ngl this is a pretty disappointing development. I was hoping he would keep his original figure and still become an op badass. That way the MC can learn to accept himself and teach others that his looks don’t define his character, but nope. The series was already off to a rocky start with the generic “everyone except the mc and cute girls are absolute dog shit”. I’m sorry, but no matter how many times I read it, I find it hard to believe that the MC’s entire family (excluding that Grandpa who raised at least one of the parents), all of his classmates, apparently the staff that won’t step when a student gets hospital grade injuries, and his employer all treat the MC like trash and won’t show basic human concern for him. I was however interested because I thought the MC would step into another world, gain skills, become confident in himself, and meet people that judge him based off of merit and not his looks, AND THEN he would slowly grow as a person on the inside and with his same “ugly” appearance no longer care what the people surrounding think about him and succeed and both worlds. This just feels so... basic. The MC just suddenly got granted everything he wanted and a new cool appearance without even trying. What type of message is the author trying to get across? “Don’t bother maturing; appearance is all that matters; you will be handed the change you want”? Wish Fulfillment and isekai are already too super generic tropes that are hard enough to make a good story out of. Don’t combine the two and expect the story to be taken seriously or otherwise be good. I might, buy into it if this was a comedy series and it made fun of itself and the genres (because there is a lot to make fun of here; like so bad its funny), but just the fact that I’m expected to take this seriously is sad. Not because it’s an isekai or fiction, but because it’s not even trying to tell a good story with any depth. I’d have to really hate myself and want to waste time to read this (so.... yeah.... see you guys next chapter).
