm belief that Mantle should have been the place where team JNPR finally cut loose from team RWBY.
Nora is actively helping the Faunus and Jaune is actually serving the people while team RWBY is busy furthering their agenda.
Honestly the whole problem of V8 is stupid, Atlas has the best Technology and if they really used the staff of creation then using the brilliant scientists of Atlas with advanced computers to run simulations, they could have drafted the plans to make Mantle and Atas as veritable fortresses with all the infrastructure they would need to not only make it into an a heavily defended place and provide all the necessities of the people.
Seriously the one drawback of that staff is that you need to have a clear picture to what you wish to create which could easily be solved by the above proposed method.
Fix the infrastructure for both Mantle and Atlas and the only thing they need to do is use their advancedGerman Atlas technology and make plans.

Breakfast was... A bit stressful.
Jaune wasn't unused to attention: Given the antics RWBY and JNPR got involved in, they did tend to get a lot of eyes on them at meals. The news from the stream had gone far, given all the stares and whispers going on regarding them. Jaune supposed he couldn't blame them. He was engaged to eleven women-What were they supposed to do? Not gawk at the fact the dead last in class was now living out a Mistralian harem anime?
Not that Jaune was feeling particularly keen on getting punched across the planet or fighting an alien space pirate. Though given the insanity of the various futures, it's possible his kids had just not mentioned it.
Penny sat by this side throughout and kept things pretty peaceful. There wasn't any violence... However…
"Ruby," Jaune sighed, "I can feed myself."
"And he doesn't need you in his lap," Weiss added icily, though she certainly wasn't the only female glaring her way.
Ruby looked as innocent as she possibly could.
"What? I've sat in his lap lots of times! And we should make sure he eats a healthy breakfast," she said.
"Say the girl who can consume ten pounds of sugar in a single sitting," Emerald deadpanned.
"My darkest day," Nora sighed, bowing her head. She glared at Ruby. "I shall defeat you one day, my eternal rival!"
"Bring it on!" Ruby crowed. Nora returned to being lovey-dovey with Ren, who only had eyes for her. It was honestly kind of sweet, if a bit weird.
Not that I can say anything, Jaune thought to himself ruefully.
She held up a cut of pancake stack to Jaune with a sweet look on her face. "Say aw, Jaune~!"
"Ummm…" Jaune tried to get a word in edgewise before Ruby popped the fork into his mouth. "Mmph!"
"Honestly Ruby," Weiss sighed, "You spoke about us being united and yet act so bratty."
"Oh, I'm sorry Weiss," Ruby said apologetically, "You want to sit on his lap next?"
Weiss went bright red. Pyrrha cleared her throat, sitting with Arslan.
"I'll take it!" Yang declared eagerly. She winked at Jaune. "You wanna see if I bounce?"
"YANG!" Weiss cried. Arslan sighed as May went bright red. Ruby followed suit, as did Jaune.
"What? It's a simple question!" Yang giggled.
Pyrrha, at his other side, sighed and shook her head.
"I believe none of us are lacking in that respect," Pyrrha stated. She side eyed Weiss and Ruby. "With some exceptions."
"Pyrrha!" Arslan gasped, disappointed. Jaune also gaped at his partner. Pyrrha blushed.
"S-Sorry! It just popped out!"
"That's what she said," Yang snickered.
Weiss stewed as Ruby scowled.
"I'm drinking my milk!" Ruby defended herself.
"Clearly it's not doing a lot of good," Emerald commented.
"Emerald," May said, disappointed, "You promised you'd try to be nicer."
Emerald grumbled. Blake sighed and shook her head.
"It's not always what's up top that counts, you know," Blake said. She dropped her fork. "Oops. How clumsy of me."
She slid down under the table… Right in front of Jaune… Bumped her head against his shins. He went bright red.
"Oh dear," Blake observed. "Eep!" Arslan yanked her back up into her seat. She scowled at her. "What?"
