Hey,
Again: Thanks a lot for all this input. I'll try to respond to everything here, if i forgot something, please let me know :x
RachelRuth maybe, as you said yourself, it hasn't many chapters jet to say anything. I'll try to remember it and if its progressed a little i may give it a try. IF the genre is fitting then.
Fanjo Thanks! After your explanation i started to read Romantic Cultivator two days ago. I am around chapter 58 now and i totally agree with your opinion. I was slightly annoyed by the "forced drama" of him not telling the girls who he is because of his stupid beard. BUT i was really happy that every woman figured out who he was. Overall i really like that all the girls are smarter/stronger as him, but at the same time he isn't totally useless/dump either. For the future i just hope for little more fluff and more time together (together with the girls, because atm he goes from place to place, always "finding" a new woman, but the other girls are left behind).
Really looking forward to it tho =D
SecretWolf as i said above, yeah i really enjoy Romantic Cultivator xD thanks. And regarding the other novels, don'T worry. I just have some problems when girls are treated badly. I KINDA can deal with it if they aren't really well developed because if i couldn't i'd have even less to read, but if they just feel like "pleasure dolls" and treaded badly i get really pissed and can't read stuff like that at all.
GegeSadewa Leporidere BoobLover is mostly right, i highly prefer harem setting because i just like the "family" side of it and everyone being able to stay together happily.
Regarding Manga general; So far i haven't read any mangas since i always preferred flow text. If you have any long and fitting mangas i'm really happy about any recommendations. But it would be great if you could give me some key marks what the manga is about and what i can expect xD
Regarding Highschool DxD... i am not such a big fan of the mc... super pervert but at the same time also super dense and not really accepting any romantic approaches at all... supper annoying japanese archetype. And I already know Mushouku Tensei
FunnyBuns Regarding the first part: Let me split Illicit and Prime Vampire in two different parts.
Illicit: I was told to read past chapter 30 and i actually even did read into chapter 50 or so because at that time i had nothing else to read. Overall i understood the Idea of the novel and even the romance was... "ok". It wasn't only sex, he cared for the girls at least to some degree and the girls had different personality's. The only thing that was just "bad" (personal opinion) was, that the incest relationship wasn't questioned at all. I get why he wouldn't mind. But at least his mother and aunt would have some thoughts of it. I don't say that they should come to the result that its bad and stop it. But there should be some explanation about how they think, why they're doing it or ANYTHING like that.
But overall at the end i dropped the story because it just wasn't my cup. The only thing i thought was cute was, that his mother and aunt care so much about each other. That was fluffy. Beside that it was just to much "fuck boy" attitude and "capturing/wooing girls".
Regarding Prime Vampire: First and foremost: I was really disgusted by how the mc treated girls only for his pleasure. He was ruthless and treated them just terrible, wanting to just fuck them as soon as possible and as rough as possible while all of them never had sex before... Thats just a disgusting character that i really dislike.
BESIDE that, the novel had several other big problems. But as you said, new author and they all can improve. I actually wrote quite a long and detailed review after the last chapter i've read. And i didn't put it in the official review section, because i didn't want to give a very negative rating. I just wanted to point out my personal opinion and actually had a short chat with the author.
But i'm quite sure i will never pick up that novel again. I was really disgusted by the mc. Treating girls like that, only caring about his own pleasure... i have a hard time dealing with this attitude... i require more fluff ;)
So in short: I can deal with a rough start and lagging development of characters early on. But if the mc only cares about himself and treating girls badly and/or using them only for sex, i don't want the girl end up with him (because i personally can't imagine that they will find happiness with him) and then its pointless to continue reading.
Regarding your recommendations: After what i said above, what kind of rough start has Prime Originator?
What you said about separation; Separation for me is more like "lost contact for many yeas, not sure if ever see again" thing. Its ok as backstory, but if its occurring in the novel itself, i dislike it a lot. I prefer if the "group" stays together and spend time with each other, but its fine if he leaves sometimes to do "stuff" AS LONG as the other girls don't fade away (those harems were new girls join every minute and at the same time most of the "old" girls are never mentioned again really suck).
