Odd choice of medium for this story. In anime, it's the fat, ugly dudes that get all the women.

as someone who's up to date with the webtoon, the series currently doesn't resemble what you see here, lol.

I sometimes wonder how it got to where it has, but it's pretty ridiculous (the difference between the current story and its original premise).

edit: I like the series, though, so don't take that as me attacking it.

A bullied high-school student is tormented every day of his life. One day he wakes up in a new body that can do amazing things. He basically is now super strong and handsome and fit. His old body is sleeping on the floor. Then he decides to use his new body to defend other bullied people.

overweight, bullied kid convinces his mom to let him transfer schools far away.

he's successful, and moves into a cheap studio kinda apartment (the kind you might see in South Korean fiction).

he goes to sleep, and finds that he now has a perfect body, and notices his original body on the floor.

it turns out that whenever he sleeps in one body, he controls the other, so he decides to start his new school life in the new body.

it ends up being more than that, but that's how it is for the beginning of the series.

edit: too late

It's fine. You know more than I do. You've actually read the webtoon. I'm just going off the trailer

it's all good, your description is more to the point, especially for someone who's looking for a synopsis of what the trailer represents.

I'm going to put spoiler tags in case if me asking this is a spoiler but does the second body on the floor ever get addressed or is it one of those stories that plays it straight and never gets addressed? I kind of want to know to see if this is something I really want to invest in.

you're welcome.

but yea I think it's a series that's worth checking out, but it might take a while until the anime gets to the more interesting parts (assuming it's not dropped).

yea, it becomes a high school battler, which involves different gangs.

and yes, it's from the same guy behind Viral Hit.

if you haven't checked it out yet, he's behind another series called "My Life as a Loser", which can get to be pretty hilarious, IMO.

Lookism is a term that describes the discriminatory treatment of people who are considered physically unattractive.

Incel stuff?

nice ill check it out. v hit was my jam, but i had a hard time getting into lookism cause the art style (at least in the early chapters) was kinda spotty and webtoon westernized the shit out of the translation.

I don't think it's that deep; it's more about how a high school kid is treated because of his appearance (at least, initially).

if it was an incel story, the main character would attack girls with his new body. But the trailer only shows him fighting male bullies

It was a hentai joke. The fat ugly bastard cucking some dude is a very common trope.
