Hi, I’ve read stories where the MC is reincarnated from a contemporary world to a JP fantasy world, to a CH cultivation world, or from fantasy to a modern world. I’d like to read something where MC is reincarnated to the same world he lived in. It could be a fantasy world or normal world, but the main part is that I want him to meet and interact with people that he knew in his past life. His parents, old friends, girlfriend or wife etc.
I was going to recommend ‘I Was Just an Only Child Boy, Now I Became One of a Four Quadruplet Sisters’ but while the MC reincarnated in the same world and similar time to when he died, I haven’t read anything about interactions with his previous life in any manner.

Starting Over - The protagonist had lived a fulfilled life and gets sent to his 10 year old self on his twentieth birthday. He decides there is nothing much to change in his life, so he tries to emulate his previous life; the story starts there.
Volcanic Age Oops that's the wrong one. I meant The Scholar's Reincarnation (it's a manhwa) Bu ni Mi wo Sasagete Hyaku to Yonen. Elf de Yarinaosu Musha Shugyou
Edea Chronicle: Hero Summoning Conspiracy Spoiler: Sinopsis Enter Kazuya, a boy who never had any memories before his adolescent life. He was summoned to the world of Edea where in the final battle against the Demon King, our hero entered the last room to find a welcome he had not been expecting. An unguarded, unarmed demon king who greeted him with manners and etiquette. As if a respectful and well mannered final boss wasn't shocking enough, he was then introduced into an elaborate plot to exploit summoned heroes. Unfortunately, our naive hero chose to trust his companions. He underestimated human greed which led him to suffer alone in darkness for a time he himself does not know how long. When he suddenly woke up, saw himself as a child. As an amnesiac, he had been thrown into an unknown part of his life. He grit his teeth and decided to prepare himself and exact his revenge towards those who were involved in making him fall from a hero to a pawn. Follow along as Kazuya finds out about his past and tries to prevent the tragedies he's experienced while discovering what caused them to change the tragic life he led into one that he could accept. Author's reminder: the last two paragraphs of the synopsis is vital. If you're expecting the straight out Isekai from the get-go, you'll have to wait a little.
Not back in time, but later on, as a different person. The second chance tag is about going back to your old body, I think.
The Daily Diary of a Mushroom on RRL fits. MC dies fighting off bandits and reincarnates as a Mushman in the same world a notable while later. Evolves and evolves again, eventually becoming something that can speak the Human Language, and meets up with an old dwarf who lived in her hometown when she was Human. All this to inform you that it fits, while trying to avoid any major spoilers.
Reika-sama? forget the novel name though, kenjitsu something. she reincarnated to a manga world (modern life setting), though her old family counterpart was also there.
https://www.scribblehub.com/series/2135/i-didnt-even-want-to-live-but-god-forced-me-to-reincarnate/ She hasnt interacted much with them but she did meet her old family, but shes still only 6 years old so who knows in the future? She died and was reborn only a few years later i think.
The Founder of Diabolism-MC takes over someone elses body several years after he died and has to figure out who framed him and deal with all the people and situations and fall out from his past actions in real time...BUT its mildly BL so if you don't like that genre then don't bother.
These are BL: King of Classical Music - He died and woke up in the body of someone else on the other side of the world. He later met people from before he died. True Star - Same concept as above, but it's not prominent until later on meeting his past friends. These are not BL: The Wolf Lord's Lady - She reincarnated after being beheaded and became a maid at the ML place meeting people she knew from before. Later on, people noticed her for who she was. Prepare the tissues. The Splendid Daily Life of the Mother Devouring Princess - she died due to others machinations, died miserably too, banished, gang raped etc. She woke up as her enemy's daughter and started plotting her revenge against the people who had wronged her. Note the tags and genres.
What he means = reincarnated (different individual) not second chance Same world, same people, same era Try this, The Scholar's Reincarnation (adapted to Manhwa) Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes, All Thanks to a Single Moment of Impulse
