AnimeCon Harem

The overall story is very well written. From style, story, and characters, the overall story brings hours of joy reading; making you mostly smile and wanting more.

Yes, this story does has some lustful scene's but nothing outrageous. You are reading a title that has the word "harem" in it. It's not all smut and is accompanied by an actual story with well thoughtout characters, making the overall story very enjoyable.

Each character has unique in mannerisms, speech, and actions. The MC Brian is very down to earth and is very human. Not heroic in any sense, but just what an average decent person with multiple love interests. The antagonist Chloe on the other hand is an insane psychopath girlfriend, who's hell bent on ruining Brian. She's still funny to read nonetheless. Each love interest is unique in their own way and potentially very human like.

The only regret after reading the 75 chapters loaded to Royal Roadis, the author has not loaded any additional chapters to finish the story. As of today, you will have to pay thru Patron to read up to chapter 124. The overall journey was great and I do highly recommend reading for anyone interesting in this sort of comedy, slice of life, harem genre. Just be forewarned that the the story is not complete on Royal Road...

Dont be fooled - this is definitly a dirty story, with just as much page time given to the sex scenes as the character scenes. 

That being said, the sex scenes are hot, and are tied directly into the larger narrative of this harem charm. Recent chaptera have started actually developing some interesting questions from the characters about what is happening (beyond just giving a token reason to bang). I want to see where he goes with this, and how they will handle the magic powers outside the bubble of the anime convention.

all the characters are interesting, flawed indiviuals with different wants and needs. And although at first the magic harem charm seems to wash away all hangups and problems, the author has done a surprisingly good job of not just hand waving issues away (although I'm giving some trust here that some issues hinted at will be addressed down the road.) But so far he has managed to give decent character development to every one, including different reasons and motivations for being with the main character. From the best friend, the ultra shy virgin, the world-weary scene goth, and warrior babe with issues - everyone fits into a trope/archetype, but still feel like real people. Partially at least because they are all aware of how tropey this whole thing is, and are questioning their circumstances. 

And his metaphor game is choice - the magic charm that kick starts this story gives the whole thing a soft magic system that im really interested in exploring more. 

And the sex scenes are hot, with genuine emotion in the interactions. 

This story is less about a man and a group of woman getting it on. Its about a guy that has been conditioned and emotionally stunted, not being able to express his feelings like a person should. The character is constantly changing. The change isn't quick but its so tangible and relateble. The power and magic is just a catalyst starting the story and development. The anticipation isn't when they have sex or how they have sex, the anticipation comes from the interaction between characters and the obstacle they face. The whole story is the meaning of don't judge a book by its cover, and only those that dig deeper will strike gold. This piece is a nugget that needs to polished. The harem is just a bonus to the story and meaning is something i can sympathize with.

Honestly I always hated the thought that a harem is something that could only be trashy. Every concept can be made into a well told story and this story so far proves that. The characters are getting really fleshed out, and I especially love how differently people react and think about the prospect of them being influenced by the harem charm.  So being completely on board while others are hesitant. I didn't really notice many grammar mistakes either. So far the story and the NSFW content are well spread. This is ultimately a character driven story its plot is more a catalyst to explore the characters and their unique relationship with eachother and how they grow from their interaction and the effects of the harem charm. So the plot itself isn't the focus so if your for a grand sweeping narrative then that's not what your going to get. I think the character that I want to learn the most about right now is Rebecca.

This is a very engaging seriously hot harem tale with a twist. I have been reading it for ages and love how real and relatable the characters are. No superheroes just normal flawed humans. The whole premise is set around an anime expo , conference. It follows the beautiful but socially awkward Stephanie as magic happens in her life and she meets Brian, Kelly a scene girl with a chequered past has come to the con to say her final goodbyes and befriends Stephanie acting as first her fairy godmother and then her bisexual ;over, helping her in her growing romance with Brian

Unlike most stories of the Harem genre, FortySixtyFour has written one in which the characters have lots of depth and are not easily forgotten. Instead of a male protagonist who chases girls or has a unique charm that draws girls to him, the main characters seem to fall together like pieces of the same puzzle: they complement each other, and you see more of the complete picture when they are together.

Entire chapters are devoted to building up and discussing the characters in the story. Readers get to know why the characters have the personalities they do, why they have certain insecurities and traits, and readers also get to see these unique characters interact and impact each other- build each other up in exchanges.

The story itself is not at all rushed. Not to say that there aren't spontaneous or exciting developments that you do not expect or see coming, but most scenarios unravel and progress at a nice, digestible pace. At the time of writing this review, I have yet to feel burnt out by any aspect of the story :)

When I started reading this, I thought it would be one of those wish-fulfillment fantasy type fics. Little did I know that the characters are truly 3 dimensional and the way they interact in the social web around them is organic and entirely compelling. 

Do you enjoy reading erotica?

Yeah.

Do you like reading about harems of mind boggling sexy women begging to serve your every need?

Yeah!

Do like reading about hot sexy women being slowly brainwashed into passionate obsession and lust for you? Their bodies forcebly twisted into ever sexier caricatures of themselves, all to better serve as vessels for your pleasure.

Uh?

Do you enjoy reading about hourny bisexual sluts disciusing their hopes ands fears, contemplating thier rich emotionly detailed and tragic back storys and having intricate personel relationships outside the context of fucking?

What?

Do you enjoy reading self aware mindless smut that both exemplifies and parodies the inherent trope of the harem genre. With deep meaningful relations being set up not only between the main character and his harem, but between the women of the harem as well, making for a true polymarious relationship that actually accounts for logistics and demands of such a relationship.

Wouldn't that be mindful smut then?

Do you enjoy sick, filthy, disgusting romance?

Why was that the part you make sound weird?

Then you should read Animecon Harem. A good harem story.

……, I never knew how much I wanted this.

This story is absolutely incredible, one of the most character driven stories I've ever read. As a comment on this story said, "I came for the smut, and stayed for the love." 

The style is wonderful. The constantly changing perspectives give every character their time to show growth and change. I usually prefer to focus on the main character, with only a few perspective changes, not the issue handles it beautifully. 

The story is funny and ridiculous, but no less engaging, always making me turn the next page. An anime-esque storyline taking place during a comic con fuelled by a mysterious harem charm. 

I don't think I've seen a single grammar mistake this entire time, so hats off to 4064 for that. They've done a great job with every aspect of this story. 

And the characters. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would, because that is what this story is about. Character growth for the entire cast, even  the ones not in the harem as they all experience everything that life has to offer in the span of a weekend and become all the better for it. It's one of the best character driven stories I have ever read.

Give this story a try. It's fantastic. This author really is something special. 

I left this review on amazon and am just pasting it over here. The reason is the appeal to the author to create a author page so I can follow on amazon so I get notifications when new works by him come out. I had read his other story a while back and had no clue this had been released. I loved the Trailer Trash story and hope more of it comes out. I would have read the first book of this a lot sooner

Though this is a harem themed book and most of those are really superficial, I found this to dig deep in character building for all the main characters. It sucked me and and held me and I was pissed at the cliff hanger ending that meant I couldn't keep reading. luckily it also said the next two books are already published on royalroad.com, so immediately happy again. I read about 500 books a year, more than 350,000 pages. I won't say that this is in the top ten books I have read in the past year but it is definitely in the top 20. I will read anything this author puts out in the future. Keep up the good work.
