guys pls, no catfight. Its ok if you aren't happy with his view of your novel, and its also ok to actually have that opinion on the novel. Just let it rest. You both aren't really working to a resolution of it with your discussion here xD

    Nebel Yeah I'm going to stop as he doesn't even seem to realize what he is saying wrong. I'm not faulting him for it but he clearly doesn't understand, again it is probably a language barrier that is causing it.

      Nebel
      NP - based on your comments I will give you an overview and heads-up for some things to expect.

      Minor Spoilers

      The Sinful Life of The Emperor - MC starts of distant and not seeking romantic relationship and just enjoyment. (although he treats them well) - Slowly things change for him and so do the relationships. MC has a sad childhood and has two sides to him. One a reserved gentleman and the other a wild womanizer. I don't want to give too much as it could be a spoiler to the story. Fluffy romance is expected after some reading, but romance is present in the beginning too. (The whole 'stealing' other's women is unique and I am not really sure how you would feel about it. I would suggest taking a comedic mindset to it.)

      Psychic Inventor of Cultivation World - Starts off a bit erratic, and missing comma/full stops at times (if you are affected by that). the top point for me was the ideas and the plot which was unique and took an interesting approach to the genre. As for romance, the base of forming a loving relationship was there but MC does not make it official/advance for a while. (This is mainly because of uncertainties in future and a possible separation). Later ++ in the story when MC establishes solid footing he no longer holds back.

      Trash Techniques are Actually PRetty Efficient.- You can expect Japanese style MC in terms of romance, (people fall for him but he does not notice much of it.) His relationship with FL is good and there are fun and some quirky moments. (In my personal opinions some comedic actions are not to my taste.) (Still plenty of good stuff.)

      If you find any of the other ones interesting or need my opinion of them, let me know.

        Nebel Hmmm... yes, I already read till the end of those 3 novel. But I already kinda forget the detailed because its been quite some time ago I've finish reading them. I'll try to inform what I could. But sorry if it become spoiler.
        All three of them ends with MC together with his Harem, and the harem is happy. They start they family, and for sad moment there are some event that we think its a loss and/or betrayal, but actually they are not, only if we could read past the event and found out the real reason behind those happening. Its actually very relieving.
        Um, sorry for my bad english.
        The harem did not start near the beginning of the story but even quite far/some time after them.
        Ling Tian even start from MC before birth, and then he when baby, childhood, cant really expect him to woo ladies when he is less than 10 years old, cant we? 😅
        MMORPG Guardian already have someone from the start that the MC target for, but even after quite some time in the story, the MC has not re-meet that particular person. Haha, the quirkiness for someone who turn back in time a few years even before their first met.
        Shura.... well, from the start MC know the family is not MC real family, so I guess its just a matter of time the feeling change into a different kind of relationship. Not incest.
        Im a male reader and perhaps my sense of romance are not really that developed, but I still like the interaction between the MC and his harem.

          Hey,

          @Leporidere I Just finished reading The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You.
          It was really really fluffy as you've said and i actually enjoyed it quite a lot. But i think i shouldn't have read it in one go. I don't know if all mangas are like that, but i just miss a good story progression. The story felt very... "episodic". Everything just happend, every 1-3 "chapters" was one event that got finished but there was no overall progress (beside the harem getting bigger). So it was a great and super fluffy read, but i think its better to just read one or two chapters in one go for some fluff and happiness. The story overall wasn't that good because it just lagged some deeper reasoning and realism (it was just crazy xD ) As i said, i'm not used to manga, so maybe thats the problem here :x i still had a really fun read tho =D

          Thanks for the detailed information SecretWolf !
          The Sinful Life of The Emperor --> I think it will depend heavly on how and why he steals them. If the girls are unhappy in the previous relationship and/or he honestly want to stay together with them and cares for them, i probably won't mind it. If its like that start of Stealing Sprea, just stealing girl for sex and don't really caring about them, i probably gonna hate the mc and won't continue reading

          Trash Techniques are Actually PRetty Efficient - it only has 90 chapters, so i may wait little longer to see how the romance/harem actually develops before i start reading with those japanese dense mc's i always fear, that there won't be a happyend for every girl :x

          Psychic Inventor of Cultivation World - can you tell me how long it approximately takes till the romance/harem really starts? Is it just like 50 chapters, or do i have to wate for 300+ chapters before i get some fluff? :x Regarding the story, i guess i just have to try it and see if i'm as exited about it as you =D

          GegeSadewa thanks to you as well! And don't apologise for your English! We aren't native speaker and not everyone is great with languages. As long as everyone can understand us, who cares? =D At least thats what i'm going for personally :x
          Sorry if i have to ask again, but in MMORPG Guardian, is there any "other" love interest before her? If i have to wait till he meets her again, i'm fine with that. But it would be little sad if i have to read without any romance till then :x and how long do I have to wait for this old romance? Like half the book? Or till the last few chapters?
          Shura's Wrath also sounds quite fun to read, i'm not really sure if i would enjoy Legend of Ling Tian so much tho.

