Which one is correct はらぺこにも見えない or はらぺこのようにも見えない？


> へとへとにも、はらぺこにも、のどがからからにも、びくびくしているようにも見えなかった。

I try to reduce the sentence using the same end structure and using はらぺこ only
which is a noun according to the dictionary. Which one is correct?




Both are fine.

Basically にみえる and ようにみえる correspond to _look/look like_ , but here it does
not make much difference.

  * 彼は外国人にみえる He looks a non-Japanese
  * 彼は外国人のようにみえる He looks like a non-Japanese.

* * *

はらぺこ is grammatically a noun or a na-adjective, but either can be used in this
pattern. See [this](https://jlptsensei.com/learn-japanese-
