Someone had to do it at some point!! all harem lovers or harem authors should read this one-shot and realize how much the concept of harem is ridiculous. I don't care about harem-focused series because I never bother to watch most of them(though i'd watch them if they were yuri harem) but when a harem development ruins a good series(be it yuri or het) then it becomes an issue. I actually wouldn't have minded if this one-shot was about one of the heroines falling for another guy instead of a girl, it's all the same. if you read more deeply into this one-shot. it is not actually a parody, more like a horror. where the girls are trapped in a world where they are forced by the creator in a generic ecchi situations with the "innocent" protagonist or else they'll lose their position or screentime or existence or whatever you want to call it, without having the right to pursue their true love.
"besides, why does everyone like that guy, he's not all that attractive" this, I don't bother asking this question, because i know that harem protagnists are created only for unpopular boys so they can feel better about themselves, or for horny boys to satisfy their fantasies. I mean, as a guy myself, i'm not gonna lie, I sometimes fantasize about having multiple girls lusting after me(with some yuri action xD) but that's only in hentai terms. I don't need to watch a boring and generic harem anime that will never go anywhere to fulfil myself, i'd just go and read a hentai harem doujin. harem feels more like a fetish rather than a genre tbh. that said, i wonder when will we ever gonna break free of this harem curse that's taken over anime, and have the creators work on more serious works.
aaand that concludes my hatred-for-harem rant xD
