He looked ugly because his face was being kind of censored after some time the censoring is lifted
Lowkey the reason for him being called ugly is spoiler territory and I better not see fellow LN readers spoiling this for this person =_=
Believe me I haven't read the novel so I can't actually spoil, it's just that in webtoons everyone (main characters) looks handsome and pretty so I wanted to know how he "actually looks"
Nah the reason Why they think kim dokja is ugly is the fact that in that world he's just an average so many characters are much handsome than him Soo Let's blame jonghyuk for example...like in the "spoiler alert" They called him The "Ugliest KING" LMAO I'M WHEEZING
And damn he's so hot FOR WHAT-?
I heard in the novel he's described as ugly, tho I am not sure how exactly is he supposed to look like-
