lynerparel well, some of the no harem dudes hate the fact that harem stories get retarded later and only tend to focus on girls at some moments.
Well, I think that most of the no-harem dudes are girls that like your story. I don't read yours so I don't know.
Meh, you're writing this story, not the reader. Do whatever you want; if you chase after stones, you'll only end up dead inside.
lynerparel I also would suggest you to 'ask' Webnovel's Editor. Webnovel has 'the' graph about your novel's demographic for Female and Male readers. As @Gyihhuhu_ said, female readers will matter in this case. Most male non-harem just don't like too many girls throwing to an MC.
WN could also give input based on Qidian's novels whether going to harem or not is better. This is one of the advantages having a contract. They have statistic, millions even. They would give you a better view of your plan (How many your readers is male? female?). I also believed if you change your 'outline' you have to discuss it with WN.
PS: Congratulations for your contract!
Updated: Lol! Your Novel appeared in Ladies' Pick! Don't go harem!!!
MasterRabbink Trevon is gonna be a wizard, isn't he?
Off-topic:
Water0202020 No Way! This Rabbink won't give him free 'lesson' for magical lesson.
However, he still has 13 years before he could become wizard! Nevertheless, look at him, if he is half cool like Alexander, probably he would get it faster.
Gyihhuhu_ Give the potential harem members a reason to love your protagonist beyond "the story demands it!"
Several volume ahead will make him into a 'lovable' man. Gwahahaha. (Evil laught)
Listen to your inner heart and choose the genre
- but give a heads up to the reader.
You can create poll and link it to the author's thoughts. People who are serious about your novel will vote on it.
Water0202020 Did that at some point, the answer was they were equal, which is why I fear if I pick a side half of my fanbase will disappear.
lynerparel create a small two girl harem with equal priority on both. Make readers attached to their ship till they are reluctant to let one go
.
make it one wife, one girlfriend, one mistress and a one-night stand :P
Water0202020 Hahaha I'm already doing that. That's why I'm asking this question now, since I'm at the verge of adding one more girl, but unsure if I should do so.
lynerparel Add one if you are sure of harem. Or else, it may be shudders nisekoi(my onoderaaaaa and yui neee-channn).
If it will not be harem, kill the non-fav girl in a emotional way which can literally make readers cry
lynerparel No. Else your story will just one conquer and another. Think whether the new girl will add something to the MC's life. If it is, then add. If it isn't then don't.
Sakura vs Hinata or Orihime vs Rukia is a legendary fight in Japanese novel.
EroMaster No.
A man who had 'three wives and four concubines' was considered a very successful person in those times.

Water0202020 wow that's actually a nice idea, if my work wasn't a comedy... Well I guess even comedies have some tragedy in them
lynerparel This Rabbink is on the verge of deleting Adopted Soldier from its library...
MasterRabbink I don't think your examples where ever really love rivals of any kind. Master I think it's just that the mc has slight feelings for the other that made them think they are love rivals even though they aren't.
MasterRabbink Why MASTER!!!! Please don't why!!!!
lynerparel No. The readers who think that. The MC is loving the one they get married into.
MasterRabbink ok master anything you say, just don't remove my work from your library. 
lynerparel master rabbink can't handle tragedy.
Water0202020 oh ok that explains a lot.
For me, Harem is one of my favourite genres. Harem can be done wrong or it can be done right. To make the MC and the girls have personality is the most important thing possible! In JP anime (monster Masamune) it is legit fucked up with the point of being unwatchable with my preference. It has a story, but it never shows why the girls love him so much. There is only one explanation: He is a girl magnet. WTF?
I hate JP harems because they never truly try to make you understand what good and what bad qualities a person has. The writer will be lazy and say something like: He is a good person, high morals and quite intelligent. But the question is, the people those protagonists flirt with are all high ranking members of society! They have everything. Why did the fall for this stupid piece of crap protagonist?
The way to do a harem is to build foundations for the Female harem members. I think My Wife is a Beautiful Ceo does that quite well. They should all have at least an actual reason to find the protagonist interesting instead of: Yeh, he is a good persona and has nice looks.
Harems can be fudged over too easily like this. I won't say that the book I have written has done what I said. It is harder to put the knowledge into context.
So, if you want a harem. You will be fucked in every way possible... I have nearly never seen a harem story that stays well until the end. The Divine Throne of Primordial blood had a harem but the poor guy had to abandon it because his main Female Lead nearly went crazy because of it.
The conclusion is: If you want to be fucked, then go with a harem. If you want a story that will not have a stupid plot and be a bit serious, then go without a harem.
