it is consistent with yoriichi's personality.

Yeah, but still, that's very annoying.

well to each his own. i just don't want his persona to change drastically without any reason.

don't u think ur going too overboard with ur comment, after all there is something called character development and we all know what type of character does yoriichi has! the novel only has 21 chapters till now so have patience otherwise read Chinese novels who don't care about their character development from the first chapter!

Your comment would be valid if the protagonist had not been sold into slavery by his own father and then trained for 10 years by one of the strongest characters in One Piece, literally the MC lacks common sense

well now that I rethink about it your probably right.

I agree which is why I'm not gonna read this, yoriichi having a harem is not in character

So, you don’t decide to have a harem, it’s supposed to happen to you unintentionally. The kind of personality you’re describing would just make the MC someone who collects women like Pokémon. A true harem character is written in a way where the situation happens to them, even if their personality doesn’t align with it. It’s not something they choose, and it might not even match their character, but they end up adapting to the situation anyway. For that reason, I think your take was off. The flow of the story comes from their unintentional involvement in the harem, and their intentions aren’t about deliberately wanting one, it’s the circumstances and context that force them into it. That’s also why alpha characters are the worst for harem stories, because they just want to dominate and don’t even respect their harem or the women in it. Smh, anyway

where did you find me describing his character smh, and there's always a choice, also this was so long ago I had to reread this entire comment chain.

You don’t adapt to a harem you don’t want you simply tell them no. Writers have this out of touch reality that they think a female will degrade themselves to join a harem to someone who doesn’t want one. Writers who make harems simply have very little understanding of females or don’t have a lot of real friends in real life.

I’ll respond point by point because there are several things to clarify. There are quite a few generalizations in what you’re saying, and I think it’s important to add some nuance. 🔹 First point: Saying that it’s enough to just ‘say no’ to a harem is an oversimplified view of well-written stories. In a well-constructed harem story, the protagonist does not actively choose this dynamic, nor can he simply reject it with a ‘no.’ These relationships often form due to circumstances beyond his control: the genuine feelings of other characters, emotional dilemmas, or deep connections. He has to learn to manage the situation, often to maintain the important relationships around him. Reducing this to a binary choice ignores the complexity of human emotions. Saying that one does not ‘adapt’ to a harem ignores the fact that the protagonist often has no choice. He does not decide that multiple people fall for him or want to stay with him. He can say ‘no,’ but that won’t change the feelings of others. He is therefore forced to adapt because ignoring these relationships would only hurt those around him. 🔹 Second point: The idea that women ‘degrade’ themselves by joining a harem is a biased judgment. This reasoning reflects more of a prejudice against the genre than an objective observation. In well-written stories, female characters have sincere and thoughtful motivations: they act based on their own emotions, attachments, or personal convictions. These relationships are not imposed or degrading but rather choices that enrich the story by deepening their interactions with the protagonist. 🔹 Third point: Assuming that harem authors lack an understanding of women or are socially isolated is an unfair generalization. Some of the best harem stories are written by female authors, such as Yuna Kagesaki (Karin) or Tsukasa Fushimi (Oreimo), who create nuanced female characters and realistic relationships. These works prove that this genre is not limited to disconnected male fantasies but can be a credible and emotional exploration of human relationships. So in conclusion, what makes these stories strong is that they are not just ‘efficient’ narratives; they touch on universal themes such as love, attachment, and difficult choices. In a well-written story, a harem does not ‘seek itself out’, it naturally forms around the protagonist, who must learn to manage these relationships with respect and sincerity. This is not an artificial narrative strategy but a way to depict the complexity of emotions and human interactions

You got it man let’s just agree to disagree because I can see we will never agree. I live in reality and I expect more modern mentality in fanfics. Harems are simply looked down upon and makes no sense. Casual friend with benefits makes way more sense and especially polygamy where multiple partners are involved but it’s not simply a pure devotion to one guy. It makes no sense how a group of women don’t experience different people just as a guy experience different women. I only see monogamy or polygamy with multiple genders. Harems is simply dumb.

This is a fanfic, what do you expect,many fanfic authors do this, and if you read fanfics, you should know this by now. No need to insult this writer.
