is this harem?

Author-san,take your time. It's very rare to find a good sports themed novel. So readers like me will definitely wait for you.

I like the concept but author-san you need to do some serious editing so that the readers would stick with this

Wouldn't his family and friends notice his sudden changes? Or is the plot armour taking care of it for him?

Thanks for clarifying that. I was surprised at the inconsistencies between former and later chapters. You are right in the fact that MC doesn't mistreat women and doesn't consider them romantic interests. But all the powerful female characters introduced so far are either mesmerized by his looks, power or both and have romantic inclinations towards him. I find that a bit disappointing. Why can't a female character find him powerful and just admire him? Why the need for them to fall in love and follow along like puppets? I also find the lack of male characters(who are not villains or admirers) concerning. Why can't the MC take on a male apprentice? While I am glad you have many powerful female characters(compared to most), we need similarly powerful male characters too... Otherwise even if it is not a harem, it gives the ambience of one. I hope you don't find my review offensive. I just feel strongly on the subject.

This is a harem novel. Just not a harem of professors.

I read the first 39 chapters and was disappointed by how the author managed to ruin what could have been quite a promising story. So I decided to skip ahead and read the ending and it is a harem. The annoying female character introduced in the beginning is one of MC's lovers. He has 3 wives? partners? The author has a habit of writing pathetic female characters making me wonder about the kind of person they are... I feel so offended by the portrayal of women. So I am dropping this novel.

I fear that the author is going to make her the FL....

You are dragging that annoying girl into every interaction. I swear I will quit if she is the FL. These days you can't enjoy a novel without a shi**y romantic subplot...

I hope this serves as a lesson to him to not use the system products without caution. He can't always escape like this without giving away any information. That being said from a moral point of view he did the right thing in trying to save a life. But sometimes the road to hell is paved with good intentions...

True. Everyone other than Wu Yan do not have a good character so far. And she was described as an idiot. Author either only knows these type of women or doesn't like women in general. There is no strong female character. I hope it changes in the future.

She is a spoiled brat who thinks the world owes her... Frankly I would root for a more mature FL

Dude not all of us are like that. These kind of women are a special subspecies...

No no!! Don't tell me she is the FL.... Please don't make such an annoying person the FL

Yeah but usually those kind of girls have equally stuck up bfs too or the protagonist breaks up with them. But here if this follows the pattern of nearly every similar novels, the author is going to show her so called 'cute' side and the mc will think she is not that bad at all. I honestly don't get this. True she may not be the wicked witch of the West like the lab senior girl. But she is pretty bad on her own...

Don't make that girl the fl. I beg you author. So many good novels have been ruined by unsuitable female leads.

Sorry for the rant. I feel strongly about this topic.

Same. I really don't understand people who say one thing and expect others to do something entirely else. She too had a part in why she fell. She saw him in the path but didn't avoid him. I don't think she was running at such a high speed she couldn't. And then she refused help and then thought why he didn't help her. I have a bad feeling she is going to be popping up again and force him to help her with something because she feels he owes her.Thats the usual plotline.I honestly hope the mc is not an idiot who gives into her just because she is a pretty woman. As a woman myself, I find it off-putting...
