I joke about Zaizen Eba from Suicide Club being almost me, but male version. Aside from rich and caring parents, anxious with likes and comments on social media, feel envious of other people's happiness, and obsessed by some mascot, I think he was the closest character to evoke the "omg, literally me" feeling.

if uglymug, epicfighter got an adaptation, something like what you want probably could too, if it got enough support.

Try getting serializations first.
Or a fucking cosplay. On a goddamn bike. Or transformer.

>I really wish there was a visual novel game that features an ugly female protagonist
Otometeki Koi Kakumei Love Revo (an otome game) features a female protagonist who is fat and ugly, but the goal of the game is to lose weight :/ That's the closest I can think of.

On the western side, there's Sword Daughter, a really short otome game on Steam that has a very western art style (not in a bad way, though). Tyrna the protagonist isn't exactly what I'd call "ugly", but rather, a bit "plain", although some would say the art style makes her look ugly simply because they think realistic = ugly. The main love interest is a pretty elf guy, but to be honest, the romance elements aren't very strong, but I liked it a lot nonetheless. Iirc it's an adaptation of a real choose your own adventure book or something like that, which imo, gave it a distinct feel different from your average anime-inspired OELVN.

There's another otome OELVN called Yrsa Major where the protagonist is a woman who's not conventionally attractive. She's a big and strong lumberjack who wants nothing but to protect her poor village. Although you probably won't like it if you hate unconventionally attractive submissive ojisan characters kek. It's an absurdly specific niche that caters to my preferences, but I know there's plenty of women who would find it disgusting (although to be fair he's a magical being that took on that form for no particular reason other than being the dev's fetish, so he isn't really an older man). If you don't mind this though, you'll probably like it because it's an extremely comfy VN!

Don't know if you're interested but there have been a lot of indie Japanese otome games (many of them free) where you can't see the protagonist at all (or you can only see their arms sometimes), POV-style. But of course you're gonna have to know Japanese or use something like VNR to read them lol.

>I'm honestly debating making one on my own but idk where to start
Start by writing the story, worry about the art, music and programming later. Making a simple VN on Ren'Py is easy as shit.

The author is a woman. And Gojo is very popular among female fans.

The manga is clearly aimed at scrotes. Pickme authors are a dime a dozen. I guess the Kodomo no Jikan author being female means that manga isn't for male pedophiles, huh?
>Gojo is very popular among female fans.
He's just cute enough to get women to simp for him, but not enough to upset the scrotes who are meant to self-insert as him. A male character from a work of fiction getting female fans doesn't mean shit. It happens all the time even when said character wasn't meant to be appealing to real women.

It's very likely that this series is kind of like a fantasy of the author's. She might have incredibly low standards for males and imagine herself as a sexy Stacy with a shy, loser moid fetish because she thinks they're better than a non-loser one (as is often the case with women with low self-esteem). Or she might've consumed so much anime and manga for males that she became attracted to those loser self-inserts, then made her own loser male protagonist who is slightly cuter than average. Those are the likely possibilities, but regardless, the target audience is still male.

Another, more hopeful possibility is that she wanted to make a manga for women where the male is cute and submissive (nothing wrong with fantasizing about your ideal shy guy), but manga editors/publishers, being the sexist pieces of shit that they are, didn't allow her to release it on a female-oriented (shoujo/josei) magazine due to it having a dominant/assertive female lead and a submissive/passive male lead (this is a real thing that happens btw; these days they want shoujo/josei to be as stereotypical as possible), so she was forced to publish it on a magazine for men (seinen), which of course meant that she had to change her manga to make it more appealing to a moid audience (another actual thing that happens in the manga industry), hence the protagonist being the guy, him being more "relatable" to scrotes, and all the ecchi shit.

I'd not be surprised if you shared this image and told me that it's from a cheap hentai OVA from the 2000s because that's what it actually looks like.

agree! she's so cute!

If you could ask younger me I would have definitely said Rocky from Shake It Up. I love her girly dancer wear outfits and I wanted to be her so bad as a kid

phoebe buffay from friends had so many fun outfits imo! always loved the whimsy vibe she gave off. as for satc, carrie in that floral dress was sooooo pretty

such a shame the creator (a moid) groomed a teen. iirc fluffle puff is based on said teen.
