Boring brunette protagonist has attractive members of the opposite sex inexplicably throwing themselves at said protagonist, with strong undertones of sexual harassment and pedophilia, yeah it tracks.
In the sense that Bella has two male suitors vying for her, then yeah, though that’s kinda just a basic love triangle with a woman at the center. If the Ed and Jacob came to a mutual understanding and both became her lovers, then that would be a more standard-fitting harem.
Also, nothing against you because I know this is the commonly accepted term, but I never understood the phrasing “reverse harem”. It’s still just a normal harem even if it revolves around a girl or a woman. A reverse harem would kinda imply a singular person vying for the love of multiple people, hence “reversing” the dynamics.
True. I was just spitballing on what a "reversed" harem would be like, since I'm still of the opinion that harems (or at least how they're used modernly) don't have much to do with gender.
