Private Tutor to the Duke’s Daughter. 1-12 - Binged this over the last few weeks. The first novel was interesting enough, but I almost dropped it a few volumes in when it started to seem like the author was abandoning the plot to focus on annoying loliharem antics. Thankfully the opposite happened. The next major arc, spanned multiple volumes and pushed the harem bits into brief moments of comic relief as the real plot took center stage. Lots of big satisfying moments, world building, fun new characters, etc. a far cry from the monster of the day, school life, harem it looked like it was becoming.

The arc after was thanfully less long and less intense, but still plot focused and helped develop and improve the main relationship in the series.
