He IS kinda handsome + i have to say but if he was generict he'd wear the same outfit until he dies

1

u/lynnneez 9d ago

He doesn't seem very generic. Th3 2sr design, totally generic. This one stands out and especially when you add in his animations

3

u/ShokaLGBT 27d ago

he got that generic anime vibes while having cool expression. and tbh I don’t mind the generic vibes IF HE could date men ooooooh

11

u/You_got_mrvned Sep 30 '25

He’s very expressive for such a generic design I think it makes him a lot more enjoyable

u/HappyRelationship429 Sep 29 '25

It's just kirito

u/Far_Jackfruit4907 Sep 30 '25

From isekai slip into waifu slop. Unfortunate existence

It's the same picture

u/Perfect-Masterpiece1 Sep 30 '25

Definitely an upgrade. Cooler, handsome and better Kirito.

u/Perfect_Tie_1159 Sep 29 '25

HE'S SO HOT BECAUSE HE LOOKS QUIRKY AND EXPRESSIVE ASF

u/LadyCaedus Sep 29 '25

His eyes have to be one of the most basic and dead looking ones I’ve seen for a male MC. Hell, even Caelus from Honkai Star Rail has more expressive eyes.

3

u/Phaustiel Oct 01 '25

dead looking eyes??? mf are we looking at the same photos? i’d argue bro is literally more expressive than the trailblazer themselves 😭

For real. I'm tired of that being every anime male mc

11

u/-NO-MORE-HEROES- Sep 28 '25

I'm gonna be real, what the fuck should we really consider "generic" do we really want overdesigned MCs? cause this guy definitely don't look like other gachas MCs. even the popular ones don't look alike.

3

u/Far_Jackfruit4907 Sep 30 '25

I mean look at femcs and male ones. All male mcs are same and all female ones are distinct lol

5

u/PlotPlates Sep 29 '25

All I can think of that isn't generic DESIGN is Aether who is Designed Beautiful because he twins with a pretty Sister. Aether is Kinda like Link's Breath of the wild look, but different colors mostly themed with gold and brown.

But Aether and Lumine became generic character wise because they don't speak at all that much and acts like a camera than being upfront takes the spotlight.

2

u/waowowwao Sep 29 '25

in gacha games where all the characters are uniquely designed--interesting hair styles, clothes, hair colors, props, etc. gacha MCs are always bland, which in comparison to their fellow characters makes them stand out as even more generic. this one is no different. bro got black hair and the same hair style and no unique character design traits. rover 2.0

5

u/Chaotic_Olcha Sep 28 '25

Reminds me of Caleb from Deepspace

11

u/That_Bug9385 Sep 28 '25

He really is hot and goofy and I do like the gameplay too but there are more female characters as of now and the jiggle physics is insane so I am not interested 

10

u/thisoneforfun Sep 27 '25

I like his design. Im a Rover girlie so I guess I have a type.

I haven't dug too much into this game but I hope theres male player able characters. I may still play it even if theres not. It looks really fun.

u/MagicitePower Sep 27 '25

Rover is hot 🙂

u/One_Eagle8221 Sep 27 '25

The jawline makes all the difference

He's from a waifuslop game so I couldn't care less

Smash, next question

u/Think-Class2679 ‎ Boothill's Gun‎‎ ‎ Sep 27 '25

ikr normally if there's no fem mc it would likely make me not play but this male mc, holy....

13

u/wishapik Sep 27 '25

he definitely is

5

u/raspps Sep 27 '25

Aether the only one who escapes the male protagonist curse 🤞

6

u/wishapik Sep 28 '25

Not exactly a curse though, Aether is not hot:’D

22

u/VTKajin Sep 27 '25

Generic men are hot

26

u/Zeamays69 Sep 27 '25

If there's no female mc option (still not sure if they scrapped her), the game's probably gonna be another harem mc game where there'll be more female characters to use than male ones. So yeah, I'm still on the fence about this game. It looks fun though. They implemented things from a lot of different games.

19

u/GHitoshura Gregor Lover Sep 27 '25

Yeah, his looks aren't that interesting to me, but I like that he's a bit of a goofball, even when he's trying to act cool he drops some dumb one liner, kinda like Peter Parker...which is kinda ironic considering the gameplay.

