OFC there is no need to over analyze it, the actual reason he looks generic like every other Isekai protagonist is because that makes it easier for the main target demographic (Japanese teenage boys) to self insert in the story. And I get that they want to make gags about it but it's not well portrayed visually speaking, it's just as dumb as when people in comics can't recognize superman because he is wearing glasses...No need to overanalyze it, Makoto's appearance being comically portrayed as unattractive is just a gags element. Two years ago, during a conversation between Fuse (Author of Tensura) and Azumi Kei (Author of Tsukimichi), the author explained why everyone on goddess worlds thinks Makoto is ugly even though his face is actually ordinary, it's because he wants to write gags how ordinary people feel unreasonable because they are surrounded by beautiful people and are treated as ugly.

No, I am comparing him to other MCs because he literally looks like the other MCs, yet here is a bad thing and unrecognizable somehow. Also every other character looks better than him? literally switch only the eyes of any other human character of this manga with him an he will look like them, his pupils are the only major visual difference to any other human character here so other characters not recognizing that he is human makes no sense... at least visually speaking, I already said we are only told in the story that that's the case somehow....The mc looks average, you are comparing him to other mcs but in this manga, every character looks better than him. Unlike orc uncle who looks like a titan who ate erens mother, he isn't ugly. He is average, but since everyone else looks like a super star, his average is ugly relatively.
