This isn’t really a harem.. most of his disciples so far are females that’s true,. However all of them are close friends and none of them actually love the mc romantically, the same can be said about the MC, he doesn’t love any of them romantically or it hasn’t been shown yet.
but yk damn well in manhwas like these if theres this many female side characters and little male side characters it’ll eventually turn into a harem or romance. return to player, solo leveling, advanced player of the tutorial tower, and so much more are all victims of romance kudos to the author if they end up never having romance or harem but it’s obvious that at this point there will be in later chapters
1: solo leveling wasn’t a harem in any format unless your talking about another manwha with that name.
2: whatever you think. I’ve read manwah like this alot and they haven’t turned into harem in any format. Did they have a lot of female characters? Yeah did that make it a harem? No. Even if they added romance that wouldn’t automatically make it a harem unless he’s in a relationship with half of them or they all love him romantically.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE HAREM OR MANHWAS WITH HAREM INNUENDOS THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. LIKE DAMN MOST OF THE SIDE CHARACS AND SIDE LEADS ARE FEMALES AND THEY MADE THE GUYS LIKE SOME 3RD RATE VILLAINS OR A PASSING MOB CHARACTER. HECK MOST OF HIS DISCIPLES ARE FEMALE
