Many visual novel plots revolve around this trope, especially in eroge, but this trope isn't eroge exclusive.
- The Funbag Fantasy Series features harems consisting of very busty sexy ladies, none of them below a 90 cm bust size. The protagonists of each title are blessed with the luck of having these women as his sexual partners where they have sex with them several times. There are multiple endings on when they can get with one of them, but the true canon route is when you get with all of them as it provides the best possible outcome.
- The upcoming But I love you. is an Affectionate Parody and Deconstructor Fleet for the genre. The main character, who can be either a boy or a girl, finds themself stranded in a mysterious town when their car breaks down. The player encounters a number of girls, from the childish, passionate Ryanne to the shy, demure Alison, who all try to help them in different ways and can be flirted with. Eventually, though, the girls begin to act clingy, giving off signs of being unhinged, and the player must make a choice: either ignore the warning signs to keep courting the girls or try to escape from the town, which is afflicted with an as-yet unknown curse by a mysterious Big Bad. Among its Multiple Endings the player may either successfully complete a romance with one or more of the ladies, escape or be killed.
- All of the available sexual partners in Daughter for Dessert (minus Olivia) end up working for the protagonist at his diner.
- All the girls that the protagonist of Double Homework can have sex with are either his classmates, his sisters, or his teacher, and he can date and bed all of them with few ill effects until forced to choose one (or two) at the very end of the game.
- Higurashi: When They Cry initially seems as though it'll be one of these, what with the main character, Keiichi, being in a Games Club consisting of only four girls and himself (later adding two more girls, Shion Sonozaki and Hanyuu), and the first parts of each arc focuses on their shenanigans. Soon, though, it's revealed that this series is about something else entirely. Not to mention that in the second half of the series the position of main character shifts to Rika instead of Keiichi. It's also worth noting that only Mion and possibly Rena are actually hinted to be in love with Keiichi in the series proper, since Shion is in love with someone else, Satoko and Rika are too young, and Hanyuu is a Physical God who was married and had a daughter when she was still human. In the end, none of the girls end up with Keiichi, since the series is ultimately not about romance but The Power of Friendship.
- Kamigami no Asobi features a harem of gods - Apollon, Hades, Susano'o(a.k.a. Takeru), Tsukuyomi (a.k.a. Tsukito), Loki, and Balder.
- Muv-Luv.
- Tsukihime. Five girls with their own routes plus one without, having been Demoted to Extra. Most of them are quite violent about it too; Akiha flatly hates Ciel (who hates her back) and Arcueid (who doesn't seem to know what hate is) and those two have a 'weird friendship' that occasionally includes trying to kill each other. Akira is added in the first fandisc, Kagetsu Tohya seems to add Len considering she expresses a preference for having sex with him when making a contract and implies most of his classmates are attracted. Melty Blood adds Sion.
- Do note that this only applies to the extended Tsukihime-verse in the Nasuverse, where Shiki is actually saddled with all the girls in an Unwanted Harem. In the actual visual novel there is no harem ending (aside of Ciel's good ending, which teases a Threesome Subtext with Arcueid as the third prong).
- Key/Visual Arts' AIR, Kanon, and CLANNAD feature an ordinary (or not so ordinary) high school student who attracts girls of every moe and general description type into a long-running harem.
- Little Busters! is interesting in that it's both more and less of a harem than the others — more because all of the routes happen canonically as different timelines, meaning that all of the girls fall for him within the same reality, rather than in alternate universes as with most Key games where often only one or two girls ever like the protagonist at the same time and because the first ending explicitly leaves open the question of who he ends up with, but also less because the anime removes all Riki/girl romance except implications that Kurugaya and Rin might like him, leaving only non-haremette Suginami explicitly, and unrequitedly, in love with him.
- My Harem Heaven is Yandere Hell focuses on Yuuya and his three Childhood Friends. At first, he and his friends are trying to help save their club, but once he starts getting close to one of them, everything takes a dark turn.
- Yandere I Love You So I Want To Kill You is centered in a high school with Subaru and three attractive choices in women. Although, like the previous entry, the word "Yandere" should be noted.
- Purino Party gives the player his own personal harem. He arrives at his new private school and gets to stay at a house full of girls with unique quirks.
- Dating Sim Tokimeki Memorial, which actually revolves around building stats and managing dates on multiple girls at times to get one of loads of girls without angering the rest and ruin your game.
- Seven Hotties, All My Husbands features a strange situation where the protagonist has become part of a polygamy with seven men.
- Harem Protagonist is a particularly silly and self-aware take on the genre. For starters, the protagonist can hear and interact with the game's narrator, who is disappointed that our hero is not some suave high-school Casanova but an ordinary schlub.
- Extracurricular Activities is a Westernized take where cute schoolgirls are replaced by muscular anthropomorphic men, complete with the Childhood Friend, The Quiet One, and more.
- The Shall We Date? franchise is a Reverse Harem series - every single game has a female protagonist and the many men who are in love with her.
- Enchanted in the Moonlight is another Reverse Harem - the protagonist is being protected by five ayakashi, and will have to bear one of them a child in exchange for continued protection.
- In Starry☆Sky, the heroine is the only girl at an all-boys school, and starts being courted by twelve young men (although there are only three per game).
- In Diabolik Lovers, the heroine is sent to live in a mysterious mansion, and is courted by six vampire brothers.
- In Harem Island ~Otoko, the hero works part time at a major theme park situated on a deserted island. Among his co-workers happen to be six lovely women who cosplay as various characters (it's a fantasy-themed park). Naturally, he begins courting all the women and begins his own personal harem at the park.
- Magic-kyun! Renaissance appears to be taking this route in the anime, with Kohana meeting and forming relationships with the six main male characters.
- In Eji Koi, the heroine attends school alongside Egyptian gods, and is able to start a romance with any one of them.
- In Dream Daddy, the protagonist is romanced by seven single fathers.
- In Seduce Me (Otome), the heroine allows five incubi to stay with her, and they end up falling in love with her.
- In Star-Crossed Myth, the heroine is romanced by twelve gods of the Zodiac.
- In Uta No Prince-sama, Haruka can be romanced by six Idol Singers.
- Meiji Tokyo Renka is a Reverse Harem where the heroine Mei Ayazuki is surrounded by at least 7 attractive men each representing a famous historical figure from the Meiji period.
- Doki Doki Literature Club! starts with an ordinary high school semi-loser joining the Literature Club because it's "full of incredibly cute girls!" You have the opportunity to make choices (write poems, mostly) that will let you get closer to one of the girls, and the Player Character thinks of it pretty much in terms of raising his Relationship Value with one of the girls to the point of getting to date her — although he doesn't seem entirely opposed to pursuing multiple girls, or at least doesn't think it through. In practice, though, all the three romanceable girls remain into your character no matter whom he's been pursuing, and even if you manage to make one of them sulk. Even Monika, who's relegated to the role of some kind of an advisor character with no romance path, shows interest in you (as does your character in her). Of course, this is still not the genre of the whole game.
- Yumeria has one of superheroines who have to touch the hero in order to power up.
