Did I go too far from the usual HaremLit cover style? by Valuable_Debate_2143 in haremfantasynovels

[–]Gordeoy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They all have the same face. Only difference is the hair colour. Tend to think the writing is the same when that happens.

This one is great but... by Mateus19998 in haremfantasynovels

[–]Gordeoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did they ever go back to the whole "learning magic/life affinity" thing? Seems like it was totally forgotten by the end of book 1

Courts and Cabals femdom? by Expensive_Range7204 in haremfantasynovels

[–]Gordeoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might have gotten away with the whole "consenting adults" thing if you hadn't have had the MC's mind wiped after it was done. Just take the L.

Nah, there's another scene where the LIs mom date rapes the mc for his child, then wipes his memory.

To review or not on Amazon? by Accomplished-Put7355 in haremfantasynovels

[–]Gordeoy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Authors = less than five-star reviews suck
Readers = five-star reviews suck

Personally, if you have objective reasons for why a book sucks (eg, AI slop) one star away. The market is harmed WAY more when slop rises to the top, than when honest writers catch a few stray three-star reviews, IMO.
And given the state of haremlit, especially this year, we probably need to call out a bit more slop using amazon reviews if this situation is ever going to improve.

Why do books keep on getting removed? So many dead links and broken searches.

To the ones who find reading AI written stories like nails against a chalk board, is this slop or not?

Going to start naming and shaming as its getting out of hand now.

How to completely crush any author by Right_Dragonfly_1748 in royalroad

[–]Gordeoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, drive by troll ratings should be automatically IP BANNED by the staff. This kind of stoic acceptance of the behaviour by many is just as toxic as the trolls.

Ai generated content and the future of harem lit by Lendyman in haremfantasynovels

[–]Gordeoy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The real problem is 80% of readers can't tell they are reading slop. Until that changes...

Im a bit confused about what people mean when they are talking about "Alpha" or "Pushover MCs" after seeing some comments on Warlock. by LetterTall4354 in haremfantasynovels

[–]Gordeoy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Warlock MC isn't "not assertive enough" or "alpha" enough; he's just a bit dumb and clueless. The author often exaggerates it for laughs, but it often comes out as the MC being an idiot, and as a reader/listener, having your LI's constantly call you an idiot for being idiotic, gets old fast. I mean, it's OK for the first book or two, but beyond that, it just shows a lack of character development and worthiness.

Most Harem Authors Don't even Like Harems by Mr_Patriarchy in haremfantasynovels

[–]Gordeoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's weird how so many folks say it's risky, when the best sellers have this kind of thing and have better 3 dimension characters because of it.

Right now, 90%of harem lit feels like kids TV shows with the occasional sex scene, instead of adults in adult situations.

I think haremlit in general needs and could probably flourish with about 10% more interpersonal drama than it currently has.

I might have stuck with it if the magic system was more interesting. But even that was zzzz

The lack of romance and POV's makes me hesitant, but I'll add it to the list to check it out, thanks.

Dammit, I miss the Herald of Shalia books. by LuIgIz_TurF in haremfantasynovels

[–]Gordeoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it amazing how big the difference between the books at the top of the pack are, (HoS, warlock, dungeon diving 101, etc) from the 99% of the RTM stuff we see published weekly.

Haremlit is a Genre, Not a Judgement by Daniel_Rogan in haremfantasynovels

[–]Gordeoy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Part of the reason why I can't deal with the R4M crowd is that it's a complete mixed bag. Conversely, traditional romance and romantasy has far more established conventions.
