This game has very much not been shy about identifying its hotties and calling them out in-universe…multiple times for some, the mc cannot currently be acknowledged as one of them which means the simplest explanation is they are in fact not one of them.
Hidden hottie is one of those things that only works for a painfully shy, mousy mc, otherwise mc and those around them would have realized it by now.
Realistically that would also be acknowledged on reality tv and in the showbiz world. By not choosing anything plain becomes the automatic default.
That is never hinted at, G’s “chosen one” is just creepy but it says more about G than it does about mc frankly.
The possibility for the mc to get some of the same treatment Blake, Seven, Orion and Rowan get. The ability for mc to be the centerfold in future photoshoots and get some better, more sexy outfits, like the stuff Rowan and Blake get. This is showbiz, not data entry or software coding, it is not exactly an industry that is appearance agnostic that goes doubly for scripted reality television. And indeed the game does not attempt to treat it as such as we can witness with multiple npc’s, the mc is the exception here.
The game very readily recognizes Rowan and Orion as hot at the photoshoot but nothing for the mc and that is the one place where you’d really expect it.
Even more of a problem the mc doesn’t exactly come across as charismatic right now ever, a lot of the outgoing options just come across as shy mc attempting to fake it and never really quite succeeding. The closest they come to smooth and charismatic is one scene with an unnamed bartender on M&S route near the beginning.
On reality TV? Oh, come on let’s be real. On reality TV the mc will first and foremost be judged by their ability to generate interesting to watch dramatic conflicts and carry storylines and products the producers want promoted, given the tensions between them and two other top bands expect the mc and their band to get far based on that alone beyond that singing will at best have an equal weight with appearance, charisma, “stage presence”, fashion choice and a billion other things, and that is assuming a fairly unbiased jury by reality tv standards. If a popular vote makes up a significant amount of the points awarded however looks and pre-existing name recognition will definitely have an outsize influence.
And of course the mc is in an extra precarious position with the cheating allegations hanging over their head like a sword of Damocles, which essentially means they will, in practice, compete or be eliminated solely at the leisure of the executives and G as in the mc case they can always announce they have found additional evidence that requires their immediate removal possibly pending investigation.
Their actual singing is probably one of the factors near the bottom of what they will be judged on in practice during the competition.
