I can't really recall people complaining about Melvin ugliness other then you two. Like he ain't pretty but check yourself some Shinachiku Castella works like Tina, Swordswoman of Scarlet Prison if you want to see how real ugly bastard looks like. You will be back screaming that Melvin is kinda handsome after all XD.A message to the devs about this: I actually feel exactly like this about the Melvin Route, and I have avoided it completely as soon as I could.
Haven't played the game in a while, and probably missed a whole bunch of stuff, and was thinking about playing the game from start, but I remember the starting point is Melvin, and you know what? That's making me back down. If you could tell me "updated beginning of the game so that Melvin Route is completely avoidable" for example giving TWO job choices instead of one, I would jump back in this game right away. It is just absolutely disgusting to me that this character even approaches the MC, even if it's to deny him, so.
If you have something against old dudes on psychological level, well that can't be helped.