"Really?" Arslan deadpanned.
It was nice, of course. He'd have to be blind, deaf, dumb, gay, and dead to not like all this attention. It was just that Jaune felt like a dog who finally caught a Bullhead-What the heck was he supposed to do with it?
"Hey Da-Jaune!"
Jaune turned and looked. His future kids had shuffled in, most looking tired. Jaune frowned as they began grabbing breakfast and sat down at the table, Theodore apologetically scooting in between him and Pyrrha. The other kids sat with or near their mothers as they began to eat-Save for Julian, who looked a little green at his mom with Jaune and sat with Yang and Xia instead.
"Hey kids," Jaune greeted, the mothers echoing similar sentiments. Emerald already leaned in with Amethyst, who smiled warmly at her mother. Ash and Ashley stood awkwardly, until Penny scooted enough for them to sit on Jaune's other side. "You all okay?"
"'Captain' here had us up half the night doing paperwork," Xia groused, glaring at Theodore. Winter's son shrugged unapologetically as he ate some poached salmon.
"We've still got a lot of work to do, guys," he said, "And eleven different timelines to sort through."
"Doesn't mean you have to be a dick about it," August grumbled. He coughed. "Shouldn't have said that."
"No, you shouldn't have," May huffed. She reached up to ruffle his hair. He grimaced.
"Mom! Er, May, I mean!"
"Still, if we're going to do this, we could afford to be a little less conspicuous," Leandra pointed out. Theodore shrugged.
"Kind of hard to be that under these circumstances."
"Besides, neither an Arc nor a Schnee goes out like a thief in the night," Nick stated proudly. Weiss had a small smile at that.
"Anyway," Dorothy stated, "the plan is that we'll start working on stuff throughout the day and shadow our assigned people in between 'assignments'."
"Nothing dangerous, I hope?" Jaune asked, his worry shared by everyone else from the present. Petra smiled and shook her head.
"We will be fine, Father. Promise."
"Nothing too dangerous, anyway," Xander observed, smiling warmly at his mother.
"But just dangerous enough so it won't be boring," Julian grinned. Ruby scowled at him.
"Julian!"
"That's the right attitude to have!" Nora cheered.
Jaune sighed and looked over at Penny.
"And what does General Ironwood think about all this?" He asked.
Penny beamed.
"The General is satisfied with the security arrangements at the moment, though he will be busy with many matters today. He has also sent Specialist Schnee for additional security!"
"Where is she then?" Weiss demanded. There was a slight commotion at the front doors. Jaune looked up. His jaw dropped.
Winter Schnee strode in, wearing black stockings, a tight pencil skirt, tight white blouse without sleeves, glasses, and her hair down over her shoulders. Her muscular yet curvy figure was on full display as she walked up to the table with a warm, nervous smile. Weiss fumed.
"Hello Jaune," she said, "I'm looking forward to our day… I mean date. I mean…" She brushed some hair behind her ear, "Both."
"I… Um… M-me too," Jaune managed. He felt a veritable storm of female indignation building behind him. He saw pitying looks from almost every male in range.
Well, almost all of them. Cardin was talking with Velvet happily. Flynt saluted him with a manly sob. Ren was occupied with Nora. Neptune was being held back by Sage and Scarlet as his mouth frothed in rage.
"LET ME AT HIM! LET ME AT HIM!"
Ilia, sitting with a collar next to Sun, sighed deeply and shook her head.
Jaune coughed.
"Ah… Y-Yeah… Me too," he managed.
Dog with a Bullhead, that was him.
- - -
The first class was Oobleck's. The seating arrangements were a tiny bit awkward, but thankfully everyone managed to sit with their teams without too much issue. Winter and Penny sat on either side of Jaune. Everyone seemed to be willing to behave.
The kids were in various seats head of Jaune. Most of them looked like they were dreading this, save for Dorothy. She looked up at her father and grinned.
