I personally don’t like the harem genre (male or female) because 90% of the time the mcs are Mary sue coded (idk what the male equivalent is, Gary Stu?). Like the story claims they’re just ur “average nobody” but at the same time they’re somehow good at everything they do and they manage to get hordes of hot guys/gals running after them for seemingly no reason? I’ve seen harem works where the mcs a girl boss or a damsel in distress but the Mary sue element stays the same. I mean ofc there are bound to be exceptions but I personally haven’t ran into any so that’s what the image of the genre as a whole looks like to me ╮(￣▽￣)╭
i read somewhere in this site that some people dont like harems because the FLs often dont deserve the hot guys and the harem. so i got curious, what makes a FL deserving of a harem? do they need to be the girl boss? the absolute damsel in distress that needs more than one knight in shining armor??? whats the general rule??
