    Tensei Shoujo no Rirekisho - Not sure if MC is ugly or not but people have described the MC to look like "a dead frog".

    Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint - MC is probably average but he gets called ugly by everyone.

    You’re lucky I don’t know any yaoi novels.

    Must be a Chinese novel thing. Japanese people love their plain or ugly looking protagonists.

    Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai - the MC gives other people the impression he is a thug, and his reputation just makes it worse.

    Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? - the MC is a giant spider. The manga makes her look kinda cute, for a spider, but spiders are ugly anyway. Other characters usually react with "kill it with fire!" or by running away.

    What’s wrong with Yaoi? Would shounen so? Cough Boys love, be a viable reccomendation option?
