Neither did I want to allude that Mahouka's protagonist had anything like a "harem". If I am honest, it has been quite some time since I last checked the translation but all I remember of the plot can be summarized as "Stuff happened, but then Oni-sama came and saved the day!".

Spoiler for "rant" concerning Mahouka you can skip:

The various political plots were somehow interesting (and compared to the stuff some other LNs try to sell as plot is was rather good) but in the end everything was more or less solved by "Oni-sama" and his judicious application of oni-sama-power... unless the plot involved one of his friends, in which case the friend was able to win the battle because oni-sama kindly supported him/her beforehand.

But in the end it all comes back to Tatsuya. Always.
The supporting characters might be able work hard on their own and become strong without having Tastuya give them new toys/ideas... but what if Tatsuya never existed? There would have never been a reason for them to train so hard.

That was a just a grievance I have with published LNs in general. Unless the author caters to (at least) one target audience's fetishes tastes it never reaches the printing machines, or at least it never reaches this corner of the world as an english version...
I read stories for the plot... if I want to read about "teens" fondling each other and/or do a "Yin-Yang-Union" I go and ask Google for Ero-Fanfics.

(Sorry for slightly derailing the thread)

I see, well back onto your question, I'd say give this one a try as you wouldn't know if you will like or dislike it until you've read it
