Discussion Japanese Reincarnation Novels

Do you feel sometimes these reincarnation novels are too overbearing in the sense that they make the character a 4-6 years old kid doing amazing stuff like that should not be doing?

I feel one of the better reincarnation novels is Mushoku tensei where the MC actually grows up rather than remain as a 4-6 years old doing stuff. Most novels that are based on reincarnation do not talk about the growth of the character most of the time. Maybe something like school ark then goes adventuring. Most of the time they focus on how the MC is really over powered as a kid learning mana use having amazing powers fighting monsters etc etc. If anyone has any novels to suggest to me with a good reincarnation plot whether it be fanfic or real novels I'd like to read it. Something that shows clear growth of main character!

 

There's alot of bad reincarnation novels, but there a few good ones with good developments and buildup.

What I kind of dislike for vast majority of these novels though (chinese or jp) is that they don't ever touch upon background of their previous life. They don't have any actual connection with the story. I think of all the reincarnation novels I've read, only Against the God have where pre-reincarnation life situation plays a role in the story.

Mushoku Tensei is kinda boring though. There is just something about rudeus I can't stand, drop around vol 18.

 

kumo desu ga na is good since the main character starts at the literal bottom and makes her way up. there is also the confusion of time zones but that is all cleared up as you get to the 200s chapter. but generally they dont start off weak bsince most people right how much of an advantage will a normal man with a extraordinary imagination do in a magical world

 

^^ All hail Kumocchi; our one true spider goddess~
Of my favorate >Japanese< reincarnation stories is the above mentioned Kumo desu ga nani ka; as well as Tensei Shitara Slime... Both score highly on the Nyanko charts!

 

I've answer this before in reddit...

Reincarnation + truck kun is one of the best and simplest way to create an OP MC in only one chapter.. No need to explain further why the MC is OP..

 

Only Japanese reincarnation novel I know is kuro no maou

 

ever hear of world teacher? it is pretty good but the past doesnt play much of a role except in his cooking, fighting and stuff. we get a bit of his history though, and there are some tear-jerking moments recently.

 

Kuro no maou is more like transported to another world rather than reincarnation.

 

Oh yea
I forgot :x
Still a "good" Japanese novel

 

reincarnation story become overrated....
the copycat.. think that they can make their own story... like us imagining becoming the MC
yeah i agree about a baby do OP thing (im no exception, im also OP baby)
n the most we anticipated was at school arc... the MC showing off their OPness
n that remembering past life..... why not partially
n why always me eh no.. why always truck-sama n his cronies

ahhemm, enough with the rant
a good reincarnation novel... seirei gensouki maybe

 

If atg was Japanese then it would fit perfectly. The way reincarnation is handled is perfect. It just skips over the childhood years.The only Japanese novel i can think of would be Death March as he is not human and doesn't face the same problems.

 

You could have a look at the released chapters of Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou! There is some mild development while he is quite young (from a young child until early teens) so far. One of the main things I didn't really like about this is that there is a very slim chance of being born with magic power or whatever it is, so just existing pretty much already puts him above most people. Site says that there will be more releases but it's not very promising though.

 

If you want something that has connection to their life before death. you must definitely need to read .
Commushou no Ore ga, Koushou Skill ni Zenfurishite Tenseishita Kekka . It has a little bit of ecchi but its worth a read.

 

lately i read le festive de la vampire, although it jumbled over here and there, worst the previous translator grammar is not that good to read so i fell like the meaning os a bit missed. but because the story is interesting i continue to read it. the current translator tough doing good job at translating the novel

 

I don't mind reincarnation story's but a lot of the mcs don't fully use the advantage of the extra experiences and memories they are given

 

Hello! I have read about every LN and WN I could find but I've been scraping the bottom of the barrel lately. I can never find something with more than 50 chapters that I haven't already read but, from just randomly scrolling... I found "Kumo desu ga na" The synopsis looks pretty interesting, kinda reminds me of slime tensei or whatever its called. Think it's been dropped at 113? Anyway! Thanks dude =D

 

How about this one:

have you read it?

Not only ATG. Douluo Dalu too has plenty of background, and it greatly influences the MC life after reincarnation.

 

Dropped? No. The current translator isn't translating it as fast as the original one. Don't forget to read the side stories!
