Glad to see some actual goal other than usual arena fights, and a real harem protag.
People keep talking about raised flags, but I can't see MC dying or losing a fight since it'd lead to either a gender-bend arc, or even worse- a NTR arc (losing a harem member). Both of them would result with a loss of sales I'd say (latter one especially). But then again, with a Japanese author, you really can't be sure that they won't pull a 'I wanted to subvert the expectations' out of their ass... So let's just hope they won't take that route.
