Starts of like a Romance, coming-of-age type of story, sprinkled with darker themes like bullying, gangsters and ostracization.

Our MC is Joonwoo who hates himself and his only pastime is video games and Random Chat - an app where you meet random persons, where he can be anonymous with blank slates - no one will know his past history or his school life - where he gets picked on...

Be warned though, it WILL get frustrating, as the MC is changing quite slowly (too slowly???), while most of the people around him are all either inhumanly strong / smart as if they are superheroes (almost like mind-reading or inciting the whole school with rumors in a blink of an eye) or incredible (dys)functional people with anti-social personality delinquents with abusing parents, cold-blooded manipulative sociopaths, victimization + dependancy disorder and of course we must also have a borderline personality disorder character.

After 135 chapters, i have to say, if you manage to survive the first chapters, and gets invested in the characters, you will get frustrated later on because the "main story" doesn't progress as all the secondary antagonists just keeps on pooling up and the MC just keeps on making enemies without an inch of an afterthought of the consequences or how to solve them more smartly(?)

Nothing neat about the MC, but you still gets invested and hopes for the better, for him and his friends...

Enough rambling for me, i guess i would say Lookism is a "better version" and if you like dark themed school focused series with fighting, romance and psychological abusive - then it's worth a shot!
