Description
The self-proclaimed ikemen elite Kobashigawa set out to Roppongi on a beautiful Friday and drank until he became drunk. He got a woman he hit on and triumphantly called a taxi to ride, but he ran wildly and was met with a traffic accident. When he woke up, he had slept in a British styled hospital room that he had never seen before. Then, he screamed when looked at the mirror. What was reflected in the mirror was not the beautiful muscle that was forged at the gym, but a girl named Ellie who was extremely ugly, fat and face full of acne. While Kobashigawa suffered from being fat and ugly, he learned about the tough circumstances of Ellie who had lost something important and decided to freely used his experiences–dieting, fashion, business activities, adventure–to live as he desired.A perfectionist ikemen who reincarnated as a fat ugly girl makes a great effort to become a beautiful person, open up a huge margin in terms of school grades, and rise up in the world with the business powers that he exhibited. A Cinderella success story.

Fatty Fugly, but Ellie Golden Is a Gorgeous Lady All the Same! Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on Fatty Fugly, but Ellie Golden Is a Gorgeous Lady All the Same!
I recently dove into "Fatty Fugly, but Ellie Golden Is a Gorgeous Lady All the Same!" and came out with a pretty positive impression. The premise alone grabbed my attention: a reincarnation story where a formerly attractive guy ends up as a plus-sized girl who's the butt of jokes? Sign me up! It's a refreshing twist on the usual isekai tropes.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn to the unique spin on the gender-bender and reincarnation themes. The title itself is a mouthful, but it hints at the story's core conflict and eventual transformation. I was immediately curious to see how the author would handle the protagonist's journey from a ridiculed figure to, presumably, a confident and capable individual.
What Works Well
The biggest strength of this novel, in my opinion, lies in its subversion of typical genre expectations. It seems we're steering clear of tired harem tropes and overly simplistic romance, which is a huge plus for me. I appreciate when authors prioritize character development and plot over gratuitous romantic subplots. The core concept of the protagonist's excess magical power being the cause of her weight is also a clever and intriguing plot device. It provides a logical (within the fantasy setting, of course!) reason for her appearance and sets the stage for her eventual transformation and empowerment. The blend of action, adventure, comedy, and supernatural elements promises a dynamic and engaging reading experience.

The avoidance of typical harem tropes and the focus on character development are major selling points for me. While the story is still ongoing, I'm optimistic about its potential and eager to see where the author takes Ellie's character arc. I'm giving it a solid recommendation for anyone looking for a fresh and engaging fantasy read with a healthy dose of self-discovery and empowerment.
