Became an Infinite Game Beauty NPC Chapter 109 Discussion

Review about the novel:

Let me first say I knew what I was getting into when I saw the title but even then,

I really feel bad for the MC.

All these men are "falling for him at first sight" or focus on him more because of his looks and how he appears to be easy to bully just because he's really "obedient", as if they didn't force him to do what they want so they can have him. I can read about yandere MLs and tolerate them but it feels really cheap when they fall for his beauty first than his intelligence or personality. It's the type of toxicity that is obsessed with only beauty.

I wanted to read the novel because of the MC but unfortunately, there are too many things that I just don't like.

About the ML:

Spoiler

This is just a guess but I'm guessing some, if not all of the men that are fighting over him, are fragments from the real ML. This idea is starting to get overused after reading several novels with the same concept. I just wish authors make new concepts that aren't just a copy from another novel.

The ML is the reason I stopped reading despite being curious about the MC. I got so exhausted whenever these men appear within the vicinity of the MC. This is weird because the normal reaction is to want them to be together but instead, I'm just repulsed.

About the audience:

Spoiler

The audience literally shows how people in real life sees beauty in a toxic way. When the novel started, the audience were really excited for the MC to die in the most brutal manner until they saw his face and started to go 180. I appreciate that they like how smart he is in some cases despite his numerous disadvantages but they, like everyone else, focuses on his face first and will always get distracted by his face every once in a while. I honestly prefer the audience that actually thinks badly about him because of his appearance (underestimating him and thinking that everyone needs to focus more on the instances than a random "NPC").

I get that most novels and even other media focus on how handsome or beautiful the character is but the author for this novel could've focused more on the MC's intelligence than his appearance. It could've at least proved that the MC has something better than his looks. The MC is actually pretty smart for someone who doesn't have a lot of skills and is always surrounded by dangerous men but it often easily gets overshadowed by his beauty.

About the arcs:

Spoiler

The first arc/introduction is kinda underwhelming compared to other infinite flow/horror novels. I was so confused about what was happening until half-way into the first arc. And the male characters that are scrambling after him aren't exactly intimidating to me except for the one with the chainsaw.

The rest of the arcs after that are pretty okay. My favorite is when he was temporarily blind because I feel that he's more cunning in that instance. Plus, the plot twist right in the middle of that arc was pretty unexpected.

But despite this, I can't even feel the suspense because again, they focus too much on his face. I'm more annoyed than scared by the horror. And I'm more exhausted than intrigued by the mystery.

[collapse]

I was going to continue reading it since I'm curious about the MC's past based on the few glimpses we get about his backstory and why he seems so used to all these desperate men but because of how much his beauty was mentioned, I got tired and dropped it. I swear, if you remove those descriptions about his looks, the novel will be much shorter.
