    Argh I'm kind of hating a ton of these novels..
    Like, I see a novel with a nice title and want to look at its description and just read "Harem" or "Harem-seeking lead" on a ton of them.. Why does there always have to be a Harem T.T I'd like more sincere feeling like in Shen Yin Wang Zuo.. Or maybe, idk, a gay Mc cuz why not..
    I literally can't even anymore with all these Harem T_T Sevens picked my interest as well, but another Harem.. *sigh* Why are all these authors so fixated on Harem..

    It's not hard to use the search function and disclude harem. Yes, many of the popular novels have harem elements but that is because they are popular. It's not everyone's demographic but people want to both write and translate things that are popular and/or well recieved.

    Because I got tired of harem that I switched to otome game themed novels. But now I'm into gender bender like Vampire Princess and Korean novels like LMS and Elqueeness

    I don't really care much for harem tags anymore since it pretty much just means that there are multiple girls are in the story. Although some tags I still don't understand like the harem tag on CSG I mean what is his harem? The throats of his victims?

    It's not that I hate harems... Afterall, I'm still reading ATG and MGA. It's just that i no longer held a favorable impression on those novels. I want some normal pairings now or maybe those which has no definite romance . i've been searching for a novel that is like Ansatsu Kyoushitsu. Aye~ the latter is a manga though
