    I know it's a long shot but still worth a try right? I've already grown tired of harems, which are usually constructed by tirelessly recycled heroine tropes. I still wanna give this genre a chance though, so I challenge(humble request) anyone to provide me a recommendation that doesn't include:

    mc saves dark-elf/beastkin from slavery.
    mc saves girl from monster(because of course, living your whole life in a fantasy world, you have never had the need to be saved before until the mc shows up).
    mc was nice to her when, for some ass pull reason, nobody else was.
    mc saves princess from arranged marriage to unnaturally fiendish asshole
    mc farts mc-pheromones that naturally enchants heroines and make them love him simply because he's the mc.

    The romance should develop naturally and the mc should actually put in effort, consciously or subconsciously, or have unique qualities that would attract the interest of potential heroines. And by unique qualities I don't mean Isekai Cheat abilities.

    I was reading Commanding Wind and Cloud, and it seems like it's turning into harems. But there are more than just harems plots in the book, so if you are looking for book that has a lot of harems, you might be disappointed.

    Campione. Probably. Its like no matter what godou do, girls will be attracted to him. Its a family curse. His grandpa lineage branch are natural charmers of the opposite sex. The kusanagi's are either debonair or femme fatale.

    The Amber Sword - Its already quite a few chapters and none of the heroines have actual feelings for the MC, at this point its mostly admiration and interest. Some feelings are developing a bit but its probably one of the most natural ones.

    The relationships aspect in that novel was TERRIBLE. He literally treated his marriage to everyone like signing a paper, and went next issue.

    Tsuki ga??? I mean, theres no romance yet but it is almost there though... but i guess it falls into the nonsensical reasons (probably) you just stated. So you can choose whether to ignore this or not...

    Rokujouma.
    A girl appeared from the wall
    A girl crashed from the window
    A girl appeared from underground
    Each girls got a focus arcs that explore their background and their reason.
    Pretty much almost non standard Harem.

    Sevens - damn I recommend this a lot ...
    Check
    It's just almost got caught to slavery, saved by the MC and the Elf joined him because she's a run-away girl without home, but when the MC learned she was not in love with him, the MC confessed asked to fall for him while asking for a kiss
    Check Again but
    after the sea monster was defeated, the MC confessed to the Girl he rescued, but the girl is still in love with her sister's boyfriend, so the MC was rejected
    Check again, but
    it was actually devised by the princess, a trap to lure a potential guy to take the crown
    Check Again because of Mr. Lyle
