Title essentially, with slow-burn I mean that the tempo of the harem building should be slower, like 1-2 per book, not necessarily slower story.

With zero-to-hero I mean that MC should start out as nothing special but get better (whether that be fighting/magic/social skills/what have you is secondary, as long as it's central-ish to the story) throughout the story/series.

Other qualities I'm looking for:

• Well written
• (If applicable) Good worldbuilding
• Good character interactions/good banter.

Qualities I'm not looking for, but not dealbreakers:

• LitRPG (Dealbreaker if heavily used/central)
• 'Chosen one'
• Too much time/words dedicated to spice scenes, around 10% seems to be the sweet spot for me.
• Women throwing themselves at MC for no good reason.
