(Suggestions) Should I turn My Non-Human Novel into a harem novel on the side?

I thought the idea would be funny, but I am seriously considering it now, I mean I won't write it in a serious way, but I was thinking about doing it, and I was wondering if it was a good idea.

For anyone wondering one of my novels is named "Vending Machine In Another World" and I've only got 1 chapter so far

I mean, why ask? Just write whatever the hell interests you and it’ll turn out better lol.
Agree on what he said. It's your story, so you get the rights on whatever direction you would take it.

Either way, you'd have haters along the road, so gamble on it.

The most important question is:

Are you writing for yourself or for money?

Former, ask yourself if you want a harem.

Latter, ask yourself if you can cash in on them horny bois.

It is your work and whether you like it or not, there might be no people who like it, but there will definitely be people hating it.

Every idea is a good idea. It all depends of execution.
Which means if you don't think you can execute it well, it's a bad idea.

So if you think you will ever make a mistake ever with the harem, not only should you not write it, you should just throw the entire novel out.

It's kinda sad that my first thought about "vending machine with harem" wasn't "WTF?" but just "Another one? Hmm... fine, I guess"...

I had seen onsen (hotspring for non-weeb speakers), pantsu (panties for non-weeb speakers), at least the sword remains true to one master only, if not it will be very very weird...

Harem becoming a staple is inevitable, especially in terrible works to keep people hooked.

In the words of meme elders, JUST DO IT

PS if you want to, don't if you don't - simple enough, no?

None of us have the right to say what you should or shouldn't do with your own story. Anyway, Vending Machine In Another World is too similar to a Japanese novel, already been translated on Novelupdates for the past 5 years. With that title, you're gonna get a lot of accusations of plagiarism and hate-comments eventually. https://www.novelupdates.com/series/i-reincarnated-into-a-vending-machine/

Try to change the title or the story a little bit. Something along the lines of 'Vending Machine of Doom' (where the vending machine dispenses addictive sugary sodas that eventually cause everyone to die from diabetes) or 'The Heroic Vending Machine Mecha' (where the vending machine can transform into a giant monster-beating gundam) or 'Vending Machines Need Love Too!' (a smut where girls make love to vending machines). Otherwise, you will be accused of plagiarism. Whether it really is plagiarism or not, the person accusing you wouldn't care. They probably wouldn't even read the story.

As for whether or not to make it a harem, that's up to you. Ai-chan has heard people saying they hate harem, and there are also people who said they look for harem and some others don't care at all. It's all up to what kind of people you want to be your fans.

I think I will just drop my Vending Machine Novel and instead work on my Lamp one. I completely didn't know that there were already vending machine novels out there already.
