I saw that, and now for the fifth time. (Or is it sixth?)

You DON"T persuade people by repeating the same thing over and over again. You're not proving anything, just giving a definition of what harem is, which I believe everyone here posting knows what it means.

Go look through the Manhwa and point out times when these female characters are attracted/interested in the male lead.
Say - Look in Ch # page # you can clearly see she interested in him, and here with this female, and here etc. (Don't forget to use spoilers if going in great detail)

That's what I meant by NEW info/examples.

Lambchopsil said back up your claim.
By giving examples, or better yet finding a quote from the author you'll being proving that the gamer is a harem.

If you can't do that, and insist on repeating definitions that aren't proving anything. You'll not only find that the genre will be locked, and this thread will probably get locked too. ( Since it's starting to become pointless)

EDIT -
Sidenotes:
Geez, try to help someone out and all I get is "you're ranting and off topic"

Ohh Lorska, I'm sorry you have something on your reading list that has slow progression with mediocre scans, but at least now I have a small opinion that you have on the manhwa. (As I like your opinions Lorska)

Yes yes, I know I make longwinded comments, but that's just me >.<
I should proof read my comments more, but I won't...
So keep in mind I'm filled with typos

Ok I just read the whole thing.

THIS. IS. NOT. HAREM.

seriously did you read any harem series before?

your point is that he is surrounded by females. not true.

(categorized by hair color)

blue chick appeared like 2 times so far, more teasing than anything else...
red chick directly involved him into some conversation 3-4 times? and the second time she didn't even remember him!
brown chick had two encounters with him, apart from him helping her there were no indications of affections whatsoever.
pink chick, don't get me started on her she exchanged like 5 sentences with him?

just because a series plays in a supermarket where multiple women go shopping does not mean it is a harem series.

the question is not whether there ARE any females, but whether they are involved. they clearly aren't.
all females so far do one of the two things: extend the mc's knowledge or initiate a new arc/plot, but they are not present in-between.

on this site, this site's standards hold, thus the definition provided in the genre section is the important thing. as the females are not involved, this can not be classified as harem.

seriously how would you get that idea when 90% of the time he is either alone, with his friend or with his mother 😕

edit: man thanks to that I have another slow progression manhwa on my list with mediocre scans... great...

Don't rant, and stay on topic.

Red hair - is the first person from abyss he makes contact with.

they clearly aren't

Levels his healing skill just so he can cure summoners daughter.

they clearly aren't

Saves the lives of two of them (Red hair, summoners daughter)

they clearly aren't

I'm not even touching the small things.

How about people who doesn't read the Manhwa, or aren't paying any attention to, just finally go away from this thread?

The hell is that?

Quote from Lorska

Ok I just read the whole thing.

red hair initiated the fighting stuff, he doesn't spend time with her

brown hair gets cured because of his desire to help people, he defended the thugs for the same reason and...

... red hair got saved for the same reason

in all those cases the interaction was short-lived.

I don't think you quite get the term involved... shall i state it again?

90% of the time he is either alone, with his friend or with his mother

there are almost exclusively superficial interactions so far.

So in the beginning, he wasn't involved with them.
But now he is, but it doesn't matter any more.

Leave this thread. Just leave.

The hell is that?

He still isn't _ just close this thread and ignore this troll.

Stop derailing.

The hell is that?

wait.

1. you state your arguments
2. I explain why these are invalid and bring another argument
3. you fail to invalidate my arguments, ignore the more striking one and tell me to go away?

I repeat, he is still not involved with them. He knows their names (um really that's it), saved a few of them and is together with them less than 10% of the time (all of them combined). Seriously if that's all it takes, I'll become firefighter and create a massive harem!
(I apologize to all firefighters out there, you are doing a great job)

following up on kaitentsuki,
are you aware that you make yourself look pretty stupid? you ignore everything the other people say, or tell them that what they say is irrelevant.

1. Says they are not involved - They are
2. Describes:

Red hair initiated the fighting stuff, he doesn't spend time with her

So what? How does disproves anything?

brown hair gets cured because of his desire to help people, he defended the thugs for the same reason and...

... red hair got saved for the same reason

Because every morning Han Jee-Han wakes up, he promises to himself, that he'll make a better place. Oh, but only after he stops killing things for money they drop.

Go away from this thread already.

The hell is that?

I'm just curious, how often will you ignore the fact that they spend next to no time together (and that's about each and every one of the females). You do this again and again and again...

how this disproves anything? look at any harem manga, the mc is surrounded by at least one of them 80% of the time.

they know nothing about each other personally but you claim they are involved with each other? and that's red chick, the others are even worse off, except for blue perhaps who does nothing but tease him a few times...

just for your information, he never wanted to make the world a better place, but the one path he thought of was helping people by becoming a doctor, he is reluctant to kill a person(! human not zombie or ogre mr. smart pants) and is horrified that this reluctance grows smaller. He also referred to himself as a healer and saint a few times, I don't get why you would humor a valid point...

And you should be aware that I in fact don't have do disprove anything, you would have to prove obvious involvement of at least three females to add that genre... good luck with that when he spends virtually no time with them...

And now leave, finally.

Godspeed.

this starts getting funny, so things with a certain characteristic cannot be compared under that characteristic?

Though it's even more funny that you only read one line and ignore the rest^^

To make it clear for you because you don't seem to get the point...

in other harem manga the mc is surrounded almost all the time, why? because there has to be some kind of contact for involvement. This isn't some one-time contact, but the steady type, and that is clearly missing in The Gamer. no contact -> no involvement -> no harem.

Stop derailing. Refer to the first post for what harem is, you can validate it by looking up sources mentioned.

The hell is that?

involving

Ok I guess the others were right... no use arguing with a troll...

apart from that I was the one who mentioned the MU definition -.-

and sufficiently mentioned that this involvement is missing, though you clearly can't accept anything other than your own opinion...

I vote for locking the harem genre so it cannot be added until there is some kind of definite proof.
More definite than one person claiming otherwise at least...
