    Hi guys,

    any recommendation? I’m looking for something like Heavenly Jewel Change where the harem is pretty solid. Maybe there are some flaws with the character development of each woman in that novel but at least the harem is complete.

    Tried Mushoku Tensei yet? Old n cool novel, imo.

    It's been a while since I last seen someone who can just see HJC for what it is in a nice way.

    Eh, HJC was alright, but a lot of those relationships were cringe. I myself just finally finished it a week ago after being here when it first started being translated.

    All that said, Long Live Summons! Was one of my favorites, but it went down in quality once a certain Phoenix Fairy showed up.

    A Demon Lord’s Tale: Dungeons, Monster Girls, and Heartwarming Bliss Is alright, pretty slow though.

    108 Maidens of Destiny is pretty good as well. One of the better when it comes to actual relationships.

    i know right. HJC is actually on the 'better' end of the CN cultivation harem spectrum.

    Mushoku Tensei had the potential but the long separation trope (and a few others) kinda hurt the story badly imo.

    @Jaythree03 Magika no Kenshi to Shoukan Maou is a pretty solid harem and shares the aspect of being a "true" harem with HJC.

    I’ll check it out! Actually, I’ve just finished reading it because dd4 vol 19 is not yet out. I really like how to relationship progresses. The 3 sisters, even the other wives. I love them all.

    Thanks for the recommendations! It’s just that I want a fully translated finished novel. I’ll check magika.

    i’m just not sure, japanese harem in my experience tend to not marry everyone. (As per anime that I’ve watched) lol but if it’s like hjc where they end up all together, I would love it

    Yes, The harem ends up as a legit 'all together' harem like HJC. it avoids all those 'indecisive beta protag' or bait-and-switch 'just picking one girl' cliches. It's one of my most favourite JP harems simply because it defies the tropes and has the balls to actually have the protag do stuff with his harem.

    complete true harem novels? :hmm: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/hybrid-x-heart-magias-academy-ataraxia/ comes to mind. True Harem ending, tons and tons of ecchi (it's practically borderline hentai) and fully translated at 14 volumes.
    Apart from that, no others come to mind right now that are true harem and fully translated.

    Oukoku e Tsuzuku Michi Well, since people start recommending bordeline hentai, might as well recommand a true hentai novel. It has true harem, MC is the complete oposite of the usual japanese harem MC (meaning that he is not going to get an heart attack just because he copped a feel) and beside the porn, it has a decent story and world building.

    Ohh this is nice. Actually, aside from s*x, i want a real love story. A story like the harem in HjC. S*x of course is always welcome

    Yeaaah, i wouldn't call that love story, it's very crude, i don't know, give it a shot and see how that goes for you.

    Wtf is this kazuki. So pathetic. Always thinking that going to the next level like 69 or bj is not fine. All chances are wasted. Will this continue until the end?

    No, it's just for the first volume thereabouts. Once he's forced to realize that advancing the relationships is the true key to his power, and to help the girls grow as well, he ditches the pathetic beta attitude. He's not a super horny protag who does it whenever but he doesnt avoid ecchi stuff either. It picks up from the second volume
