Review Detail of oldthrall in SON OF THE HERO KING (Terminated the contract on WN read the synopsis)

This is probably one of the best harem stories I've ever read, unlike the many out there that claim to be "harem". Those harems are really just a facade; a bunch of girls hanging around a dense, naive idiot who relies on plot armor and lucky chances to unintentionally attract girls. In contrast, this novel, the MC actually makes an effort to court girls to add to his harem. SHK is a great novel that has a very original and interesting premise. Instead of having a character that has a very heavy and overly dramatic backstory, our MC is really not too special but because of that he isn't a clueless retard like the typical harem MC protags out there. He is decisive, committed to his choices, and isn't afraid to learn and grow to become better, knowing that he can't presume or assume anything would always work in his favour. Simply put, he actually thinks with his brain, and makes decisions, and works ACTIVELY towards his goals, not relying on some chance encounter or plot armor. With a great cast of characters, the author really created an interesting story and setting. Each character shows much development before we finally also see the consummation of their relationship with the MC. You won't be left unsatisfied reading this novel. Also, no unnecessary relationship drama has occurred so far because our MC is decisive, resolves misunderstandings quickly and actually COMMUNICATES to people instead of letting issues go unnoticed. What is most unique is that the story is told from the perspective of royalty, which is usually looked down upon as corrupt and overbearing in similar stories. We see a different take on how royalty are and the challenges in building a kingdom and how the MC gathers allies, and most importantly his harem members. In fact as of the latest chapter (on patreon, ch 91), each harem member added was a result of a very natural development of their relationship and not sudden or due to lucky chances or stupid plot armor or unintended acts of kindness (which is highly contrasted to his father, who, for plot armor reasons managed to cause a bunch of women to fall in love with his father - who was a dense naive op plot-armored beta protagonist)
