Do you think me and my readers will hate me if I insult my main character?

I made a lot of backhanded insults to my co-author's character for fun when we wrote together, you'll be fine.

The more they feel over your story, the more you have control over their lives. Keep them engaged!

As long as you're not repetitive with it, you'll be fine.

All likable things have flaws. Let your character grow despite the insult.

That said, bullying is bad. Please don't do it towards real people.

I want to call my main character ugly, can I do it
Depends on what story you are writing and how you've developed your MC. If you have made your MC the "your average some person" that's meant to have the readers project their own images on to them and join in the story, then insulting the MC will probably upset a good amount of your viewers. I think.

Your story. You can paint your MC as shite. Hells, they can even be shite.
