| Too much Ching Chong. What you meant are mainstream LN which gained popularity from trends with easy male fantasy such as harem or isekai then it becomes an easy money for them. It was Battle school harem,Mecha school harem?, Magic school harem, now we got Isekai harem. And majority of them originally from LN not Manga or anime original. |

Cause harem sells like you said, I dunno, it's just a shift in the industry. Like when GAR was a thing. |

| I would say it's because most of the LNs are male power fantasies and therefore harem is commonly a part of it. The reason for the power fantasies though is because they are largely internet fiction. A lot of it is just random garbage people post online, so that also explains why there are so many of them with almost the exact same storyline. It is basically their way of writing fanfiction. And do I really need to explain why fanfiction that's been specifically written by guys to pander to guys has lots of harems in it? If anyone is interested, a large part of the stories that end up getting published are from https://syosetu.com/ |
| Pretty sure there's plenty of LNs without harems. Like Spice and Wolf or Kino's Journey. Just get better taste, mate. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Why write two male MC. The focus of the harem novel are the stories of the girls, the MC is just a carrier for the girls. two set of harem and an extra MC looks very unnecessary. |
| LN mostly sell in Japan. Majority of readers are male otaku. 99% are straight and want vagina. Ding dong. |
 |
| So you can add the girls to your secret waifu list. |

I actually don't mind harems in LNs, but with the one condition that the Male MC needs to have a Male Best Friend that also gets his own harem too Okay, I'm dead... Is it also possible that harem can be consist of 4 male MCs( a friend of a friend of a friend of the MC?) |

| We all know there is never any actual discussion promoted in these threads that Hubert makes. Can we just make it a panty thread and be done with it? |
| LNs authors tend to one up each other, for every Gate we get 6 shitty Isekai/harem LNs, Web novels tends to be even worse. |
 |
| Just watch SukaSuka if you want something that doesn't actually have a harem. It looks like it does but it doesn't. https://myanimelist.net/anime/33502/Shuumatsu_Nani_Shitemasu_ka_Isogashii_desu_ka_Sukutte_Moratte_Ii_desu_ka?q=shuumatsu |

| You must be reading shitty light novels. |

| Depends on the genre of the LN Spice and Wolf, Baccano, novels like those don't have harems for the MC Isekai on the other hand... they're directed toward otaku males and mainly are wish fulfillment novels, so harems are like the fictional waifus the audience can imagine themselves actually getting. |
 |
| Probably because it sells, and that's what they want. They don't really care what's the story about if they can get some money out of it. |

| It seems to me the reason that so many stories that heavily rely on self-insert power phantasies are sold as books, is simply because because self-insertion works the best when one is reading a book; it can be written from a first person perspective and they often are. Other things are by necessity from a third person perspective, which obviously hampers with the self-insertion. Also note how "silent protagonists" in video games are most common in first person games. It obviously lends itself not well for things related to action, where something like a strip serves a better purpose in illustrating the fight scenes. |
 It is obvious that "obscenity" is not a term capable of exact legal definition; in the practice of the courts, it means "anything that shocks the magistrate". — Bertrand Russell |
