Description
Tatsuya Endou is an ordinary high school student. Speaking of how he is different from people, it’s to the extent that he has a non-Japanese grandparent. One day, however, it appears he became able to see statuses. Like that, Tatsuya peeked at the secrets of his classmates, became intimate with his girlfriend, attempted to date, and enjoyed himself in his club activities. Although sub-humans, skills, and magic appeared, he decided to not risk it. There weren’t such things like crises of the world. A gentle and slightly le*d story.

My Thoughts on He Made a Harem When Statuses Became Visible
Alright, let's dive into "He Made a Harem When Statuses Became Visible." The title alone pretty much tells you what you're getting into, and honestly, I went in with appropriately tempered expectations. This isn't high literature, but it does try to be entertaining.
First Impressions
The premise is simple: statuses become visible, and our protagonist discovers he's got the potential to build a harem. It's a setup we've seen before, but the initial backdrop, especially the involvement with the MC's family, immediately grabbed my attention. I always appreciate when authors take the time to build a solid foundation for their characters, and this novel does that reasonably well.
What Works Well
The blend of genres – comedy, ecchi, fantasy, harem, romance, school life, and supernatural – creates a fairly chaotic but often amusing experience. The game elements and level system are implemented in a way that doesn't feel overly intrusive, and the modern-day setting grounds the more fantastical elements. The author clearly had a vision for where the story was going, and for a while, it's a fun ride. I particularly enjoyed the initial interactions between the protagonist and the various potential harem members. There's a certain charm to the absurdity of it all.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the novel seems to suffer from a common web novel ailment: abrupt ending. It feels like the author, after serialization, decided to wrap things up sooner than planned. This leaves a lot of unanswered questions and a sense of unfulfilled potential. While the story reaches a decent stopping point plot-wise, I was left wanting more depth and development, particularly in exploring the relationships within the harem. The R-15 rating also feels somewhat limiting, given the ecchi and harem elements. It's there, but it doesn't fully commit, which might disappoint some readers.
Final Verdict
"He Made a Harem When Statuses Became Visible" is a flawed but ultimately enjoyable web novel. It's a fun, lighthearted read that's perfect for those looking for some escapism. However, be prepared for a somewhat rushed ending that leaves several plot threads dangling. If you're a fan of the harem genre and don't mind a bit of incompleteness, it might be worth checking out. Just don't expect a masterpiece.
