Recommendations Hero/Heroine who reincarnated/time traveled but actually kept their personality the same.

Far too many novels have reincarnated characters that make absolutely zero sense. They may start out as goody two shoes in their original life but suddenly become badasses that murder for the slightest grievance or even total badass is that change into complete idiots.

I want a novel where they actually keep their personality from their previous life or even better a novel where they travel back in time to end earlier point in their own life.

Bringing the Farm is a good example because the socially awkward but morally upright otaku reincarnate into a socially awkward but morally upright person.
Warlock of the Magus World is also good because he is completely apathetic to life and relationships which was part of his personality originally as a scientist.
Descent of the Phoenix is one of my personal favorites too. She is a bad ass assassin that is reincarnated but remains a complete badass assassin.
Tales of Demons & Gods is a novel example of a time travel back to a prior point in the hero's life.

Desolate Era and Demon King Chase His Wife are both examples of what I do not like. After the first chapter or two does it even matter anymore that they are a reincarnated person. Reincarnation is completely forgotten after the first few chapters which is really really stupid. Why even put it there in the first place?

 

Princess Wei Yang : She is always same never gets tempted by devilishly D roaming around her. She only wants revenge.
You should try reading Female MC stories as they can't use brawn they always use brain to fight mostly based on their past lives.
Chu Yang : TTNH
Japanese Heroes who are called from other world and betrayed after their job. when these are given a second chance they only want revenge no change.

http://www.novelupdates.com/series/mushoku-tensei/ - lame in his first life, kind of a coward throughout the whole series... what you want, but with opposite traits?

 

Maybe you'd like Mother of Learning.

 

Law of the Devil suit's your taste i think?

 

Tsuyokute New Saga

I second Mother of Learning.
It's an original novel on fictionpress and the MC goes back in time over and over again repeating the same month.
his personality grows and shapes when the story progresses but you can still easily tell he is the same person from the start

 

Dungeon Hunter
Awakening
A Step into the Past

 

Whispers of the Nightingale, badass assassin in her past-life, slightly mellower cultivator/assassin in her new life

 

World Teacher (Still assassin and teacher even in the reincarnation life)

 

(Um, Sorry) I reincarnated!

Stays a dense idiot

 

Release the witch, is a nice transfer novel where the MC uses his previous knowledge regularly

 

Queen no. 11

 

lol while I was reading the OP I thought I will like this topic and will watch the thread but yea... I thought he's looking for a goody to shoes MC but nope.

 

Emperors Domination - best of the best for me.
http://www.novelupdates.com/series/emperors-domination/
Main character is not actually reincarnated - just regained his original body, but he behave in the exactly same way he should, if we take his age and experiences into consideration, not like all those quadrillion years old reincarnators, who suddenly become no different from little boys\girls.

 

The Amber Sword
The MC remains logical and cool-headed up to the latest raw.
