someone needed to say all this lol
That's cause most of harem only have 2 purposes.
1 making the MC seem awesome, like a super strong beautiful special prideful intelligent and strong again woman falls for the MC and out of nowhere she turns into a weakass that depends on him for everything even if she is still technically strong she can never be as strong as him.
2 fan service. They fill an at most ok story with panties shot, overly big tits and overdefined female bodies to gather enough readers...
As reverse doesn't need those the focus enough on plot and personalities... it's kinda like why woman are not usually into po*n... it's dumb, nonsensical, fake and just a way to stroke male egoes... ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Haven’t read the light novel, but the comments said there would be harem. I normally don’t mind harem IF the girls have ACTUAL PERSONALITIES. Not just idiotic damsel in distress bimbos OR looking for someone stronger than me partners BULLSHIT (so if he is stronger than you but has a shitty or abusive attitude, that’s okay? That is STUPIDITY JUICE in her brain) I enjoy reverse harem more than harem because the guys in reverse harem actually have personalities and can think with their own fucking minds. Tina can think for herself, that’s an A okay for me for now.
This manga reminds of another manga, Tsuyokute new Saga. I mean being confronted with your first love that never manifested to dating because you know, she died and your future lover can make you confused on where your affection lies to.
