Shiny_Shirogane But what happened afterwords was that many readers complaining in the comments sections spouting hate and saying that an MC that the story is stupid because its not harem. To them it was illogical for a cultivation setting to not have a harem.

Honestly, you should ignore them. It's your story, not theirs. If they don't like a non-harem cultivation story, they can go read a harem cultivation story somewhere else. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of harem cultivation stories out there, why the f are they not reading those? Why force a non-harem story to become a harem story that it's not?

Carve out your niche, be the story that stands out from the others by being different. If they want harem, introduce them to the hundreds of harem stories out there, but they have no right and no business telling you how to write your story.

You got pressured into writing something you didn't want to. Your reader base is disgusting, and you have no backbone. Writing, to translated authors and a lot of 'originals', is 100% about money.

As an author, write what you want to write. No one can stop you. But, you should always understand - Certain things will make your novel trash.

I'm only bringing up one or two things right now. I won't even go into depths the sheer amount of problems both original and translated have. Why is that? Exactly because of what you just said.

Readers want this, authors give, it's a buisness. And, a pretty bad one at that.

All I'm saying is, write to write, not for money. Because this will 100% make your book... Biased? Bland? Stupid? Too many things.

If you've read on here for a while you should have a general idea of what I mean. Just a bit of research will also help.

lol, I'll stop here, I don't want to make this more of a rant.

Tomoyuki Exactly. Exactly.

Don't let toxic readers influence you. These are the type of people with the IQ of a baby cockroach. Don't let them infest your house because you let them in.

I understand that perfectly, but there are a lot of problems with this here. Money will turn a 500 chapter novel into 4 thousand.

I just want people to understand the various factors that ruin many novels, the leading cause being money and something else.

If you want money, go ahead and make money. Just know, if you let it influence your book too much, well..

Misguided_Rooster So, the problem is not the harem, but situation and condition has make it into trash for the people that dislike harem?

I'm bored. What's your favorite color? You said Green? Fuck green

I actually never understood the concept of harem, neither have I sticked around to read any. And neither have I written any, I don't give a damn what others say about my book. It's mine and mine alone

GegeSadewa I don't know if what I wrote is confusing, my bad. But, the problem is both the harem and how it came about.

Misguided_Rooster Well, I still think the problem is how it came about. Because eventhough I like harem, there are still alot of harem story I did not like because of how bad the harem is.

Well, in the end it's just a lot of isms that create harem.

Yep, novels are ruined by harems. Just sexism, wish fullfilment and greed. If only western authors made their books longer, I would read more of those instead.

Misguided_Rooster Hmmm, does that mean western authors did not make harem story at all?

I have yet to not get a skeezy vibe from harem novels. Definitely wish fulfillment and fan service. That's one of the aspects of the Wheel of Time series that I absolutely hated...

GegeSadewa
No, it's just there are a lot of good ones without harem. Unlike chinese or jap where the majoirty pretty much have it.

Misguided_Rooster I agree with you thou even my novel has harem in it but I don't take harem that way, I just want to show how many people admire the FL and yeah my novel doesn't have any 16 or 18+ scene

Trash to some is masterpiece to others.
It's not like authors don't understand what they're writing, it's because they do that they write them. It is the way they make a living. Would you gamble and write something that might or might not hit or would you write something you're sure about? In the end, it is all business.

SlaveOfTheLord
yep, ik, I said that in other posts. which is why I made this post.

if every harem novel you read is trash novel then that means you are either
A:close minded
B:you read only trash novels they were trash and you blamed it on harem
solution read some good novels

Misguided_Rooster can't it just be there for comedy tho?
Example: Mc being a hothead who goes around copping feels and no one bothers him about it. Most he gets is getting knocked unconscious Every time he squeezes a chicks ass… then plot armor makes all those girls fall for him
