    A reincarnation/transmigration as cannon fodder/villain where the original main character isn’t a piece of s*** or at least a likable character.

    edit: does not have to be novel/game world

    Uh, I don't understand... do you mean no gender swap? or you just prefer female protag over male protag?
    Also, I'm assuming you're talking about "villainess transmigration" stories? What traits do you hate in
    MCs of that genre? Otherwise, it's hard for us to gauge what's likeable to you.

    Not sure what you're asking for. I think I get that you want a likable MC. It's the other parts I need clarification on. Do you want them to reincarnate into a villian or disposable character? Or do you want the villians to be disposable? Or something completely different?

    I think I get you. Where someone transmigrates into someone, then doesn't have to spend all this time apologizing for previously being a jerk, right?

    OG MC as in the original host (pre-transmigration/reincarnation) is what I think they're getting at
    at least half of these here are cannon fodders that died before the og story happened lol
    • Bon Appétit - the FL's abandoned/ignored half-sister
    • Harmless Obsession for the Captivating Male Lead - the villain's sister who is killed by the ML in the og storyline
    • I Became The Stepmother Of An Irrevocable Dark Family - the villainess' stepmother who dies and doesn't even appear in the main story lol
    • Guide to Raising a Supporting Male Lead - same orphanage kid, originally there was no MC's role
    • I Became the Wife of the Monstrous Crown Prince - cowardly fiancee of the villain (I think? or protag idk been a while) who died
    • Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life - villain's wife... pretty sure she wasn't a malicious/POS character
    if you read BL then maybe these too?
    • Dare ga Otome Geemu Dato Itta! (BL) - sickly brother of a capture target that died for capture target's backstory in the game lol
    • Transmigrating into a Mob Character to Rehabilitate the Villain Plan (BL) - protagonist & villain's childhood friend/the glue that keeps them together

    I think they mean if the main character transmigrated as a villainess or a cannon fodder they don’t want the protagonist of the story they transmigrated in to be the ML

    I can't understand what you mean... But I think this is what you are looking for;
    1. Death Is The Only Ending For The Villain
    2. The Princess Wei Yang
    3. The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife

    First, I will apologize for being unclear and forgetting about this tread...:blobtired:

    Second,
    That is exactly what I wantedblobmelt_thumbs

    Thirdly, examples:
    What I want: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/tearmoon-empire-story/

    What I do not want: https://www.novelupdates.com/series...the-heroine-to-bully-her-or-the-cat-will-pay/

    https://www.novelupdates.com/series/rebirth-of-the-evil-mother-in-law/

    Fourthly, what I meant by
    is that if the original protagonist is a guy I don’t want the original protagonist to be our main character’s love intrest however if the original protagonist is a girl, I am fine with it. I’m fine with BL, GL, and BG

    Please tell me if I missed anything!

    For me the ML is the male love interest and the FL is the female Love interest or in some cases the villain but not in this one.

    ahh, welp that chops my list down :blobrofl:
    to this one shdjdj

    hmm maybe you can also try
    • Male Lead 2 and Male Lead 3 Happy Ending! (BL) - love interest is as per title: the 3rd male lead, the og FL is actually pretty nice and reasonable, og ML is kinda trash but doesn't really appear much
    • Sign-In Buddha's Palm - i forget if it's a novel world but it's pretty interesting! no romance so yeah

    Okay. The Novel's Extra. Main MC is good. And most of the side characters.

    Then Breakers...since multiple characters in that story were the lead in the game; even though the new MC is fighting against the main evil one as a character that dies in all the original routes.
