Anyway it may just be a difference of standards. I'd like to know just what series people "lied" to you about for reference. I mean, some might not think it "harem" if the hero is only interested in one specific girl and the rest are just interference, or it could really be a pseudo-harem like GJ-bu, where there is no romantic content at all aside from one or two spots (a guy and a girl doesn't on its own amount to a romance, and two guys or girls don't automatically amount to BL/yuri, so a guy and several girls doesn't on its own amount to harem). Same goes with OP, it could be a matter of perspective. In most worlds Goku and Vegeta would be considered OP, but in the Dragon Ball universe the enemies/obstacles they're consistently faced with are so far beyond them that they have to grow even stronger to manage. Are they absurdly strong? Yes. Are they OP? Depends on your definition. I'd say a guy with a minor amount of magic would be OP if the power is rule-breaking for that world and he never/rarely faces any threat that can't easily be stopped. On the other hand, I wouldn't consider a person with the power to level mountains to be OP if it's hardly uncommon for him to face enemies who eat stars.
Ultimately, it's a matter of perspective. Rather than treat them like liars or something, maybe just try and be a bit more clear about what you feel does and doesn't constitute "OP", "harem", etc. It swings both ways after all; if you suggested those shows to someone who wanted an OP harem protagonist they might've come back to you complaining that the guy never has any relationships with the girls and is constantly getting beaten up by God.

I dont remember the exact titles off hand but they were the usual isekai titles. You know the type, ordinary japanese highschooler gets isekaied and gets a cheat and a party full of hot girls in 3 chapters and he is stronger than s-ranked adventurers or something. And every arc is about him beating up some "bad guy" and adding a new girl to his harem who instantly falls in love with him.
The strange part is when i go back to these people and tell them that the series isnt what they described, they lose their shit and start screaming insults at me, accusing me of lying, etc. Its impossible to have an actual discussion with them where we give examples to backup our arguments, etc. And if its on some place like reddit with a voting system, i just get mass downvoted as well.
Edit : Oh one title i can think of is "The Exiled Reincarnated Heavy Knight Is Unrivaled In Game Knowledge", so i looked at the first few chapters and even though he's supposed to be "weak",
in one afternoon he leveled up and became strong enough to tank a raid boss. When i pointed that out and said "hey, you said he wasnt OP, but he became this strong in just one afternoon while everyone else trains for way longer to reach the same level...", i just got attacked, accused of lying, blind, etc.