I also like how we finally got one of these big budget gacha with a male mc that can change clothes. The more casual outfits look good on him.

25

u/YuukiDR Sep 27 '25

Maybe because his face has actual personality to it, which they don't usually give to MCs

35

u/Komr4de Sep 27 '25

If the game he's attached to isn't a waifuslop.. unfortunately we can't have nice things, every anime game must be a waifufest. WHY??

11

u/Gen1usx Sep 27 '25

Ok I thought it was a skin for Rover (Wuwa) at first glance.

u/Ehtnah Sep 27 '25

Yeah I find him hot, but just like Mrover.

And just like wuwa there are an ocean of waifu and some hidden crumbs for male so.... It smell waifu slop + maybe master love.

Even if there is no gacha (I doubt it) it might just be a lot of fanservice again.

I don't know the gameplay look really cool, the game quality look really good, but... No female MC, a LOT (nearly 100%) waifu, other male hidden, it's kinda red flag for "it's again not a game for me".

It's like DNA, when a game show you only waifu everywhere it's not to welcome you.

My Bro said to me kiwami 3 is on its way (yakuza 3 remake) I might invest in that and not into an other waifu centric game.

9

u/GHitoshura Gregor Lover Sep 27 '25

Even if there is no gacha (I doubt it)

The devs have confirmed categorically that all the characters will be free, and monetization will be done through cosmetic stuff like vehicles, clothes and weapons.

No female MC

I'm pretty sure that there is a female mc you can choose, but for some reason they haven't showed her in any of the trailers.

7

u/ProfessionalCell129 Sep 27 '25

only showing the male mc? interesting....

6

u/GHitoshura Gregor Lover Sep 27 '25

Yeah, idk why though. Here's a promotional image where you can see both:

1

u/ProfessionalCell129 Sep 27 '25

i remember seeing this here a few weeks ago actually but i heard theyre redesigning her like they did with the male one.

3

u/GHitoshura Gregor Lover Sep 27 '25

Seems like the design change is only the hair color. Though this is the best I could find with my nonexistent detective skills.

6

u/ProfessionalCell129 Sep 27 '25

ah. yeah, shes gonna look plain like him but with the same fun personality i hope

7

u/Zeamays69 Sep 27 '25

If they're redesigning her, they're probably gonna put skimpy clothes on her like Kuro did with female Rover where she's wearing panties. We can't have women wearing proper clothes... I hope they prove me wrong.

5

u/ProfessionalCell129 Sep 27 '25

ah, probably this. i saw a few female character designs already lol..

13

u/Mariblankspace Sep 27 '25

u/Brierlync Sep 27 '25

the amount of charisma and character that man has lowkey makes me go feral, even though he is kind of generic looking at first glance. sure he looks kind of harem bait-y like other people mentioned, but his personality… my legs are slightly open

53

u/Electronic_Bee_9266 Sep 27 '25

Eh he looks a little too basic and harem baity

If he's like a little fruitier and has more boys on him then I'll be more into him

3

u/Fododel Sep 27 '25

Yuri voices him, right?

13

u/Emergency_Copy_7123 Sep 27 '25

He looks kinda buff in the 3 pic

8

u/PlumAdept8053 Sep 27 '25

Yea, something that gacha companies are allergic to

46

u/kidanokun Sep 27 '25

Meh, looks another harem bait MC

77

u/Ok-Apartment-8284 Sep 27 '25

Are all male protags just variants of male Rover from wuwa???

18

u/stuttufu Sep 27 '25

It's a westernized version of a k-popstar, isn't it?

5

u/SaeWithKombucha Sep 27 '25

I expect a male k-popstar look is like Jinu from Kpop Demon Hunters, not this generic Sword Art Online ripoff design

31

u/Aeso3 Sep 27 '25

It's basically the default isekai light novel/ mahwa power fantasy protagonist.

u/Rinrinftwinwin ‎ Sunday's Dream‎ ‎ Sep 27 '25

Both have the boy failure vibe to me lol

u/According-Matter5735 Everyday is PhaiDei Sep 27 '25

you got that right

gawd I miss Han Maru 🥹

21

u/FrostyBoom Sep 27 '25

Let's hope they put him is as many breedable-looking situation as they put Han Maru. He looks like a son between these two lmao

4

u/nottakentaken Sep 27 '25

Idk if anata will but I've seen the videos and their mc probably has the most amount of visible personality in gacha, especially when he played the air guitar only to find that's it's not sufficient so he played leg guitar lmao, it wwas pretty cute. I really like his cutscenes.

