It is harem... but until now there's barely any shadow of it. Like... the characters were introduced, helped each other and parted ways... he doesn't carry them around like a bunch of useless keychains...
Tbh if novel readers didn't point it out on one comment I wouldn't even have noticed... romance is almost 0...
sad for you then as he DOES get a harem but UNLIKE most brain dead cunt moves his LADIES are NOT stupid nor are they just ornaments for him to display on his arm they actually bring this whole thing together in so many ways it is Pathetic and DO NOT let anybody tell you the MC has NO emotions he does he just does not play the stupid games that Morons tend to play .

Chapter 1 already ruined by forced one-sided rivalry to a possible future FL or LI
Can already see where this is going.
Pass.
