As long as they don't start fawning over MC or having ecchi scenes, I wouldn't mind another female party member! As long as they had plot relevance and a personality, that is...
I really don't see MC getting together with his childhood friend (more like a little sis in my mind) or the swordsman (personality clash, she's too dumb rn) so maybe someone with a little more chemistry with MC?
I don't really mind it if they added another female but if they do, PLEASE have some SUBSTANCE and a well BALANCED PERSONALITY/CHARATER!!! And not leading to the harem route bc that would be so cliché and boring. ugghhh just think about this almost makes me not want to read this. ┗( T﹏T )┛ harem stories are good only if the story was intended for that but this story should just focus on the mc building his strength to cover up his lie.
If another female gets added to his party, I'll drop this. I don't like harem.
