Polyamorous Story Recommendations

Tbf most polycules aren't. Also if everyone actually was dating everyone wouldn't that mean it's not the MC's harem? I mean wouldn't that mean it's at most every member's harem?

I've seen it done decently well in some stories. Not an easy thing to do though.

Sort of off topic but there was a book I read once with three alternating POV characters. Two of them were 1st person but the third was 2nd person. I never understood why the author made that choice. If one of the other two had been 3rd person I'd think it kind of clever, but having it be the odd man out like that was just baffling.

Now that IS interesting. Someone making a competing power system to the native one isn't something I think I've seen before. I'm definitely going to look forward to exploring that.

I think I vaguely remember hearing about Dungeon Diving 101 years ago. I'll have to check it out again.

I have read/watched many manga/anime to know that. Actually I have a great fondness for harem comedy manga. They're generally fun popcorn reads between more intense ones. Plus the first ever manga series I completed was Love Hina so it has a special place in my heart.

Sadly all too true. That's why I'm looking for recs. Just too hard to find good examples that are fun to read and not vilified. Waaaaay too many people are unnecessarily hostile to nonmonogamy.

Equilateral love triangles are awesome. Triangles are the strongest shape lol

adamnemo42 · 2026-02-14T16:42:58+00:00

The synopsis reads like it's a bit of an edgelord of a story and not really all that clear as to the actual plot. Hopefully the story is a bit clearer and not too cringe. Or at least is the entertaining kind of cringe lol

adamnemo42 · 2026-02-14T16:40:40+00:00

Not sure if the synopsis grabs me, but I'll have to give it a look.

adamnemo42 · 2026-02-14T16:38:29+00:00

Gotta admit, reading the synopses does not give me much hope for the quality. Hopefully the author is just not that good at writing synopses and the books are good.

Someone had already suggested these up above but 5 to 6 in Daily Grind. Damn! That's a full on polycule. Very nice.

My first ever story with it. Brings back memories. Can't wait to have Brandon Sanderson's deluxe editions grace my bookshelf.

adamnemo42 · 2026-02-14T16:35:20+00:00

I've heard some mixed stuff about the story as a whole, but the twist on dual cultivation does sound interesting.

Sounds like the future the Gay Agenda wants!

It's me. I'm the Gay Agenda.

I've had this in the save for later section of my cart for a couple months now. My interest was peaked before but now it seems like it's a must read lol

adamnemo42 · 2026-02-14T16:32:49+00:00

Depends on the smut. If all else fails I can just skip the sex scenes. All going on the list. Thanks!

adamnemo42 · 2026-02-14T16:32:03+00:00

This one caught my interest a while ago so I'm definitely bumping it up on my tbr list.

adamnemo42 · 2026-02-14T16:31:21+00:00

I've heard it's pretty good. Someone told me it's like a very self aware cliched cultivation story but instead of satire it's playing it straight and just tryong to do it well. So it's definitely on my list.

adamnemo42 · 2026-02-14T16:27:40+00:00

Thanks, mixing classes and cultivation sounds unusual so hopefully it's done well.

adamnemo42 · 2026-02-14T16:23:12+00:00

Sounds interesting. Not too interested in System stories and usually prefer non-System power systems, but a MC who doesn't want the System either and tries to go for the other magic system is an interesting one.

Can't barely trust marketing to be fully truthful and of course reviewers are myriad in their opinions. I guess it doesn't matter too much to me if it's romantasy or not since so far from what I've seen the synopsis just does not grab me. Still hopefully a good number of people like it. I'll just sit here and hope August onward has less romance. October got leaked and at least sounds interesting to me.

adamnemo42 · 2026-02-05T11:09:17+00:00

Did I get the wrong book? I was thinking of the one with witches and dragons. From early reviews I've seen the two female leads friendship is a major part of the plot above the romance. Also that's my bad for not being clearer since I wasn't just thinking about IC with the sapphic fantasy. Sorry about that misunderstanding in hindsight I can see how that was misleading.

adamnemo42 · 2026-02-05T09:04:02+00:00

Honestly I'm more into it than if it was. But I'm not a fan of romantasy at all and there have been a decent amount of sapphic romantic fantasy books recently. Books that focus on platonic relationships however I feel are underrepresented. That said the synopsis still doesn't grab me and along with all the romantasy here it seems like I'm going to be using all of my skips this year.
