Villain (or not) Male MC, Harem/ Romance, Supplementary list
Villain (or not) Male MC, Harem/ Romance, Supplementary list
This is the supplementary list to my other Recommendation List- novelupdates.com/viewlist/69381/
This list is mainly for 2 types of novels,
First, for the novels that are already very popular and/or not a great fit for my previous list but i still wish to mention them somewhere.
Or second, if they're certified brain rot that is simply so bad i don't even wish to promote it in my main list. But it'll still be here incase you want to subject yourselves to that torture. I leave the choice to you. Don't worry, if the novel is that bad, i'll say it upfront.

Bro should take a break from novels. He just couldnt enjoy.
You didnt rate them properly. You simply called them cringe.
My guy just name the list as "sh*t I never properly read but still going to rate it" like some are generic because THEY are literally the early ones that did the genre
Tldr; Interesting titles and Bad takes
I believe The Villainous Daughter’s Butler ~I Raised Her to be Very Cute~ is shounen. No matter how you look at it, the progression of the novel's story was just going too well. And that's probably the aspect that makes it being judged as is. The heroine, for as far as I can remember, she never really have that much "screentime", it had always been him. Even her Grand Plan, whatever it is, the author had never told of it till the very end. And guess what? the novel's ending, was done really quick by the author, not the v341 done by winter, but the latest raw chapters I had read on syosetu. And those latest chapters I mentioned, it doesn't even have a speck of shoujo genre to it; well, from what I feel that is.
Personality and plot wise it fits much better into the shoujo category. The Male MC being 'caring' (gentle too) and all that which comes along with the slight focus on 'family politics' instead of politics on a nation scale. It really doesnt at all fit into the 'hot blooded shounen' or 'save the world' and other such related concepts. Is why i call it shoujo. Yes its told mostly from the perspective of the Male MC but the themes are quite shoujo. Ofc ive only read as far as the manga goes a couple months ago so i don't know how it turns out specifically but i got a fairly strong 'light-hearted' feeling from it. Totally could be that the author switches midway through seeing that his audience is different from what he expected but that is the impression i got till where i read.
EDIT: mangadex and baka updates both label it seinen rather which is also a better fit to the themes.
