  • Anyone else dislikes the majority of current harem novels? Cause I do.

Tomoyuki

You're actually kind of right about this. The most popular guys at my school were nice people, good looking, and or trend setters. I think people think really have a falsified conception of what it means to be a leading figure.

I think it also ties into the people reading the novel. Most people reading these harem/escapism novels have no clue how to act socially, and that ties into why they think respecting women is useless because even if they respect women, they still can't get in their pants. The problem is that if you're only respectful to women just to get into their pants, or skirts, or whatever, you're not actually being respectful.

Actual "alpha males" (in quotes, because the term is a social construct and was based on wolves, only to find out alpha wolves don't even exist), are people who are confident in themselves and don't feel the need to fit in the pack because they lead the pack. Some people really think that by following the pack, doing the same thing as everyone else, by being physically abusive, they're being alpha. And by calling every "feminine" thing "beta", they're being alpha.

Which shows they don't have confidence in themselves, or rather, maybe they have an inflated ego, but if they do anything outside that carefully constructed image, they'll shatter. No one is 100% strong all the time. We can put a strong image to comfort others, but if you're "acting Strong" because you wanna "look strong", are ya really?

I personally think that yes, we shouldn't cry about every little thing, but it's ok to acknowledge that we are upset, and work on ourselves to be better. And putting other people down doesn't make me better than anyone else.

    I will come and go in this thread.
    The only harem story that I like and accept the mist is...
    The world god only knows.
    This is some nice shit!! Trust me!! But, I recommend to watch first, second, and third season on anime first than continue to manga from the start. Just, ignore the ova. Also, I don't really recommend watching 3rd season until you finished the manga. That's all.

      Carciphones_02 there's an ova? What is it about?
      I already read the manga till the end. And then watch the anime season 1,2,3.
      Don't really like the end of the manga since I still want more of it. And kinda upset with the anime since they cannot tell the story of all the girls from the manga. Too many just short "screenshot". 😒

          GegeSadewa Original video animation. Often a spin-off that wasn't broadcasted in the televised version, and direct to video. I assume it's fanservice and has nothing to do with the manga (so original content not related to the main story). Probably episode in the beach and stuff like that.

              The worst novel plots for me is transmigration when the girl gets transmigrated into another world, they realize that they have been transmigrated immediately, there is no element of shock, disbelief or them trying to go back to their world, it annoys me how they quickly understand what had happened when in reality, no one will be able to believe that the got transmigrated into another world, and the most annoying part is when they understand the memory of the body they have taken, I feel like authors should put themselves into the character's shoes and try to be realistic sometimes.

                prettydimple Well, my opinion about MC who did not act what real person would do when they met such situation, there are two ; one, if I'm looking for a story thats reasonable realistic, then I would feel upset. Two, if I'm just looking for stuff to read, especially fiction that is not representably of reality, I would not mind since those are mostly portray of characters that is out of this world normal occurences.
                So it all come down into what we are really looking for and what we are hope for/what we want to get from a story. If we dont like a story, I guess its time for us to move on and look for other acceptable story. 😐

                    GegeSadewa I agree with your point but there are times when things should make sense and when they shouldn't, such stories should at least take at least two or three days for the MC to understand but they understand as soon as they wake up, it is not even about reality but sense, but yeah....if you don't like it the novel
                    then move on.

                        GegeSadewa well.. in my home, in other to watch anime, I usually search through youtube. And I don't really know what echhi means that time, but the world god only knows is one of the few animes I really like. Seconds to that is bimbougami ga. the only two anime that bring me to this world.

                            prettydimple I agree with you. At first, I really like this kind of plot. But, after a long time, I feel like this kind of thing is overused. The plot can be too rushed, especially if it was a manga. Most novel too... So, I've been searching for transmigration story that's different. But, it was not enough, because I don't have any interest in romance(harem and the like). So, after a very long time of searching and feeling unsatisfied, I've started to write my own story. Things has been going great, at Least for me... Wahhahahahahaha...

                              Carciphones_02 Yeah, luckily we could find some anime to watch on youtube. And with youtube policy, the most we could get is echhi and not straight up hentai/porn. That at least perhaps reasonable enough for kids.
                              prettydimple Hmmm, we do sometimes found some story that we like (at the start) but along the way we also found some part of it that we dont like, it make upset, even wondering why it could happen/why it changes into something different like that, etc. I think because every story author is also human, they also have their own life and problem and sometimes those could affect and/or change the story that they are making. Its good if they could make it better, but also a pity if its not. We can only hope for the best, or try to make our own best. πŸ˜‰

                                    GegeSadewa True!!! I've always feels like that whenever I read manhwa or manhua. At first, I really like the synopsis and the original Idea,or the plot. But, after many chapters around 40-60 like that, the plot started to become not what I expected. I guess, I just put my expectations too high, but, the comic is still good, It's just not as good as the first time I read it. The reason could be because the villain can be too stupid, and it could be because the MC moral is not in line with my moral. I can't force the author to change the plot, but I can't also change my moral to continue enjoying the comic either so, I chose to stop reading it.

                                        GegeSadewa

                                        It's been said that 'the story that you can't find is the one you should write.'

                                            GegeSadewa I've already done that!!! Wahahahahahah I've published three books despite the slow updates, at least a new step has been taken.⁽⁽ଘ( ΛŠα΅•Λ‹ )ଓ⁾⁾
