What things are you reading bc I be having the opposite problem lol every uke looks like he's been blessed by Aphrodite while the semes are the most generic 2mts tall men on existence

Just finished reading this I loved it haha. Pretty Aphrodite blessed seme and hot buff manly uke blessed by the booby deities.
Daaaammnn I'm definitely checking this out
I was just thinking this
Yesss so true!!
I mean sure, there are a few where the uke is beautiful (always beautiful, NOT handsome and manly, apart from a few exceptions) but most times even if the uke is not that plain the seme is the most good looking man alive in their universe that everybody has a crush on I'M SO TIRED OF THAT.
Even when the uke is indeed handsome, the seme is always made EVEN MORE handsome. Can't we have more variety with ukes that are more good looking than their seme? Possibly not because they look like a woman and make all the guys lust after them just because of that??
(And let's not talk about the personality. It's even more obvious in love triangles where two extremely hot guys fight to the death over a mc that has less personality that the essays I was forced to write in middle school, my God)
I haven’t read these simply bc of the plain mc, but examples are Jinx, backlight, guildmaster next door, any guidverse that isn’t guiding hazard, undercover partners, BJ Alex, most popular ones tbh
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEANN, and omg the reason they look like women isn’t diversity for fem ukes it has to be for people to project onto, the same reason why anime isekai mcs are all plain and look the same for men to pretend it’s them like cmon they’re the MC if they’re boring then who am I supposed read for??
I never understood this thing about plain main characters for projection. I mean, when I read a story I immerse myself and feel like I am the protagonist but I'd rather be hot?? If you're plain irl wouldn't you rather experience being extremely hot second-hand?
And even without projecting, like you said, wouldn't you rather read about a charismatic and interesting main character?
FRR like who do I look like imagining myself as a boring plain mc when I can be the coolest character in the series
Am I the only one sick of boring plain looking ukes, you’ll have the ML being the most interesting and handsome character then an uke who has the personality of a wet rag and looks like a background character…
