Has there ever been a battle harem series that actually strayed from the norm in terms of its cliches?
Like, for isekai, there are a lot of generic ones out there. But at least some writers try to break defined cliches and have their MC reincarnate as a slime or a spider or a vending machine, or mock those cliches heavily like in Konosuba.
But with battle harems, I am literally drawing a blank. All of them follow the same plot structure, the same character archetypes. People bemoan how bad isekai is in their stories, but battle harems might be even worse in that regard.

Campione.
Jonathan James
Why change something that is working?
Cameron Watson

I actually enjoyed it for a school battle harem.
Tyler Johnson

James Jenkins
They are both shit so don't kid yourself.
Juan Harris
>Rakudai Literally a rip-off of Asterisk.

Battle harem is old cancer. Isekai is new cancer that's currently flooding the industry. Even so Isekai is the lesser evil since it is sometimes is less generic, albeit still full of cliches.
Oliver Mitchell
sometimes less*
I just woke up.
Robert Nelson
Is there a Isekai School Battle Harem anime yet?
Jacob Lopez
It's actually nice that it isn't harem and that MCs actually fuck.
Easton Bailey
That probably exists, but I haven't seen it yet. All the one I've read are either comedy, adventure, or a mix of both.
Noah Reed
>isn't harem Not this shit again.
Christian Evans
Is Fairy tail a battle harem?
Dominic Gray
Generic battle shounen is a different kind of evil.
Cameron Flores
Antimagic > Asterisk > Rakudai

One of his love interests is still in love with his grandfather Another one of his love interests is a man
Camden Collins
Eh. While Rakudai did overturn a lot of the cliches, it still generally stayed on the battle harem path. It's good in comparison to other BH titles, but otherwise it's not THAT special.
Landon Perry
But Isekai is as old as dirt
Matthew Thompson
Freezing and Mahouka