"I love Uncle Bart's lectures! So stimulating!" She confided. "I can't wait to meet him in his prime!"
"Ah, yeah," Jaune slowly nodded. He could only imagine how Professor Goodwitch-Glynda's-class was going to go.
Oobleck burst into the class, already sipping his coffee. He scanned around and then nodded.
"Even though we are on half days this day, that is no excuse to not continue your learning!" He stated. "So! We will take the opportunity to explore the history of the event making it so!"
He zipped over to the blackboard and wrote out a huge series of paragraphs and diagrams that, as usual, Jaune couldn't make heads or tails of. Pyrrha was diligently taking notes as usual. He really needed to thank her for that.
"The Emerald Festival! Yes, this goes back to the Valean Duchy, when Vale was but one of many competing nation states on the continent of Sanus! Unlike the Gallian and Vytalian Empires, the Valean Duchy's empire was primarily focused on trade and intelligence, not as much overt conquest! However, imperial ambitions will always lead to conflict! And competition in Menagerie and Mistral for colonial holdings and trade routes between the Vale Duchy and Gallian Empire could not be resolved peacefully, among many other factors we will go into in the homework."
Many groans, even from his future children. Well, that was only to be expected, Jaune supposed. Oobleck took another sip of coffee and zipped up to the left side of the blackboard, pointing out some particular diagrams.
"As a result, the Gallian Queen at the time, Alice Valois II, declared war. Many other Sanus nation states like Arminus and Hispania sided with the Gallians, while others like Vytal sided with the Duchy, and what could be called the first true world War ensued. The Gallian Army besieged Vale City for nearly two years while the Emerald Emperor did his best to run the war across the planet. The war was not going well for the Duchy, and indeed, all hope seemed lost for the capital city, as the Gallian fleet succeeded in blockading it for six months. However! Queen Alice Valois II abruptly died in a croquet accident without any heirs, leading the army commanders to squabble about their next actions as a vicious Gallian power struggle ensued. Thanks to this, the Vytalian fleet under Admiral Hortense Hornblower was able to defeat the Gallian Fleet at the Battle of the Dragon Fingers, while Vytal convinced Arminus and Hispania to switch sides. As a result, an Allied army landed on June 28th and liberated the city. A peace treaty was then signed with the new Gallian King, Ace Valois, a distant cousin of Alice's on his mother's side and coincidentally the world's greatest croquet player. A raucous week-long party ensued, where everyone was pretty much useless for the entirety of the next month!"
"Now that sounds fun," Yang grinned.
"The party or the croquet accident?" Ruby asked. At Yang's look, she shrugged. "What?"
"Honestly," Weiss sighed, rolling her eyes. Oobleck nodded quickly and zipped to the center, holding up a can of green plastic emeralds.
"The Emerald Emperor is said to have become so inebriated that he handed out all the emeralds in the city vault to anyone who came into the city, and ordered the city pained green and red as he thought it was the Yule despite it being the middle of summer. While the Emperor, after sobering up, tried to pretend it didn't happen, it was instituted as a holiday because he had declared it so while drunk. Which still counts under Valean law to this day. So! Every June week, we celebrate for a week long with drinking, partying, and tossing around plastic emeralds in remembrance!"
Oobleck sipped his coffee once more.
"Now, that is no excuse to slack off this week! Even if you have a lot of other things going on! Understanding why something is happening is a survival technique, and one you should develop at all times! Especially given the recent incidents on campus! For instance: Mister Arc!"
"Yes?" Jaune and all his male children answered. Even Theodore, who coughed. Oobleck shook his head.
"Mister Jaune Arc?"
"Yes Professor?" Jaune answered.
"You are engaged to eleven different women," Oobleck said, "Why?"
"Uhhh…" Jaune coughed. "Ummmm… W-Well… My father is dumb and when drunk he made a bunch of marriage contracts?"
