Do you prefer the harems to be a society thing or just main character?
Finishing up my novel, just in the final chapter before I do a month break before editing.
But as I was writing, I decided to make harem a more like… everyone CAN if they wish. It’s a whole thing but society accepts Harem.
Though that made me think… I read harem novels where the main male character are the only ones that get harem.
Some like Warlock or Return of High Mage where a specific people gets it but obviously it’s just a handful
Series like Herald of Shalia where it’s accepted but MMC is the major one.
Or Arsenal Bond where it’s accepted by society as polyamory.
The novel I am working on it’s basically just part of society. Obviously there is spectrums of it. I bet some of you would like it to be essential to the society compared to others.
All that said, as a reader or even writer, what is your preference of how harems apply to a harem lit novel. If you have written a book, talk about how you wrote it in (if it isn’t a spoiler you are uncomfortable sharing). Or readers, what are ways you wish a story to integrate a harem?
