Dzeeck I know you're trying to troll, but I did actually read an Indonesian writer (a big fan of High School DxD) who wrote a harem story where the protagonist's harem included his own mother (who gave him a handjob in the bath while he was still a seven-year-old kid...or was he four?), his aunt, his cousin (basically his aunt's daughter), his sister, and...a whole load of incest and girls and their mothers.
Your novel is trash if it has harem

Misguided_Rooster Actually, the guy was a reader of mine, and he begged me to edit his story. I agreed, not knowing what I was getting into.
After a couple of chapters, I told him, "No, sorry, I'm not going to edit your story again."

All of these book shouldn't be called Harem (Ottoman called it because it means sacred-ish, but its from the word haram), instead it's should be Haram (forbidden).

Join my Empire, you'll be saved from the harem story. Then... the world
Misguided_Rooster how about Korean?
Shubhangi_Kene oy oy oy .. we are taking about webnovels here ... Why you gotta shift you view there (mythology ) man .. and by the way this harem shit only looks good in fiction .. not in real life never has been .. and by the way most of the harem novels are trash literal trash .. well if you really like some mindless bitches fucking all over that "*************" mc then watch hentai at least it will really make you horny .. bye .. and yeah I hate harem .. (and I am saying this in general)
GegeSadewa What about them?
Tomoyuki Go back to school. You apparently can't form sentences correctly.
YulongYuXianTaiyin Go back to your mental institution. You apparently suffer from a reading disability.
Umm… What was incorrect about her sentence?
There is so much trash grammar around here that there is no need to pick on someone with good (if not perfect) grammar. You would be better off disagreeing with the content on that post, but I also agree with her there.
This whole thread had gone out of control, but at least make correct accusations…

shadowdrake27 Her? I'm a guy, dude.
Also, I was copying YulongYuXianTaiyin's sentence and changing a few words, so he obviously can't see the irony of criticizing me for not being able to form sentences.
His* hard to tell online, my bad there. Either way, not sure what the complaint was about.
shadowdrake27 He was just raging because I called him out on his logic and disagreed with him. And so he was looking for any excuse to bash me.
Tomoyuki "Harem isn't my thing, BUT I'd tell people to stop reading them..."
It should be 'and' or 'so'. If you used 'but', then the first part would have to be "harem is my thing".
Also, 'he'? I'm a female.
And yes, we don't get along. You restarted the thread many days after by responding to mine that didn't need a response. And you have a habit of not only always disagreeing with me, but a big problem with not listening (you've done this to others, too, and I'm sure they noticed at the time). Bashing? You always start it. Whether we're on the same thread or not, I thought we would continue to ignore each other, but you had to pick a fight. Please leave your negativity away from me. Thanks.
P.S., This does not require a response.

Okay, she then. Also, I was being sarcastic and copying your sentence simply to point out that your "brussel sprouts" example don't make sense because no one will consider harem "healthy." Also, obviously it was a typo. I meant "Harem isn't my thing, BUT I'd not tell people to stop reading them." Somehow I forgot the "not" but hey, instead of pointing out if there was a typo or you know, disagreeing or whatever, you decided to attack me. No one bashed you, I certainly didn't. I didn't attack your intelligence, I only disagreed with you. Unlike you, who told me to go back to school. Then only did I respond with an attack of my own.
I didn't pick a fight. I simply pointed out the hole in your logic, but if you consider that "bashing" then you have issues, lady.
I love it, the more posts I read on this thread the more brain cells I lose, wth are you even talking about at this point? :D
- Edited
Happy_AltRight No idea, we're talking about a girl who claims that harem is healthy.
And on the issue of not listening to others, I think she is quite the hypocrite.
I made this thread and even I don't know. Shit, just let them keep going ig.
Misguided_Rooster Do you seriously think it's healthy and wise for Cultivation Chat Group to have harem in it? Because that's what she was arguing, and when I pointed out the hole in her logic, she attacked me.

I mean... no, look at the thread title man...
Misguided_Rooster Exactly. I was standing up for you, man.
O,my bad then lol

I guess so. But these novels don't bother to elaborate on whether they intend to make it a polyamorous relationship or not. Harem is almost always defined as the MC having a plethora of female love interests. And the MC never bothers to choose one because he can't "bear to break the other women's hearts," which is a cop-out.
Why must those women have to share the same man while the man does not allow the women to indulge themselves with other men? Does that even make sense?
And in most cases, the author indicates that the women are fine with sharing the man because they feel that the man "cannot possibly be limited to one woman". And to that... Why? Why do they have such low self-esteem, and why do these so-called morally upright MCs take advantage of these women with such low self-esteem?
Junior_Sundar
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
Happy_AltRight
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'.
a month later
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.
