Yeah, that's one of the few things that kills the Harem gerne for me.
It would be one thing if it was just like the four girls/boys/whatever. And if their personalities were actually delvoped, and if they actually made you wonder if the MC would end up in a monogamous relationship or go straight for the Harem route.
This way it would have the pull of, say, the bachelor show (which my mom loves watching) where you wonder which girl the MC will end up with. A good romance story with well-delvoped characters would definitely fuel shipping wars that way, ya know? where there would be a lot of discussion like, "Kiley is best girl. if the MC doesn't end up with her then the MC is blind, that's all I'm gonna say." and "Kiley? pfft. disagree, Sammy is the best one out of them all. gonna love a punk girl who can kick ass but can cook at the same time."
and so on forth.
But when all the women and young girls suddenly love the MC for no seemingly good reason, even if they're only background characters? Something about that gives me the creeps.
It's giving me heartbreaker (character from worm) vibes. or maybe Nice Guy (also another character from worm).
like it doesn't feel natural at all... and that he has a cheat power where everyone just loves him.
