    I want to see adventure/fantasy story where the protagonist is the main hero (so nothing like the hero teammate ditching) and he is given the usual stuff, while his teammate/friend is the protagonist of dating sim system or something that he got the harem end. Any? I want to see OP protagonist with no luck with women, and his friend that have triggered the flags of all the other female around the protagonist.

    That's very specific. I can't remember any harem story like that but maybe these ones that put a twist on the hero setting will catch your interest.

    My Hero - a short story from the POV of a directionally challenged hero's friend
    https://yoraikun.wordpress.com/2017/07/25/my-hero/
    Hero BBS - the manga is translated further than the novel; about the forum threads of various heroes across dimensions. I believe there was one individual whose friend ended up getting a harem while he grew more and more OP. It's very funny.
    Running Away From The Hero - ? this one is a more general parody. The school arc has one kid that's basically a harem protagonist but well the MC is running away from his own 'harem' because they're all pretty crazy. He really has no luck with women... As one reviewer mentioned, it's NSFR (Not Safe For Ribs). It's hilarious, I died laughing from the twists multiple times.

    His teammate is the harem protagonist (in universe), he is the hero (story protagonist). Usually, when you have the protagonist as the sidekick that was kicked out by hero party, the protagonist ends up with the harem. I want to see the reversal, where the protagonist get this supreme power of the hero, while his teammate gets the harem.

    Why? The protagonist is successful in the hero department. But just fail in the romance department. Don't people like OP protagonist?

    ugh... let's not cross the NTR territory. I just want, if the girls is interested in the protagonist, it is because she is interested in his friend instead. otherwise, the girls went straight to his friend.

    That might be hard since most novels are self inserts, but there is a manga called "Fantasy Bishoujo Juniku Ojisan to" where the MC is a guy is middle age and his friend gets all the girls. Though his friend has no real interest in girls and probably is gay(not the MC, his friend) and likes the MC.

    So then the MC gets isekaid and his friend jumps after him. But MC then gets turned into a girl with a charm effect. Which makes all the men propose to the MC.

    It's the closest I can get :/