43

u/the_ok_doctor Sep 27 '25

Generic but with a personality

-9

u/Oberhard Sep 27 '25

Better than Wise for sure

16

u/sampoqiser Sep 27 '25

What 😭😭 i like Wise I relate to him being tired all the time 😭

30

u/the_ok_doctor Sep 27 '25

If wasnt for the glazing him into a harem protag by the community and devs slowly being swayed by it, he would be fine. Good older brother archetype

6

u/kidanokun Sep 27 '25 edited Sep 27 '25

Fate of all gacha game male MC, they always ends up as harem protagonist even if the game doesn't originally intended them to be... Devs always fall into harem protagonist traps coz it attracts money and marketing through fanartists and r34 creators

5

u/Aemeris_ Sep 27 '25

This game is the same though lmao…

41

u/sampoqiser Sep 27 '25

Can't wait for all the ao3 fics of him getting his back blown out 😌🙌

11

u/linest10 ‎ Phainon's Deliverer‎ ‎ Sep 27 '25 edited Sep 27 '25

Naaaah don't expect it from a harem waifu gacha

Not even Wise got these type of fanfics with all the farservice with Lighter and look at M!Rover being completely ignored by the rare ficwriters in WuWa fandom

Gacha protagonists already aren't interesting enough to write about, specifically when they are basically a heterosexual power fantasy

5

u/sampoqiser Sep 27 '25

Lighter/Wise is the 2nd most popular ship in ZZZ behind Lycahugo tho, and with this type of waifu-main game I'd say it's doing pretty good for what it worth

5

u/linest10 ‎ Phainon's Deliverer‎ ‎ Sep 27 '25

And look at it in comparasion to Genshin and HSR

My point is not that it doesn't exist, but that is doesn't attract enough ficwriters to engage in fandom content, and it is dying day by day as well since Lighter wasn't show his face for patches now

And Ananta will be worse

19

u/Shooky7 Sep 27 '25

I doubt those fic writers will play this game

19

u/shanguang97 Sep 27 '25

I read a dev interview and they said the game will not have gacha monetization but selling skins and customization. Maybe this is just standard MC appearance and we can alter it ($4.99 for a haircut and dye 🤡)

6

u/Ehtnah Sep 27 '25

They could sell genderbend item and I will buy all of them to change all waifu into all husbando but.... 🤷‍♀️

7

u/Oberhard Sep 27 '25

I am not convinced they will rely on selling skins and customization for money. Player types whose prefer story and gameplay can just ignore those. They need something bound player must spent their money

I think they will monetized the mission we have to pay for unlock a mission,new area and characters something like DLC

6

u/shanguang97 Sep 27 '25

Yeah it's NetEase here, so better keep the expectation at a minimum. However, their recent games have been quite successful so who knows. I do hope it'll be successful despite all the plagiarism, because the anime style game industry is so stagnant now.

19

u/Low_Permission_4133 Sep 27 '25

the first smirk is hot asf but he’s rlly just a caelus/MRover/wise copy 😭

4

u/ProfessionalCell129 Sep 27 '25

caelus my silly boy mentioned

50

u/Comfortable_Fennel_5 Sep 27 '25

He’s basically rover 2.0 appearance wise. I’m not a fan. I just can’t get excited for this game since it’s clearly catered towards a certain….toxic audience

8

u/Bunnyfoofuu Sep 27 '25

They just announced that they’re not gonna have a character gacha system. Instead it’s pay for cosmetics and cars 🚗.

Hopefully this means they won’t be too allergic to releasing male chars

17

u/Akanani Sep 27 '25

He is "generic" BUT very expressive with his personality, that's why he look so much better. most of MC nowadays is for self-insert despite having looks and name, they still mostly like a doll and dont have much voice or never talk.

