battle school harem is generally a bad idea, rather than trope, I'd say the main problem is that it too restrictive toward MC, since MC is essentially locked into school ground or vicinity with fixed schedule. And that you have to make many arc involved it. It is ok sometimes with good writing with series like Basileus, but in general, the restrictive nature is still present. And MC status as students is locking down MC options even more. Even if MC is OP, such as Godsuya, we still have the situation surround school only and the entire support cast is consist of mostly students and teacher can make it stale even with good writing.

If you have to use school trope, I'd say it better to make MC an adventurers who got a job to protect the schools for a period and known the students that way, much better and much less stale, since MC circle now also consist of fellow adventurers taking same jobs, students, teachers, people in the town, .... Not just fellow students and teacher. And MC have much greater degree of freedom in story, such as no class time, no involvement in activities, the author can easily choose whether to involved MC in it or not. Removing the effectively the biggest weak points of school trope that is repetitive schedule of students.

well as for vtubers, not much surprising since that is a very famous rabbit hole that many happily falling down toward
