    so tru for ISSTH, I dropped it on the boring part with slapping the bags of holding and taking out new random magic items, and then started reading it again when I was utterly bored just to again start thinking about dropping it when the parrot appeared and things started getting funny and interesting, SYWZ has much boring fights, LLS is as you say annoying, TTNH had a rellly good start, what happened? Same thing for Law except it's not even worth reading after 20 or so chaps

    Each member does have personality, but I would never say it harem because of the massive NTR that each girl puts the MC through.

    I drop a lot of title lately, I simply don't have time.
    So I am only keeping up with several favorite novels.

    Mushoku Tensei also did this. Tate no Yuusha as well, although it is worth noting he tries to avoid romance until near the end (only adding this one is since technically, multiple characters are romantically interested in him, even if he ignores/avoids/doesn't realize).

    You know i dropped Doulou Dalu just because i hated Xiao Wu. Not to mention i didn't hate but i also did not like Tang San so i figured it is not really worth it.

    really simple to fix, you remember the mc name, the girls names, the teachers names, and thats all because everyone else that shows up becomes irrelevant in the story. Plus theyre mostly dead meat or part of the protect the mc for like 1 arc.

    i just keep my expectations pretty low, read the beginning portion where most mcs actually have a personality before the kill craze takes over. Other than that it seems some female protags chinese keep almost all the characters relevant like meow meow meow and my disciple died yet again.

    Hmm... I've always thought the main appeal of CN novels is the simplicity. Like you don't have to bother with multiple perspectives or huge plot twists very similar to slice of life; it's just plain and simple carnage and road to 10K MMR immortality.
