This! I always wondered why not. If harem, why not a polyamorous one? Isn't it more interesting if everyone is into everyone and all the girls have fun with eachother?
It certainly sounds cooler than a bunch of girls and some boring unattractive dude who can't pick who he likes. Someone really needs to write this. A harem like this would be great!
Damn... that would break the immersion though, if I'm reading about a guy with a harem fighting against the world and then it suddenly becomes an orgy, tf am I to do? 
Happy_AltRight I would've love it

His harem already breaks the immersion lol... might as well have a fun harem. The world probably won't be saved in the end but at least he goes out in a bang 
Dzeeck Life isn't only about dual-cultivation (in an orgy it would probably be quintuple-cultivation or even more, like ....sextuple-cultivation 
) young Daoist, it's about support, love (for the country), and many other things under the heavens. There is no place for happiness on the road to immortality.
EternalNightLotus No it doesn't, the women (harem members) never do Xing (/jack) shit, they just get into trouble and force the HPOC (horny piece of shit -> ML) to save them, so it doesn't break the immersion that the HPOC is fighting against the world alone. 
True
A great majority of stories on here are trash without involving harems at all.
That said, it's not the topic, but the writing/story that defines if a story is good or not. I, personally, dislike the way that Webnovel, and other's of a similar ilk, encourage authors to churn out stories as fast as possible. This simply encourages bad writing.
Even if I write a novel normally, it needs work once done. Sometimes I change something in the story which means I should go back and edit something from earlier. WN's format means that editing/proofreading is almost discouraged, lowering the quality of even the few decent reads on here for the most part.
Yes, before you ask, I have a couple of books on here, but one was fully written beforehand, and the other I've been writing as a spoof, although it's turned out quite well, if I say so myself. That being said, the version on here is basically a first draft. Once it's done, I will be going through it, editing, re-writing it to make it properly 'readable'.
Misguided_Rooster you said majority of chinese and jap has them. How about Korean?
No clue ig since I haven't read much korean
Misguided_Rooster I've read some Korean novel. Usually they did not have harem. But there are also quite plenty of them that has Harem. Mostly from the author Toika. And they are not trash eventhough those novel has harem. 
EternalNightLotus Are there now 50 shades of harem novels? lol
I believe some people dislike the trope, not because of the quality of interactions or poor execution, but simply because it's overused. That, and there's quite a few SJW's who lead crusades against it (if you want to see what I mean, just spend 20 mins on an anime/manga-related Twitter timeline). The former of is kind of short-sighted, and I'll get into why in a minute.
For me personally, it's neither here nor there. It's kinda just there, like one of those weird china dolls that your mother or grandmother keeps in the attic from their childhoods (my mother has one, hence why I'm making this oddly specific comparison).
But what I hate to see is when an author who has a perfectly good story, fleshed out with well-thought-out characters and plot lines, decides to switch gears and drive the plot into the ground by adding in a harem, out of left field. If you're going to have a harem, it needs to be at least alluded to and integrated into the plot early on. Harems for the sake of harems is baloney.
Though if you're me, you don't even go into harem territory with your stories. That's the safer option.
