A few of the J-Novel Club Harems that take place in Isekai mention polygamy being a thing in their narratives. So that'll at least be a temptation for them.
This conversation is getting a bit dangerous though. Knowing or having even a hint of someone definitely winning a ship is dangerous for my reading pleasure. Even if the odds are stacked against my choice. x)
Some of my favorite winning ships of all time are:
Ever17
Steins;Gate
Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers
White Album 2 (one pairing definitely gets the more dramatic / "I love you" end even if left unresolved for the latter half)
Virtue's Last Reward (if that even counts)
Shuffle AnimeOf course, I won't spoil who ships with whom outside of tags. You can get a general sense for what I like in a ship though. Bit of surprise romantic development, female characters that are a bit Kudere or Tsundere at first before becoming Deredere, mature / dark characters who win out over more cutesy designs or pushed cover protagonists (whether there's an actual triangle or those cover characters are just independent from the main character's love interests), etc. =)

@Terrence Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers really? do you know what happen later? :D
-
@Hakomari about Hakomari... Yen Press licensed it just a few days before I downloaded all the Volumes (Fan translation). So now I'm just here with all the 7 volumes in pdf, but I haven't started reading them... But I'm a good guy(hah) so I'll still buy Yen Press' versions

@sparhawk6 This is what I'm talking about here:

Be careful with those hints dudes.
-
Their releases are so slow that I will probably be fluent in Japanese before they have even published all the currently available volumes of Re: Zero.
I like Dark stories as well, especially those where the main character suffers a lot (what I like to call 'suffer porn'). My favorites would be Berserk manga and Hakomari(check the username xD ) LNs. Both traumatised me a bit though. I am overall a fan of grimdark/ high fantasy novels having read "A song of Ice and Fire" and other western novels as well.
-
@Terrence Well, Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers is a bit different, but don´t worry, I will not spoil you. But it is nice LN.
@Hakomari hmm try Pure Love x Insult, if you don´t know it, it is a bit ( a bit moreee) hentai, but story is really good. :D (Raws over 1600 chapters and chapters are not short, translated is 171 atm) -
I live for being blindsided by romantic betrayal, death, someone else winning someone's heart later on, my ship sailing, whatever happens. =D
Now I'm guessing with the hint that Rokka going forward to volume 2+
(ROKKA: Braves of Six Flowers spoiler guess?)
I should have put volume 1 / anime down to be fair. xC
-
Good job. I have them in pdf as well. But I will buy the Yen Press translations anyway cause I want them in print. Probably gonna import the originals soon as well. A huge fan of the LN series. Went in expecting a high school drama, got one of the most mature stories I have read with a bit physiological horror on the side. I won't spoil anything but it has the best conclusion I have read to a story. About half of the last volume was the epilogue so the author really tied up all the loose ends.
@sparhawk6 Oh, I think you misunderstood me. Should have clarified that I can't really handle rape in a story (I know I am mess for someone who likes dark stories).
Yeah, Isekai Smartphone and Arifureta are definitely going polygamy route. I am 100% certain that The Faraway Paladin won't, seeing how the author goes against every common isekai trope.
-
@Terrence I am up to vol 6. And I must say, that story is not bad, but there is a lot of drama.
@Hakomari Well, I am the same, I hate rape topic in LN/WN. But, this WN is only one case where I try overlook it, and it was worth. I actually stop read a few of WN/LN after I hear that there was rape later.
And Arifureta harem is pretty good! -
@sparhawk6 Are there more volumes to go after that? I'm really looking forward to diving deeper past the anime. =)
-
@Terrence Yeah, it have 6 vol and it is ongoing. But, well, vol 6 was released last year in July I think.
-
Yeah, Isekai Smartphone...
What about Realist Hero (no spoilers past V1 if you know for certain, just what do you get the sense of if you don't know)? That and Isekai were the two I thought of. I feel like RH could go 50/50, though since the previous king was only married to one woman, maybe the main character will follow his example.
I can't remember if polygamy is a thing in Mixed Bathing's World? He doesn't seem too interested in actual romance with multiple women anyway, just sharing a bathtub (again, no spoilers, I'm up past volume 2). xD
-
I might give it a chance then. I just see rape as a cheap way for making the story dark. There are so many other ways of achieving a dark story without having the main heroine get raped.
-
@Hakomari Yeah, we have similiar opinion about this. ( but that is not case of this WN, there is later Yakuza, martial arts, etc ) Do you also know Kuro no Maou?
-
I don't know about polygamy but Mixed Bathing's World has a harem tag. I think it is the same as Neechan wa chuuni where the main character doesn't have any interest in any of the girls even though there is a clear harem.[I have only read the first 2 volumes so no spoilers please.] Haven't read Realist hero yet but it has a harem tag on novel updates, that is actually why I have been putting it off.

@sparhawk6 said in Novel pick-up requests:
Kuro no Maou
I have heard about it a few times. It is worth reading?
-
@Hakomari Indeed it is. It is a Dark Fantasy with Yandere!! I like it so far.
Also, I will be happy if @Sam-Pinansky will get Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan. I hope, that it will be possible.
-
Woah please tell me it is a male yandere. The guy in my profile picture became a yandere halfway through the story and I loved it.
BTW, I also want Rakudai.
-
@Hakomari Nope, the male MC is just twisted, like sometimes, when they flip his switch, he is really nasty :D And girls around him are Yanderes :D

Sorry but what message chain were you replying to? My OCD's been killing me trying to figure it out :zipper_mouth:

Someone translated Rokka up to Vol.6? I really enjoy the series but with "Yawn Press" licensing it I've lost all hope to ever read it again, I'd be faster to learn moonrunes than wait for them to caught up with the Japanese version.
