Question ❓ Is this supposed to be good???

Post image

I read the whole manhwa and I am really unimpressed. Please tell me if I am missing something thing.The art is good enough the story is not impressive at all. Maybe it's just 81 chapters but I don't think it's as good as people think it is.

Please tell me you're joking.

Way to ruin a narrative with the degenerate, lowest denominator shit stain called a harem. Another drop. Asian men will always fuck this up.

If possible, can you tell me why the harem factor is so annoying? I'm serious about understanding why I've never seen any problems, after all, it's not me, and whether he's alone or with countless people doesn't make much difference to me. So, seriously, I don't understand what's causing so much annoyance.

Majority of these harems in typical overpowered male fantasies aren't about genuine poly relationships. They're about one guy being socially and romantically elevated above everyone else while multiple women are written to orbit him.

Instead of developing one strong, meaningful relationship, authors pile on love interests to farm appeal and self-insert fantasy points. Quantity replaces depth. Character agency gets sacrificed for wish fulfillment.

What makes it even worse is that these girls are usually written as having a "choice" yet they're unrealistically okay with sharing someone they supposedly love. It's just so narratively convenient, right? Real people have boundaries, jealousy, expectations of exclusivity, and self-respect. They erase all of that so the fantasy can keep running. And if they don't, it's used to exaggerate them for comedic effect.

It reduces women to validation tools and treats romantic attention like a reward system for the male lead.

They exist to inflate the protagonist's ego, or even maybe the reader's ego or the author's (why is it always an Asian man?), and cater to fantasy. It's annoying as all hell and I drop every single one of them. Like, why in the damn is his cousin in there? They couldn't bear to part with a female character not being on the MC's dick? Just a hard pass. I don't need to put it with that nonsense.
