The setting itself doesn't really matter, I'll check anything out, from pure slice of life to empire builders to time travel and everything else, but otherwise I'm looking for something pretty narrow.
I'm looking for a male (OP if possible) MC, honestly the less realistic the better, not looking for a piece on inter-harem dynamics or anything of the sort that would make it too "realistic". Obviously the rest of the story can be as realistic as you want but the harem itself should be pretty "fairy tale-ish". Basically a powerfantasy with a lot of fluff. While harem usually implies more than 3 women I'll take anything with 2 women or more. Sex scenes aren't all that important, while nice and massively preferred, as long as there's fade to black(or something) and an actual acknowledgement that the relationship moved forward it's ok. I just don't want half the story to be the characters tip toeing around each other or the MC being too dense or any other typical Japanse tropes that are similar. I'd highly prefer if the girls end up loving each other as well.
I'm absolutely avoiding:
-rape
-mind control
-slavery
-sharing/cucking/swinging/cheating/open relationships
-M/M (if the MC has gay friends or something that's fine as long as it's not explicit. As long as the MC is 100% straight it's fine.)
-any type of dom, so no lezdom/femdom/maledom
-no favorite wife/woman, kinda looking for something that's as equal as possible for the women. This doesn't necessarily exclude having one wife, I just expect it to be more of a formality than the marriage cementing her place as nr.1.
-multiple MC's (this doesn't not mean that MC should have the only POV)
-huge age differences, I'd prefer if the MC stayed in his age range, if that's not possible then if he stayed in the same age range for all the members. I'm talking about his bodies age if it's some kind of time travel. I just don't want one girl to be 18 and the other 30. I hope I explained this one well enough.
While it's not a killer like all the above I'd rather avoid anything that focuses on other characters love life or the love life of the harem girls before they met the MC.
I'm sorry for setting so many constraints but it'd rather have it all out there from the start and not waste your time. Thanks!
