    Holy crap, a quality list that actually has a large number of good stories I haven't read yet or even heard of. These are the kinds of recommendation lists we need. I'm so tired of filtering through all the shitty BLs that are rated 5 stars and skew the search algorithm because of the rabid BL fanbase, or having to look through the infinitieth bland power fantasy harem protagonist without a soul. 

    The hero that NU needs right now, but not the one it deserves.

    Man, I see you are an experienced one. Can I ask you to recommend novels? I am looking for something similar to "Incompatible Interspecies Wives" and "Becoming Professor Moriarty’s Probability"
    Both have a harem and romance, and it's not just the second side, or something that appears only after a few hundred chapters, but the main plot.
    I asked this question on the forum, but really didn't get an appropriate answer . So I hope you can help me with it. Also, hope someone here can help with it either

      I can try and recommend some that are similar in some aspects but overall these novels are pretty unique. Check out the novels here https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/83473/. Let me know if you have read all of these and I can try to think of a few more but off the top off my head, these are the most similar. If you think these don't match up as well please be a little more detailed in what specifically you are looking for plot-wise. 

      1.I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

      2. Fated to Be Loved by Villains

      3. The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me

      4. I Became a Villain’s Hero

      5. Little Tyrant Doesn’t Want to Meet with a Bad End

      6. The Novel's Extra
