Stories set in a world where the male population is significantly lower than the female one. Mostly wish fulfillment/self-insert type stories, with an isekai'd male protagonist who effortlessly builds a harem. Though some of the better ones do explore the societal impacts of the imbalance.... more>>

Common tags: male protagonist, harem, polygamy, sexually active protagonist, devoted lovers, s*x friends, in*est, gender reverse roles, matriarchy, isekai, reincarnation

[Created this list so people can more easily find this kind of setting as there's no tag for it. As such, do not take these as recommendations. If you want more similar series I suggest look at rec lists for 'Gender Reverse Roles' as there's a lot of overlap in themes.] <<less

For series that actually go the harem route instead of teasing, being suggestive of it, or only using it for fan service. I have a... more>> preference for series with marriage and where they actually do the deed. <<less

This is a list of some stuff I’ve read, both competed and ongoing, that I think are fair to give a shot. They aren’t the... more>> best of the lot like my Top Novels list. But it’s not a total waste of time to read them. Some are actually decently good.  <<less

I'm a huge fan of true harem series. Pretty much everything on this list is True Harem, or if it isn't it's because it hasn't ended/ reached the 'dating' stage yet.... more>>

Most harem series on this list are academy stories because to me fantasy-academy-harem are just really entertaining. The rating themself aren't based on romance or story, they're based purely on my enjoyment of the story as a whole.

The ratings are definitely way higher than most of the series' deserve, but idc, i'm not taking it that seriously.

Oh btw this list does/ will have some r18/ yuri/ ts yuri stories on it (no yaoi/ straight ts though)

If anyone would like to talk about novels w me add my discord: Virimee <<less

Most harems suck, these are ones I enjoy, especially with harem end.

This is my humble list of reverse harem novels. I'm fairly new to the genre but I know the struggles of finding a good one. Its up to you to like the ones in this list tho. ... more>>

There are some I haven't read so forgive me if I can't give my opinion yet but for those I have, I'll provide a bit of my review.  <<less

These novels are I highly recommend to those who like the True Harem and Polygamy ending with a smut scene. Also avoiding the harem bait novels.... more>>

I tend to dislike the ridiculous, dense protagonist, especially when they show no development. Those kinds of novels aren't my cup of tea. If you like those, this list is not for you.

⚠️ There is a chance that may encounter in*est that you wouldn't like amongst them. I will put a warning on it. ⚠️

I may update this list frequently. <<less

If you have any recommendations to read and then add to the list, please let me know! Let's help each other, harem enjoyers! <<less

Novels which have a large amount of girls (>10). I have seen only one list of this type so I thought why not make one myself. I will only mention novels that are not on that list. Keep in mind that not all novels like this are good. Rating will be purely based on my enjoyment of that novel so take it with a grain of salt.... more>>

No yaoi or reverse harem <<less

series set in the modern day with no fantasy themes. just pure romance+harem

A collection of stories with gender reverse role novels.(Check also the comment section for other reverse gender role novels/manga/manhwa/manhua I recommend)

CN novels make the mainstay. ... more>>

These are my favourite works I’ve read over the years.

Focus is on good writing. I have a preference for a good romance (focus on harem/polygamy, but not strict about it) where relationship development is a focus or other standout features. There will also be novels noted for world building, character development, or other standout features which may or may not have romance. 

I will try to order them in terms of best to worst. Though this order will be skewed due to sequels, because I subjectively prefer a novel over its objectively superior competitor, because a few novels have similar themes, or that various novels are all roughly equal imo.

See the comment section for several more novels not on NU. Read untranslated works using Google TL or a fine tuned LLM/AI like OpenNovel. <<less
