I find that mangas with harems, in all of them the girls don’t have any personality other then the “I don’t mind being in a harem” personality trait.
They have no goals.
No overwhelming passions.
Nothing they disagree with the male lead about.
No opinions.
They exist purely to make the male lead look good,
They exist to make the male lead feel good,
Their existence relies purely on being known as the male leads woman.
And if I ever comment about this on one of those mangas I get a stupid comment like “You should’ve read the tags”
I don’t have a problem with harems I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A FEMALE CHARACTERS ONLY WORTH BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MALE LEAD, AND A WOMANS FEELINGS BEING LESS THEN A MANS LUST.
and then I get the comment “don’t read it then” those people failing to realise that this kind of stuff can effect peoples views, impressionable teens might be reading.
I grew up reading mangas and in my 8 years seen all that there is to see.
I was 11 when I started reading, and when an 11 year old girl reads that a women’s only worth is to be with a man, to agree with a man, it can affect people.
Sorry about this rant, I guess I’ve been waiting to get this one off my chest.

I TOTALLY get you. I have some friends that love harem mangas and I just CAN'T.
The female characters are always the same ones with different styles of drawings, names and colours or a combination of them but it's always:
The loli who is not always that young.
The naive girl who is rescued somehow (physically or psychologically)
The dense girl (who is almost always the FL)
Miss big tits
The pervert
The one who loves to serve the MC.
The tsundere
I JUST CAN'T WITH THEM. They don't have anything in their brains except being merchandise and ""waifu"" material?? And the male character is always so dense and stupid and "Oh, this girl is basically flirting with me openly and telling me how she loves me. She's such a good friend, I have low self-esteem, I like you too my female friend who likes me as a friend" while being "I love this other dense girl who will not be in love with me 'til the end or that already loves me but doesn't know it hehe"
I can't. I just can't. At least with reverse harem, the characters may have some resemblance among the series (hello, thousands of blonde-haired bastards) but THEY HAVE SOME BACKGROUND?? like they explain why they are the reason they are, and the girl tells them "HEY, I DON'T LOVE YOU. OR I'M ALREADY ENGAGED TO ANOTHER MAN. GIVE UP, BOY. FIND YOURSELF A NEW WOMAN" unless the girl is dense and in that case is the boy who thinks "hey, she doesn't love me and loves the silverhaired/blonde guy, well, I'll support her love because I care about her."
It's like totally different in the treatment of the other possible partners?
Me normally when i see a potential harem form in other mangas: ew deSGusTANG (note: Word disgusting is in a Scottish accent) I hate.... Four women for one man??? yucky
Me when I see a potential reverse harem form: WOW QueeN!!! Four men for one woman amazing xxxx You go get all that love! Just.....wow, I love!
