LF pretty specific harem story.

guspecegnu ๐Ÿšซ
Updated:

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!

Unless he has a premier membership, he cant exclude tags on the category search and he has a lot of exclusions.

This is the story recommendation forum and he was looking for recommendations. Sounds like he is doing okay.

The search can be less than friendly and the results far less than satisfying if you are looking for something very specific. Lots of false positives.

Sorry, OP, but I can't think of a single story that fills all of your niches. All of the harem stories I am familiar with seem to fall afoul of one or more.

True, but the advanced category search available to premier members that allows tag exclusions as well as inclusions would narrow things down for him a lot.

He also has a terminology issue.

based on:

-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.

I'd say he's looking for straight polyamory, not harem.

@paliden

There is a difference between searching and recommending.
Sure it's easy to find stories with the right tags, but when looking for recommendations, you want input from others who have read stories they liked that they want to share.

There is a very stark difference between just sharing search results and sharing recommendations which you seem like you've missed.

The Lucky Jim stories by Fantasy Lover might be acceptable to your requirements. They all contain harems that pretty well fit, but the harems are just a part of the story.

I've read that already but thank you for the effort.

Even if I had premium it would still be somewhat frustrating to find things that are to my taste. For example there's no way as far as I know to search for no sex harem stories.

On another note, polyamory and harem are about the same in my book, honestly can't tell the difference, never could.

I'm sorry if this thread somehow annoyed you, I was just looking for rec's from people. I'm not trying to use this as my personal search engine but if somebody read something similar to what I want and they're bored enough they might bother to post here.
Summaries are also usually pretty bad in describing what the story is about.

Yes, there is.

Simply check the 'harem' and 'no sex' options. Simple.

Someone has written a magnificent no-sex harem series not on Earth (I hope he doesn't mind me calling it that) over on SciFi stories: Star Guardian by Duncan7.

ETA Bother - there's a new chapter in Book 3. That's ruined my immediate plans ;)

I looked up DS's question. Apparently it's a misquote of Abraham Lincoln (he didn't use dog). And Lincoln's answer was before Einstein popularised relativity and is arguably wrong.

And I might as well have a dig at Captcha, which used to help computers recognise images as well as bot-proof websites. I now know that, when following the instruction "click on all squares containing images of buses", I'm required to click on a windowless lorry emblazoned with the name of a haulage company. It's well withing the realms of possibility that, if required to click on all images of dogs' legs, the same failing would result in having to click on the tail to get past Captcha. God bless artificial intelligence!

Six.

Different vowels make a difference. Sax is a musical instrument. Sex involves attempts at reproduction, Six is the integer between five and seven. Sox is a garment for feet, and a nickname for some Baseball clubs, mostly involving colors. Sux sounds like sucks. Sometimes y gives Syx. I am not sure there is a word similar to that.

It can be about the people and the relationships and not the sex. My story Boone - the Early Years has multiple wives but is no sex. So do the other stories linked to below. Also many of the Clan Amir stories have multiple wives but no sex.

How about The Best of Both Worlds by Dilettante?

Also, Mayhem stories by Colt45. He also has a few other harem stories which include slavery, but they are "light" slavery, that is the MC doesn't treat enslaved women as slaves.

El Paso by Joe J. Joe J has a couple of other harem stories, too.

Arlene and Jeff by RoustWriter, but it's extremely long and has all kinds of subplots, and is incomplete.

Talking of extremely long stories, Six Times a Day by Spacer X has a harem.

Tumblr Sister by Lubrican. Lubrican is another one who has a lot of harem stories.

The Power by ElSol.

Fair warning, many (though not all) of Lubrican's stories develops into sharing or women not having exclusive relationships with the protagonist. If I recall correctly, the story mentioned above is one of those where the protagonist shares his harem with an other dude. So you might want to read up reviews or something for specific stories if you want to give his library a shot!

You could try The Preacher Man by hammingbyrd7 for a really good sci fi.

I second colt45 stories as well.

You might like My Isekai Life in D&D by NoMoshing. I haven't read very far into it yet, but it seems promising for you.

richardshagrin ๐Ÿšซ

One option that you otherwise probably would not find through some of the searches recommended is the Swarm Cycle inspired by Thinking Horndog with lots of stories by other authors as well. Every person over age 14 (see how well it fits with the Management rule for how old you can be to have sex in a story) with a CAP score over 6.5 has two concubines (some don't and finding the right number is a story development some authors use), and at 7.0 you get four, 8.0 you get six and 9.0 you get eight. The mostly hypothetical 10.0 scores get ten concubines. How they get together and learn to live together drives a lot of the stories. Go to Thinking Horndog's page and find perhaps two dozen of the stories and a way to find the several hundred others.

They aren't all harem stories, but enough are you will have significant reading opportunities.

Except just about everything in the Swarm Cycle will violate one or more of the OPs exclusions

-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
-multiple MC's (this doesn't not mean that MC should have the only POV)

This one fits too as a decent number of the stories I've read from the Swarm Cycle, especially the prepack stories, have a #1 concubine.

-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.

Dominions Son ๐Ÿšซ

Out of curiosity, I ran an advanced category search based on the OP's criteria. No tags for only one MC or favorite woman, so I couldn't exclude those exclusions

Here's the criteria I used:

Showing: Harem
Removing: Ma/ft, mt/Fa, Ma/Ma, Ma/mt, mt/mt, Blackmail, Coercion, Drunk/Drugged, Hypnosis, Lolita, Mind Control, NonConsensual, Pedophilia, Rape, Slavery, Gay, Cheating, Cuckold, Sharing, Slut Wife, Wife Watching, Wimp Husband, RAAC, BTB, MaleDom, FemaleDom

Shockingly, the result wasn't a null set. 187 stories found.

There are some false positives, because of stories that used mind control or BDSM out of the Genre selection and did not include it as a tag.
