I see, well thank you for clarifying. I've been reading this manga since like chapter 10 and I read some of the light novel since the updates were sorta slow and I started to lose interest when I saw how many wives he had. I just wish authors would make more male mcs indifferent to romance because more often than not it ruins the story.
For those worried about it becoming harem don't be. I believe the novel becomes harem or has more romance in it during the side stories not the main story. Also some of the occurrences that had romance have been taken out of here so it seems. For instance, when Seol first meets Hugo in the novel they meet on a carriage to Haramark (it's Hallmark in the manhwa for some reason) and Hugo gets a bj from some women on the ride there. Also after Seol successfully kills the Medusa in the novel the princess kisses him rather than hugs him. So just tryna say they maybe omitting or changing some of the romance related scenes. I've read to about the halfway point of the novel and the so-called "romance" hasn't really interfered with the story so all this to say you should be good continuing to read it.