"Exactly!" Oobleck declared. "Many of the worst decisions in history have been made while inebriated, just like the Emerald Festival! But many of the best decisions in history have also been made while inebriated, just like the Emerald Festival! Time will tell what decisions were correct or incorrect, as will our own decisions after!"
Jaune felt the weight of many stares on him. He coughed and slowly nodded.
"I… I can only do my best, sir," Jaune said, "I have too many people counting on me to do anything less."
Oobleck stared at him intensely. Jaune stared back. Oobleck nodded and sipped his coffee.
"Well put! That is all anyone can do! But what is our best? The Emerald Emperor made many decisions that in hindsight were wise, and others that were foolish! For instance, his proposal to abolish the military was seen as short sighted…"
Oobleck trailed off into his usual rapid patter. Jaune dared to look around. His future wives almost all looked at him warmly. Yang and Pyrrha in particular licked their lips, while Winter… Blushed?
"Well put," Winter said gently. Jaune shrugged.
"It… It was the truth," he murmured.
"Even so," Winter said with a soft smile, which, combined with her soft blush and looks, sent his own heart racing. Jaune could see Theodore looking smug while his temporal half-siblings all scowled. Jaune sucked in a deep breath.
This is going to get more complicated, he realized. But all I can do is my best…
"Mister Arc! Pay attention!"
"I was!" August groaned. "Oh! You meant Da-uh, Daddy…O! My mistake!"
"Sorry Professor!" Jaune said quickly, going back to trying to take notes and keep up. Ash looked over at August and raised an eyebrow.
"'Daddy-O?'"
"It's slang where I come from," August said, as several present students stared at him. "I don't want to call Jaune Daddy. It's weird."
"It's not when I do it~."
"YANG!"
Jaune wasn't unused to attention: Given the antics RWBY and JNPR got involved in, they did tend to get a lot of eyes on them at meals. The news from the stream had gone far, given all the stares and whispers going on regarding them. Jaune supposed he couldn't blame them. He was engaged to eleven women-What were they supposed to do?

"Well put! That is all anyone can do! But what is our best? The Emerald Emperor made many decisions that in hindsight were wise, and others that were foolish! For instance, his proposal to abolish the military was seen as short sighted…"
Oobleck trailed off into his usual rapid patter. Jaune dared to look around. His future wives almost all looked at him warmly. Yang and Pyrrha in particular licked their lips, while Winter… Blushed?
"Well put," Winter said gently. Jaune shrugged.
"It… It was the truth," he murmured.
"Even so," Winter said with a soft smile, which, combined with her soft blush and looks, sent his own heart racing. Jaune could see Theodore looking smug while his temporal half-siblings all scowled. Jaune sucked in a deep breath.
This is going to get more complicated, he realized. But all I can do is my best…
"Mister Arc! Pay attention!"
"I was!" August groaned. "Oh! You meant Da-uh, Daddy…O! My mistake!"
"Sorry Professor!" Jaune said quickly, going back to trying to take notes and keep up. Ash looked over at August and raised an eyebrow.
"'Daddy-O?'"
"It's slang where I come from," August said, as several present students stared at him. "I don't want to call Jaune Daddy. It's weird."
"It's not when I do it~."
"YANG!"

Lol, Imagine if Jaune's kids were hardcore late Gen-Z?
The slang would be like reading Arabic.
Anytime one of their siblings irritates them they just go, " icl gng ts pmo, sybau".
I almost bust my gut while thinking this.

I just use random slang from throughout history for RWBY. It's another world, it should have its own slang and it should be hilarious where appropriate.

You are correct, but actually sitting down and thinking about languages would develop in a world with different cultural influences and priorities is something that mostly people who have interacted with Tolkien's works or it's derivative media like D&D actually stop and think about.
I won't blame CRWBY in this because it's not something that many series do implement and some that do are the crème de la crème of their particular niche and/or time.
