Recommendations eeriely attractive mc

[ThrillingHuman]

recalling good novels I've read, I came across Demon Noble Girl on NU.
Man oh man was it a good story. Well, first few volumes at least.
I don't seem to recall too many stories where mc was not just attractive, but their attractiveness took on an eerie almost eldritch quality.
In the aforementioned story there were times where mc unconsciously brainwashed some (all) characters and it was described in a horror-like manner.
I wonder why it's so rare a trope.
Now give me recs for similar stories.

I wonder why it's so rare a trope.

I mean the "so beautiful people get brainwashed is like every other CN FMC". Also in a lot of Korean novels.
Often, it's just done in a more comedic or positive tone where people scream "please step on me" and will do everything.
It's the typical "now 3 guys hate the MC because they think he was rude against FMC without neither of them saying anything".
It's so common, even comedies joke about the "Now I travel with the most beautiful girl, so someone will come and try to take her away from me because he fell in love at first sight / misunderstood a single word he happened to hear / etc".

For your specific example... horror is just really rare in webnovels.

It didn't sell. Most webnovels have average/ugly MC because it's easier for the reader to insert themselves as the MC, cue wish-fulfillment.

More traditional horror, but there is always hell girl.
