thanks to that black tower master I realised that all his comanions are girls or beasts... thats really typical... even in a story with no romance nor any erotic implications there is still only the Male MC and the female party members + Companion beasts. Why author? Cause from experience the books that also have male Side characters are usually way better than the ones where all of them are female.
That being said I need to mention that it doesn't feel forced till now since there are only 3 actual party members and they were not only properly introduced but it also didn't feel forced and there was a male party member at least for a short while.
So yeah its not to bad till now, but if we get two more members and both are female Its getting sus.
