This one has me on the fence. The premise is interesting and I want to say the first few chapters are fun to read, but then the mandatory harem troupes start showing up and the characters start getting annoying, and by characters I mean mostly the female lead gets annoying.
At first she has a very fun outgoing and down to earth personality. The kind of person you could have a fight with and then go out for drinks later as friends. But by chapter 39 she just comes off as overly aggressive for no real reason.
One of the side ML's in this reverse harem is rather sweet and charming and the FL is treating him like the plague. Then the author seems to have realized she made him too good of a love interest candidate and decides to nerf him by making him suddenly really pushy and over the top. All of the love interest get these flipped personalities after falling in love with the FL, they go from interesting and likeable characters to cliche annoying troupes.
I give it a 5 because it all started out good and was entertaining and fun to read. I tend to avoid harems as I don't care for the character troupes in the harem genre, but this one was not labeled harem so I didn't realize it would be a Harem. I won't penalize a book for being a genre I typically dislike, as a harem it is a generic ok. I have read better harems and worst harems, so I gave it a 5.
