Pathetic MCs

Unfulfilled in life, unable to be vulnerable, or crumbling under bad circumstances- these characters will either arouse pity or contempt as they flounder about in self-wallowing.

-Socially awkward / NEETs 
-Crushing on someone out of their league
- Inferiority complex / Insecurity about not being good enough 
-Bullied (and doesn't fight back)
-Dillusioned about life
- Mediocrity / plain / boring

Do you know a story where the uke used to have petite and cute body, but he grows to be tall with glasses and "loses" his "charm" and when he reunites with seme who loves his petite body, seme didn't recognize him at first? But he still likes him cause he's still has cute personality and loves cooking for seme