            Nebel MMORPG ; of course there will be other new girls come into the MC life even before MC could supposely meet his "destined" girl. This will be quite a heavy spoiler, but actually the MC and his "fiancee" are going to.... well, maybe you could try reading it yourself? Kinda like a plot twist or something? Another spoiler here ; the lady that the MC slept with before his death on the previous turn when he is drunk and heartbroken, of course he gonna "save" her too.
            For Ling Tian, it could be quite long before MC together with his harem, but I think the first member is cute and fluffy enough with the MC only. If with other characters beside MC, she is very cold.
            Shura.... well, after the sadness and the disappointment of the betrayal near the ending was given good reason for me to accept and understand it. I guess happy moments could really be appreciated if we could overcome the unhappy moments. 😁

              Spoilers
              The Sinful Life of The Emperor --> Well it is hard to say that he steals them, it is like flings, but also more then that, it is hard to describe it. He mostly trys to win their heart and romances them. Plus the "stealing" is a part of it, as there are also normal romances and harem which is the main focus of the story. It is not like stealing spree as it is not about stealing but more about mutual fun, if it makes sense.

              Trash Techniques are Actually Pretty Efficient - It is always hard to predict that, you are right.

              Psychic Inventor of Cultivation World - The start of the story is not focused on the romance so you get short intervals of romance development, I can't say for sure but I think at around 100 chapters is where you get some fluff (Sorry don't remember how long each event took). BTW the story is SiFi+Cultivation+System, a bit laid back if that is something you like. :)

                And already a week has passed
                At the moment i'm reading MMORPG: Rebirth of the Legendary Guardian, it is a kinda fun read. Everything sad mainly only happens to NPC's so i'm fine with it. But the romance is REALLY slow (already close to 300 chapters into the story) and it's got this typical Chinese "most woman are gold digger" and/or just "objects/accessories for men" vibe. Its quite annoying, but for Chinese author it's still kinda mild, so i can deal with it.

                But i think i will pause it for a moment now. Its really a VERY long story and with the lag of romance, the game elements are getting little boring right now. But i'll definitely continue at some point.

                @Dyrem A friend of mine started reading Stealing Spree and really urged me to read it Since he really treated the girls well even if he didn't had feelings for them, and later starts to really care for the girls as well... combined with the fact, that he probably gonna end up with all girls he had a "relationship" with before... --> IF that's all true, it may solve my bad feeling with him just "using the girls" and they never get mentioned again... so i may give it a try...

                GegeSadewa thanks =D as i said, i already started reading MMORPG About Shura... i know what you mean when you talk about "overcome the unhappy moments"... but i'm just bad with sad stuff :x

                SecretWolf The Sinful Emperor and Psychic Inventors both sound quite good, thanks

                Hey,
                Just finished reading "Stealing Spree" after a "friend" of mine urged me to give it another chance and to read past chapter 30. It's still little twisted and some slightly dark things that i don't really want to overthink, but overall it really was a great read with sole focus on the relationship, romance and the harem. I really enjoyed it.
                If you are little sensible with sad stuff and you despise the mc, may give it another try till chapter ~25 and if you are kind ok then but not fully convinced, there is another improvement before chapter 100.

                On the other hand, i've tried some other novels on the list but couldn't really get enthusiastic about any of them. I guess that's just a temporary thing tho... I may just enjoy a bigger focus on romance atm. and most of those novels only had romance/harem as a "small" sub-genre.

                Soooo.... in case you have again any recommendations for me (still same genre; Not so sad, harem, romance, 50+ chapters) i would be really greatfull =D school and/or modern setting would be great, but everything else (fantasy, cultivation, isekai,...) is totally fine as well

                Oh, and i wouldn't mind Manga recommendations at all if they are fitting xD I'm totally inexperienced with mangas so i may need some more information there, but i really want to give this stile a chance i've only read 2 mangas so far; "The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You" and "Kanojo mo Kanojo" i enjoyed both, but both have been quite short and only focused on comedy without anything else :x

                  Heyho,
                  Hope you had nice a nice Christmas or at least some nice free days =D

                  Just wanted to ask if someone would have another recommendation for me :x
                  (Still the same, not sad, harem, 50+ chapters // mangas would be fine to)

                  Over the last two weeks i tried to search on my own, but wasn't that successful. I stumbled over "The Incubus System" and it was actually quite a nice read after a difficult start. I like those modern settings and it actually reminded me a little bit of Stealing Spree. Sadly that also only occupied me for like 2 days xD

                  So, if anyone has some nice recommendations, i would be really grateful

                    Nebel Here's a bump! I hope someone recommends you a good harem story :) I took my own writing break heh so I won't promote mine again sweatdrops

                      RachelRuth thanks RachelRuth I hope so too, but i fear there isn't much interesst in my thread anymore :x

                      And as long as you don't plan to drop you novel i think you still can promote your own stories if they are fitting. Taking some days off over Christmas should be totally fine

                        Nebel Well, I usually read already completed story (also with completed translation if there are any), so I just have to search completed story, with Harem tag, in novelupdates(dot)com, read the synopsis, read some of the review, and then start binge reading, give judgement after reading the whole series. Lol

                          Fanfiction, lotsa R18 but it does have some moments whereby the MC (Naruto) actually shows his care for the women in his harem. So it's almost like Dual Cultivation, but with a bit more feeling. Not sure if it's your cup of tea but this is the only harem I came across that was remotely 'fluffy'.

                          Generally, I don't like harem so that's not saying much. /heh
