Headpats. Headpats everywhere.

Where exactly is "zero o clock"?

 

[Morose]

Where exactly is "zero o clock"?

Same as 12 o'clock, but that one falls under 24-hours system, while 12 o'clock falls under 12-hours system.
I mean, in 24-hour system, there is no 24:00 after 23:59, its 00:00.

Navigation wise, its the same as well.

But i guess since they are in space and there is no morning or night, they are used to 24-hours system rather than 12-hours system.
So, they use " zero o'clock " instead to be more accurate (since in space, the directions aren't just limited to 4 sides, there is also up and down as well.)

MC in his head: "Man, I'd be pretty happy if I could have five wives".

I think you mean 5 knives.

I have read a lot of isekai harem, the slop one, the cringe one, the its-so-ass-its-so-good one, but this is the only protagonist I genuinely envious off, for some reason

Because he has a sweet-ass spaceship, and actually bangs his whole harem?

 

[Me]

It's four. The sisters count as one given their size.

I... that's fair. I revise my count of current english LN wives down one accordingly.

With great power comes great women.

Mei is not sitting in Hiro's lap for a reason, she weighs over 200 kilos. The dwarf twins are the second heaviest (each) followed by Mimi and Elma. They did a great job on the head patting scene. Thanks for the uploads!

For some reason, he's giving off "El Kabong" vibes.

One more reason Elma is best girl!

I feel like the headpat-go-around symbolizes the "issue" of harem anime fairly well.
TLDR: The MC is "the father figure", the harem girls are "his daughters", and the whole point is that they're all fighting / vying for daddy's attention. It's not even necessarily sexual, just a man who treats the girls around him as children, and sometimes gives them attention that they seek so much.

I say it's a problem, when it's not necessarily one, but it's so obviously wrong to treat actual women as children, when the situation is inherently abnormal and dysfunctional on all accounts. It just comes across as immensely pretentious, that they get "head patted" as a blissful reward.

The headpat thing is just a playful affection thing that started with the twins, I think youre reading too deep into this scene.

Not to mention you picked the wrong manga to complain about this because this is one of the few harem mangas that bother to establish a unique personality (and by extension, relationship dynamics) for/with each girl.

Mimi is the little sister, Elma is the equal partner, Mei is the big sister(?), and the twins are "daughterwives".

One of it is the robomaid that pilot your mothership. But as a whole he has nice life that doesn't make me feel cringe, as far as I remember.
It's nice that he has robowaifu

I kind of agree but for a different reason. The headpats is not about treating them as children. It's just that it was a thing with one of the dwarfs, and everyone else simply got jealous and wanted the same affection. Which is the real problem, I think. There's only one of him and 5 (working up to 6) of them.

It's a logistical nightmare. They either take turns, or his attention has to be divided when they're together, and that's just not something most people would enjoy. Not to mention that all the girls have to have a good relationship with every other girl, which is more unrealistic than the space ships.

The way I justify it in this story is that this is a very violent universe with extreme economic disparity, and Hiro protects them from it. They would all be dead or enslaved if not for him. And not just theoretically, he literally intervened to save each of them from that fate. In such a world, powerful people will be more attractive and the harem will forgive not having 100% of his attention, as long as new harem members contribute to the overall safety of the group. The only outlier is Mei, where they went with the cheap "he treats an AI as a person, so the AI loves him".

I think it's more like Mimi is the mom of the harem, Elma is the dad of the family, Mei is the cat herder, and the twins are the pets lol.

It's hard to really go into depth in a manga, but yeah, not only does each person have a unique personality and relationship with Hiro, but with each other as well. And the one thing they all agree on is not letting Mimi choose the music to listen to!

 

[Bibliothecarius]

I mean, he does have sex with all of them.

Later on in the story, I assume you mean? Interesting, good to know.

Thanks for the chapter!!!

 

[Pyras]

That's a lot of headpats alright.

 

[CountryMage]

Not just the music, she's also the one that picked up a facehugger as a foreign delicacy for Hiro to eat (since nobody else wanted to try it).

There's also no up or down in space, so using clock notation is even more silly. Zero o clock is just "straight ahead" which is arguably less confusing.
