I have been reading a lot of isekai this summer, and I have realized something: The male harems are quite consistent across mangas...

The plain, dull, boring main character meets handsome but expressionless young or young-looking, tall men with high social positions, wealth, power and fame who, despite barely interacting with said MC and barely expresing any interest on them directly, are willing to sacrifice wealth, reputation, home, social position, family and former lover in order to help the MC even a bit... They won't openly express they romantic interest on the MC until late into the story, when they have already done loads of stuff for them, and the MC already trusts and loves them. It will take even longer for them to express a desire for physical intimancy.

There is sometimes a token tsundere who will tease the MC in childish ways, but said tsundere is often among the most effective in helping the MC.

There is sometimes a token pervert with many lovers who will express a sexual interest in the MC early in the story, but said pervert will dump them all long before they have any hope of being reciprocated by the MC...
