@CloverHoney i think is not really fair to compare harems and reverse harems coz they are really different, but mostly for 2 reasons:
Reverse harem
> The members of the harem all compete for the FMC love
> The FMC is most of the times aware of the feelings of the members of her harem
Harem
> The members of the harem are friendly with each other, some even propose to stay all together in order to mantain the good relationships
> The MC is mostly unaware of the feelings of the girls, even if they outright tell him he still doubts about them
in my case, when i read reverse harems i read it for the drama and coz the guys are hot as fuck also wishing for the FMC to stand her ground better, coz they always get swayed by the guys, and when i read harems i wanna see the girls be happy, and since the MC is most of the times a wimp i wanna see him get more confident to properly face the girls.
i suck at explaining but yeah i enjoy both kinds for different reasons
