It just occurred to me, what if one of us got reincarnated or transmigrated but without plot armour or cheats yet having the trash talent cliche just without the reversal of fortune from plot armour. Yet having read so many novels we adamantly thought that our cheat would appear one day, so we waited and waited and waited. Day by day, week by week, until we counted the decades passing by. But that day never came, and without talent we died a.simple.death no different from our previous life....... That would be so dark and cruel on so many levels. I'm sure whoever it is would curse having memories of all these mcs with plot armour or would've rather stayed in their previous world or would've committed suicide (not everyone can wait until they die of old age, I'd give up at 60 of it was me) or maybe I'd wallow in despair in a different way. Still though, this happening to me would be the most cruel torture I could ever imagine. Our burning hope for the future hyped up by our knowledge of so many stories similar to us but without the crucial element: Plot armour. Thus out dreams fade away as we still wait with our dying breath hoping it's all a joke or dream and our cheat or reversal of fortune would come.any day now....But it never does.
To prepare for such an eventuality and prevent any stray delusions of grandeur, one must regularly train one's mind into believing one is nothing more than a cannon fodder... repeat after me: I am a cannon fodder! I am a cannon fodder! I am...
Yea...that would be pretty messed up. I would probably cry for a couple hours then think bout committing suicide before wimping out of the decision. But I think for me it would also depend on what type of world I was reincarnated into. Who knows maybe its a world with magic, course it would suck to not get cheats but hey magic!
It would be pretty messed up, but there are some good sides to it if you think about it. Living your everyday life however you want, just in a different person’s body. It sounds interesting if you think about it. For instance, you could experience things you never have before and you can also meet new people to become friends with which might help your EQ. Plus, if you can actually get out of that world by dying and you are still alive in the original world (also the same age, same period, basically time stop), then you can use what you learned from the other world to help you in life. This topic will be an interesting thing to read in a transmigration novel.
Wouldn't you try to make the best out of the situation? Use some skill like baking bread to make a living? Maybe I'm just not ambitious?
well that really depend on what kind of world this cat trash ehem turn into~ the background and such~ there also when this cat remember such stuff~ imagine remember past live with all it knowledge just before banished cuz this cat is the villain on otome style... or before execution~ ba~ just die lol~ anyway, even typical isekai this cat have lil interest to become adventure or lord ya know~ cuz it such a pain despite it privilege~ this cat is dumb and too lazy~ there various factor that may raise problem for application of this cat knowledge on isekai stuff~ meh better take hoe and become farmer~ .... wild monster appear! me dead
But... would you want those cheats in the first place and have yourself embroiled in all those fights and faceslapping and stuff that the original protagonist had?
Why would this be cruel? o.0 Reincarnating as a normal person just means a second chance to live life. A second chance to make friends, to pursue your dreams, to find love... That sounds great! I have tons of dreams in my life, and I doubt I'll be able to make them all come true... I'd surely love to have a 2nd life to pursue the rest of those dreams. I wouldn't ever expect a cheat tbh. I'd be happy just being able to live longer~ *caveat: Some things about myself are things that I hate, and I would surely hate if I was reborn hating myself again. I'd definitely be troubled if the things I struggled a whole life to change and/or accept came back to me at full force after reincarnating... But that aside, I'm sure I'd love to reincarnate~*
Eh but then again at the first place why were you relying or so focused onto the thought of having a golden finger, cheat or plot armour lol and how naive can you be to think that everything will go as you expected, life isn't some fiction that's only revolving around the people mentioned in the story.
Lol, I won't even be able to understand their language if I reincarnated. If I transmigrated then I won't receive my predecessors memories.
I would cry, I would cry so hard. But then again It would also have to depend on if the world I'm in really sucks or not.
People that transmigrate and think they will automatically get a cheat are those that read lawyer's disclaimers in the most optimistic fashion possible. lol.
