Why is it that manga with the harem tag are (almost) always immediately bad, but that there are good reverse harem manga ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    Males in reverse harem manga actually have personality and are well developed characters whereas Females in harems are usually motivated and cultivated to what they think the guy desires. Their motivations are mostly instigated by the male and have shallow or cliche motivations to be with male.

    They’re are portrayed as meat sacks and collectibles that are shaped to what the men want which removes the immersion and desire to look deeper at the character.

    Plus if the male mc doesn’t see as that character as important most likely the readers will look away too, there’s not much screen time with female harem members which means no character development.

    Hxsjnshs these are my thoughts I just want to rant how frustrating writers don’t develop this concept right especially with females. Female harems needs justice 2021

    I guess you're half right, another part of it is that you know exactly how the girls in a harem manga will react, everything is always cliché and predictable, there's the tsundere, the childhood friend, the lady-like, the cold one blah blah blah

    Oh and whenever there's something happening, the male lead get slapped in the face for little to no reason, even if the girl was wrong in the first place.

    Oh yeah the slapping for no reason is really annoying. Especially if the guy retaliates by screaming at her to stop hitting him because he's mad at how the girl keeps hitting him and then the bitch suddenly cries like she didn't do nothing wrong.
