Opinions on a balding, fat, middle-aged male protagonist? (Oji-san stereotype)

[Red Dreamer]

​

Hey guys, I'm developing a Visual Novel and just really want to know the opinion people have on the protagonists they play. I consume a lot of visual novels shared and made in this place, but a common trait in all of those AVNs is the protagonist being a young horny guy fucking his way through the game with a build that goes from twink to greek god. I've enjoyed my time with all of those and though I'm closer to the coming-of-age guys since I'm still in my twenties, I'd like to make my protagonist an oji-san, simply because I think it is funny, that being said I'd like the opinion of the forum.

As it stands, in the plot of my VN, at some point late during the prologue. you go from a 19 year old to a forty to fifty something looking guy with a soft belly, balding head and glasses. The funny part in my opinion is still having the dynamic of "OH I WANT TO FUCK MY """LANDLADY""" SO BAD" while looking older than her, as well as joining an academy of wizards filled with cute young magic casting girls for your enjoyment.

I personally don't really care how the male protagonists look as long as they aren't completely unlikeable, a complete pushover bitch or an overly dramatic guy.

Tell me how do you guys feel about it, as well as the visual novel having the common pervert oji-san porn tropes. I'll also include some CGs from the main girls of the household as well as the protagonist (I'm using camera tricks to keep him faceless).

It's about representation. Video games need more gross middle aged men.

Well in terms of self inserting the moderation team will soon allow your game on here if so.

Well, isn't it what fictions are for, not being yourself the time of a story?

forty to fifty something looking guy with a soft belly, balding head and glasses.

Weird, 53yo me have no soft belly nor balding head, while I wear glasses since I'm 7yo.

Oh, 40-50 man passing wanting to fuck younger women and surrounding himself with cute young girls. Never happened ever in all human history, not even through Zeus spanning more bastard than a horny rabbit.
I propose that we call this "midlife crisis".

Young players wouldn't like to impersonate a middle aged MC, while middle aged players wouldn't recognize themselves in the MC as you describe it.

You want to have a middle aged MC, and want to hide the only part that will actually make him looks middle aged. Now, this is a bright and new idea...

If I'm going to be staring at it while beating my meat, I don't think it's too much to ask for everyone on screen to be attractive
