Genre-fit check: coming-of-age harem, but the "harem" part is very very patient

New here, and figured I'd just ask rather than guess.

I'm a very amateur writer working on a web serialized novel as a passion-project, but I'm not sure how much overlap it actually has with what you all read for. A character-driven, character first, coming-of-age, slice-of-life, slow burn, romcom, open harem, set in Japan in 2008, with mystery, psychological, and horror as the stage, very old-weeb coded blending seinen and shounen. It's not going straight for the sex-first alley the way I've seen some stuff in this genre lean, the harem builds slow and mostly earns itself through character and plot stuff before anything physical happens.

Like I have written 20 chapters in (a chapter ranging from 2900-5200 words, avg~ 4500) and not even a kissing scene yet. lol.

There is also dub-con and non-con planned down the line, but it will never involve any main or significant supporting character on the receiving end; more used as texture and consequence for the wider world than anything centered on the leads. It also won't have gore, but some graphic violence.

Basically, edgy weeb coming-of-age drama that happens to have a harem in it, rather than a harem story that happens to have drama in it. Does that sound like it's in your wheelhouse at all, or am I in the wrong sub?

Thank you and do let me know what you think!
