Murder Drones Harem X Male Reader Novels & Stories

Look, I had to google what a murder drone even is because that's not my usual fandom, but curiosity got the better of me. From what I gathered, that's from the indie animated series 'Murder Drones' on Glitch Productions' YouTube channel, right? The fanfic scene for it seems pretty centered on two places right now.

Archives of Our Own (AO3) is definitely the primary hub. The tagging system there means you can filter for 'Murder Drones (Web Series)', then add 'Reader' and 'Harem' tags to narrow it down. The quality tends to be higher and the tagging more consistent, but the volume might be lower since it's a newer, niche fandom. I found a handful that fit the 'Male Reader & Harem' bill, often featuring the drone characters like N, V, or J.

The other major spot is Wattpad. The search function is a nightmare, but if you type in 'Murder Drones x Male Reader harem' you'll get a flood of results. They're often shorter, more episodic, and heavy on the reader-insert wish fulfillment. The formatting can be rough with all those symbols, but that's where a lot of the immediate, prolific posting happens for this specific request.

Honestly, Tumblr and Quotev might have some scattered ones, but you're really looking at AO3 for curated finds and Wattpad for sheer quantity. Good luck, hope you find something that clicks.

Man, I fell into the 'Murder Drones' rabbit hole way earlier than I expected and I’m still bookmarking things months later. If you want popular male-reader inserts on Wattpad, start on Wattpad itself: use the search bar with phrases like "'Murder Drones' x male reader", "'Murder Drones' male reader", or "male!reader 'Murder Drones'". Once the results load, sort by "most reads" or "most votes" so the big, well-loved stories bubble to the top. From there I click into authors who have multiple fics — they usually have the same style across works and more polished plots.

Another trick that actually saved me time was checking readers’ lists and collections on Wattpad; fans make lists titled things like "Best 'Murder Drones' Reader Inserts" and that aggregates the popular ones. I also leave comments and follow authors I enjoy — they often post sequels or tag their best works, which keeps the good stuff in my feed. And watch the ratings and tags for warnings; some fics are dark, and it’s nice to know what you’re stepping into.

I’ve read a few of those fics, mostly out of morbid curiosity, and honestly the character dynamics can get pretty one-note if the writer isn't careful. The setup is usually a male reader self-insert dropped into the 'Murder Drones' setting, surrounded by drones like Uzi, N, V, and maybe some OCs. A lot of authors seem to default to a protective/possessive dynamic where all the drones are vying for the reader's attention in a slightly aggressive way, which kinda flattens their established personalities from the show. Uzi’s stubborn ingenuity gets reduced to tsundere blushing, N’s earnest kindness turns into puppy-like devotion, and V’s complex morality becomes just 'cool protective girlfriend'. It misses the point.

That said, I did find one story that played with it interestingly—it framed the 'harem' not as a romantic win but as a psychological strain on the reader character. The drones' conflicting ideologies and murderous instincts created constant tension, and the reader had to navigate their alliances to survive, with any romantic angle feeling fraught and dangerous. The dynamics became about negotiation and fear, not wish-fulfillment. More stories should try that angle; it makes the power imbalances inherent in a human-surrounded-by-killer-robots scenario actually mean something. Otherwise, it's just a coat of sci-fi paint on a tired template.
