In the book the monster actually isn't as monstrous as it's commonly depicted, maybe just falling a bit into the uncanny valley.

Wut.

Forget being female, forget that she's pretty, she looks like a normal person.

How does she, in any way, shape, or form, qualify as a "monster"?

Nasusverse is the king of in name only.
Tomas Edison ,for example , has a lion head

He is made out of various corpses, but he's actually described as beautiful. Frankenstein's good with a needle I guess.

Weeeeell:
His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips.

So, yeah, it's not that he's ugly, he's grotesque.

Like I said, a bit uncanny, but not as monstrous as they're normally depicted. If all you've got is that they don't look as monstrous as you think they should, I'm a bit disappointed. I was hoping you had something about them misunderstanding the themes of the book or something.

There's also that Nasu's Frankenstein built the monster 'as an Eve' intending it to 'birth Adam'.

Nasuverse... I honestly like the more recent animes. But yeah it can butcher history hard sometimes. Though amusingly a big part of Vlad the Impaler's characterization in the same anime where Frankenstein's Monster appeared was how much he hated the fact that Vampires had corrupted his legend.

I believe that's only as a Servant that he has that lion head. That's how the Nasuverse gets away with so much with characters, none of them are the actual character (the Heroic Spirits) they're Servants, which are magic, limited bits of the original.

Now, there are cases where the original is all weird. Like Francis Drake, Frankenstein's Monster, and some others.

I'm afraid that's only the beginning...





Gotta get that sweet sweet summer banner moolah, baby.

To be fair, summer gacha is a standard of mobage... but then they make the non-insane Fran be kind of dumb and lazy, so zero step forward and two steps backwards.

Ah well, at least there's the fanfic Fragments of Chaldea where she finds love in spite of her speech impairment, together with someone who is flawed like her but loves her back still.

But this is getting kinda derail-y.

They forgot to mention that Robert Chambers was inspired by Ambrose Bierce.

EDIT: Also, I actually HAVE a copy of The King in Yellow (THE SHORT STORY COLLECTION NOT THE ACTUAL PLAY THANK CRHIST), but I never actually read it very well and so I missed important details,

Aww yeah, Stapledon!

They aren't kidding about Star-Maker, it's ridic.

Also, I'm gonna be honest, I always liked War With the Newts more than RUR.
