I mean if you've ever been to an anime con like me you know the majority of fans are overweight (and these are the ones who are willing to crawl out of their cave), I mean if you're going the fan service route of making the character thin to make the viewer happy at that point why not just make the self inserts really good looking instead of plain looking?

Are generic Korean manhwa protagonists any better? I haven't read any. How are they different?

the majority of isekaishit fans are japanese (so black hair, hence the dark blue blackish hair) and thin, being fat is an amerilard thing and not specific to anime

They have nice jawlines and prominent cheekbones and pretty thick necks too by the looks of it, all in all very good eye candy compared to whatever was in my original picture.

All of those guys already are good looking though. They simply have dark hair and eyes, which I guess is enough for the average Japanese otaku to look at and say "Yeah that's basically me".

Japanese obesity rate is 3%. Wonder why we don't see a lot of fats in their media?

It's because you are completely retarded and you have been making these threads for all this time without ever understanding the appeal of these characters - which is that they can be IGNORED while you focus on the hot sexy bitches.
Not even the loneliest incel escapist wants a fatass blubbering around the screen and homosexual faggots who want "really good looking guys" aren't watching these shows to begin with.

maybe bento by itself doesnt make you fat, if you ate 3 pizzas afterwards it would? all the Acell World-type otakus eat pizza but most stick to a bento.

the self-inserts are the ideal avatars they want to represent them. the hairstyle of each of the MCs in oppic is what sells it for me.
i tried to get that hairstyle when i was younger but it requires a lot of layering and blading and costs like $50 to get. i also didn't have the hair volume for it