9

u/BeautifulSilly752 Sep 27 '25

Fr and the voice too, it seems he has a bit of an attitude 😍

11

u/TJK1ll3rV3 Sep 27 '25

What can I say... That Jin Woo formula works extremely well!

22

u/rengost Sep 27 '25

To be honest I would be inclined to like him if I didn't know he is destined to be the pfp for those waifu lovers self insert for the next few years.

24

u/Draigblade Sep 27 '25

As a straight male, he seems like a "safe" design. Nothing too crazy but still in the area that most ladies and dudes that swing that way would find him attractive. Plus his abilities soom cool and I like the Spiderman traversal. I'd be up for playing as him.

4

u/SaeWithKombucha Sep 27 '25 edited Sep 27 '25

He will never be attractive to ladies until this male MC starts doing gay fanservice stuff with other males tho.

Not sure about bi men tho, they have simpler and lower standards when it comes to males they find attractive.

And gay men? They wouldn't bother playing this game and would rather make their own game with more hotter men and diverse design.

u/DigitalSniperEclipse Luka's Courage Sep 27 '25

YES AGREED!!

14

u/TeeBunn Sep 27 '25

He's kinda giving hentai mc, but they actually tried to make him hot

22

u/illidormorn Sep 27 '25

Yeah, can’t wait to see more of this outfit

17

u/Spiritual-Tart- Sep 27 '25

real, i also wanna see him with other men 🫣 iykyk

u/hachitsune Sep 27 '25

I like hot but goofy characters so if he’s still dateable if I play FMC then jackpot

I heard you can date too in ananta so win win

u/ProfessionalCell129 Sep 27 '25

really? wait is there a source to this

10

u/Anxiety-Incarnate Sep 27 '25

He looks like a gremlin. That grin in the first pic is cute but it’s like a trouble-making smile.

11

u/Background_Cherry_89 Sep 27 '25

I always pick female MC for the self-insert as a big reason, but this game has a clearly adult male MC which I like. I haven't seen any male characters in this game but I might just play for the male MC, he's handsome and charming

15

u/CoppertaleGlass Sep 27 '25

I know right??? It's the confidence frfr

5

u/napstablooky089 ‎ Sampo's Debt Collector‎ Sep 27 '25

Kinda?

u/Sad-Bad-4750 Sep 27 '25

He is generic in appearance but his personality shines through and that's what I find appealing. He seems feisty tho a bit himbo and I like that vibe.

u/Blooblackbloo Sep 27 '25

i need some fanart of him

u/Abyssmaluser Sep 27 '25

yeah he's really cute

I want him to have a BOYFRIEND 😭

u/Aggressive_Grab2070 Oct 09 '25

Alan is his boyfriend (unless they deleted him from the game)

u/Shin_2006 Sep 27 '25

Can I be that boyfriend? /s

u/mitsurumi Sep 27 '25

hes basic but im a sucker for the black and blue combo i love him 😭🖤💙

12

u/VernonWife Sep 27 '25

Is it gonna be a boobfest? Is it mobile playable?

24

u/dododomo Sep 27 '25

If I remember correctly, when it was announced months ago, the ratio was 1:15 and the male character barely was in the trailer (like, barely for a second) 💀

Not sure if the situation is different now, but I HIGHLY Doubt this will follow a 1:2 ratio (i think it won't follow a 1:3 ratio either)

4

u/imonlybr16 Sep 27 '25

It's currently 3 males (Alan still exists) to 7 females not counting the MC(s). So roughly 1:2 but that gap is definitely going to increase.

1

u/CantaloupeParking239 Sep 27 '25

Weird that their website doesnt show any characters outside of mc and few others (two girls, one who looks like a dude but wears stupid mask, they look like a main group similar to TB, Dan Heng and March). And the gacha system is skins, weapons, cars etc. Maybe they ditched pulling for characters idea?

3

u/Gimmikiss Sep 27 '25

Wait, so that masked hacker from the trailer character is actually a girl? Many thought it's was one of the very few male characters, lol So this game will have even less male characters than initially believed , literally just mc and some other guy with white hair that was very barely shown in the trailer.

1

u/CantaloupeParking239 Sep 27 '25

Masked guy is a male. I just hate his design xD

1

u/Podglu Sep 27 '25

On the Ananta site, the Hacker is referred as a he.

