I held a small hope that they'd subvert expectations and actually get a dude, but yeah. A harem manga's gonna harem.
Yk, I could actually see a plot where they'd get a middle aged dude blacksmith but still have a harem of women: the blacksmith has a daughter.
Idk how, but papa blacksmith had to sell himself to slavery to save his daughter, or whatever.
Then the Daughter goes after MC when she finds out her Dad's been bought, then you have plenty of ways to integrate her into the party then.
She could join the party to be close with her dad. She could try and attack the party to free her dad. Plenty of things you could do.
But I guess that's too much work for the author, so whatever. Still enjoyable, even if predictable
