Gonna sound weird but stick with me here. As someone who rarely reads self insert/oc fics, I love reading from the pov of a fat reader bc it comforts me to feel that kind of ‘love’ and desire. I used to be very insecure about my appearance and something
About still being wanted comforts me. (Also, fat women are just hot) and the insert usually end up gaining more confidence over the fic and it just makes me feel good man