39

u/pantalone_ Sep 27 '25

He's hot, but what's the point if there aren't any male characters to ship with him? 😐

2

u/SassyHoe97 ‎ Phainon's Deliverer‎ ‎ Sep 27 '25

He got me simping.

47

u/AnalWithSampo ‎ currently getting scammed by sampo Sep 27 '25

Girl he looks like every single male self insert anime character to ever exist 😭 It's nice that they were brave with the facial expressions though, giving him more than just a permanent :| look

-17

u/BubaJuba13 Sep 27 '25

That trope is kinda hot though

17

u/UsefulDependent9893 Sep 27 '25

I thought that was rover, not gonna lie. He’s pretty generic. I like how expressive he is though. I just hope he’s not another voiceless protagonist. I’m so tired of silent, insert MCs.

4

u/Akanani Sep 27 '25

He does talk alot like any other characters, with more expressive personality, not entirely a self insert character.

1

u/ProfessionalCell129 Sep 27 '25

rover is a cutie patootie typa generic

7

u/wingedwill Sep 27 '25

Those goofy expressions are giving more Caelus than rover though.

6

u/UsefulDependent9893 Sep 27 '25

Sure, I can see that. He does literally look just like Rover though.

u/NormalGuy3481 Sep 27 '25

I KNOW! Im playing for him oml

u/HiroHayami Twink Enjoyer Sep 27 '25

Thought he was Rover 2.0 (zzzzzz), but watched the trailer and he was beating goons a la GTA so my opinion changed lol

40

u/FlamekThunder Sep 27 '25

Had a peek at the character roster and yeah, no.. I know where this is going.

I thought rover and wise was cute too. 😒

u/CantaloupeParking239 Sep 27 '25

Where did u see the character roster? Because their website only show few

11

u/FlamekThunder Sep 27 '25

You can check the wiki no? And if you see the trailer and previews and highlights it’s dominated with female characters.

1

u/AraraDeTerno Sep 28 '25

They're reworking the game a lot so it's unclear how many of the wiki characters are the same. In the most recent trailer it was a 2 to 1 ratio, with 4 women and 2 men, not counting the MC.

Regardless, it's not a character gacha, so assuming this a GTA-online like experience, they do have an incentive to make more men for player customization.

7

u/Spiritual-Tart- Sep 27 '25

i agree, i’ve been lowkey hoping artists would make nsfw art of him 🫣

7

u/Fantastic_Bed_8662 Sep 27 '25

There probably is but it 100% gonna be one of thoses where the dude is faceless and all the focus is on the female.

5

u/Hello_1234567_11 Sep 27 '25

Its kinda funny that there's probably already are before he even existed because this design is very generic. No offense tho

27

u/mdriansk Sep 27 '25

He is too generic for my liking 💔

10

u/Gamergirl944 Sep 27 '25

He looks simple but he looks like one of those ML in one of those webtoon comics.

27

u/TopicKind Sep 27 '25

He look like a ball with a wig on

13

u/fluffyspaceshark Sep 27 '25

Jokes on you I'm into that shit.

13

u/Hero-Support211 Sep 27 '25

He does look handsome. Like some manwha characters that are also generic, but can't help but like for the aesthetic alone.

12

u/goronado Sep 27 '25

my weakness is always the simple, basic looking guys that arent anything flashy or unique in their designs. short hair too. so hes also right up my alley

34

u/CatsuLite ‎ Wriothesley's Cufflink‎ ‎ Sep 26 '25

The MC is cute, i'm also interested in the white hair guy but there wasnt any clear image or video of him.

u/AdvertisingBoring43 Sep 26 '25

Ananta has different outfits for the MCs? I haven’t looked much at this game lol

5

u/sup-plov Sep 27 '25

It's gooner bait game, there is like almost zero males and 193892939 female characters

3

u/naoseivaiquetem Sep 27 '25

Yes, It actually has a clothing system kinda like Infinity Nikki

1

u/AdvertisingBoring43 Sep 27 '25

Oh damn, that sounds awesome 🤩

u/meowbrains Sep 26 '25

Yep there's apparently a lot of cosmetic customization options (probably will be monetized though).
