If you're referring to my comment, I'm choosing to read this despite hating harems because the romance here is very secondary to the plot which I actually like
I think some readers here, esp those that read mainly isekai villainess /noble girls webtoon are living in the "anime/manga's concept of reverse harem" bubble which is very different from the concept of reverse harem seen on literature/novels/books. Like they don't even know what's mfm, mm or mmfm or the concept of poly is still translated in their brain as multiple guys only loving 1 girl aka no mm.
Heck even shoujo/josei manga readers sometimes will tag a serie as poly when there's just a regular love triangle situation and there's end game guy.
Not to mention the outsiders of the otome fandom niche, thinks otome games are reverse harem by default when in actuality it is extremely rare that in these kind of games there's a harem situation/ending. Actually the story will luck the heroine with just one guy after she made the decision to romance him.
Anyway my point is in each contexts the term "reverse harem" varies and trying to convince others to abide to a specific meaning of the term is pointless since its the majority and context (here were in manga/webtoon/comic) that decide.
Hm, I just re-read your comment and the other comments, I just realized my previous comment def is out of place haha.... Let's pretend I didn't wrote anything lmao
Honestly, reading the comments under this Webtoon always makes me laugh
Some people should stop reading reverse harem if they can't understand what a reverse harem is (or please just read some books with mfm, mmf, or rh themes first).
And please, please stop reading historical themed works, without understanding of the concept or mindsets.
Like...how can she sleep with her consorts when 1. she does not want to have children yet, and 2. she just became an empress and there're a lot of stuff to settle first...including the risk there is to her life and legacy.
