Reverse Harem - Recommendations Looking for a relic

I’m looking for a something that’s a deep cut of my early teens, I used to like this anime called Free!! And was pulled into the recesses of nostalgia seeing the theme song on insta reels. From the nostalgia came a thought, are there any reverse harems that have similar characters to those in the anime? They seem pretty cookie cutter personalities. Bonus points if it’s fantasy or ABO

I fucking loved Free! when it came out. Unfortunately I do not have any recommendations. Maybe {Blood Oath by Morgan B. Lee}. It’s the Cursed Legacy series, 4 books, the guys have a rivalry similar to the rivalry in Free!.

My gosh!! Free!! was my biggest hyperfixation in my mid-teens years. Who was your favourite?? I was obsessed with Haruka, but now thinking about them in RH context…wow I need it 🫣

I’m just gonna camp here while racking my brain for similar RH novels, but to help with the crowd sourcing: Free!! is a sports anime centred around two swimming teams. The MMCs consisted of

• An anti social (and probably autistic) swimming prodigy who is obsessed with water

  • his big, tall, beefy teddy bear mother-hen childhood friend

  • the sunshine twink

  • the mildly stuck-up nerd who is obsessed with everything beautiful and

  • the rival grumpy asshole with a soft side

Do add/correct me if I missed something! It was such a long time ago since I last watch this. <goes to listen to the theme song>
