Am I the only person who did not see the appeal of "My Dress-up Darling"? I mainly say this because one of the foreign language titles turned me off (title was "Sexy Cosplay Doll").

I haven’t watched/read it yet, but according to the many reviews I’ve seen about it, the foreign titles as you said and constant fan service seem to be the only issues, and these are the only reasons why I probably won’t be giving it a watch
Watched it, it was nice but not something I'd rewatch and didn't leave an impact on me. A nice thing I can say about it is that it's an extremely rare anime where the relationship between the protagonists feels completely believable.
Marin falls in love with Gojo later, after they've spent ample time together. They have common interests. Gojo respects her and wants to do such a good job on her costume he studiously plays the H-game that Marin's cosplay comes from, and ends up really liking the story and being able to talk to her about it! Marin genuinely respects him for his unconventional passion, crafting traditional Japanese dolls.
These are believable people with a believable, mutual romance (not better than Toradora, though). By contrast most characters FOTM romance anime (to me at least) have like, 0 chemistry and the romance feels fake and arbitrary. Like author wish fulfillment, "hot girl repeatedly throws herself at awkward loser boy for no discernible reason".

modern romance anime targeted towards young males irks me overall to be honest
One of the most awful romance anime ive ever had the displeasure of witnessing
