    Also, would you even remember the major and minor plot lines? Do you think you would even know the character you got transmigrated to? I really find it weird sometimes how transmigrated mc knows every little details of the book they've read. Well yah, I guess plot armor...

    Fantasy and Cultivation. Would be fun getting to use fictional powers, high chance of dying though.

    High risk, high return. At the very least it seems to be the most exciting genres

    Fantasy, and I probably won't even remember a single bit of information from the book...
    Considering that I have pretty bad memory I will forget about all of the most important plots and won't know what part of the book I'm even in and what character I am.

    I would probably remember the plotlines, unless its one of those 200+ chapter webnovels, abut whether I realize it or not depends at on where and when I am located compared to the plot.

    If I meet some of the main characters and/or see some of known events, I think I should be able to realize XD

    If I transmigrated into a book, I'd probably just think that I was insane.
    But one of those depicting theoretical utopias would be maybe nice

    I do not understand how you all choose fantasy, you understand that it means 99% that there are no cell phones, chips or air conditioner, right? Science fiction is much better, imagine how comfortable humans will get.

    We are all in a book called the akashic records. Every thing that ever was, will be, and anything else possible or impossible is there. The only difference is if I have special knowledge of the future concerning very specific people considered to be main characters in a certain perspective.

    Fantasy
    I recently read The Alchemist of Harry Potter, if I got transmigrated into Harry Potter. I definitely remember the plots lol
    But honestly I'm so curious to see whether all the MLs will like FL in reverse harem novel (granted that no one other than me transmigrate over)
    Or a yaoi novel is good too
    I wanna be in the sidelines watching them lovey dovey UWU

    I would remember the plot, main characters and important side-charas and their relationships with each other, and the eye-catching world-building elements.
    I want to tramsigrate into a gourmet novel too! I wanted to transmigrate into Japan! Some years ago. Or Shougeki no Sõma.
    But science-fi is cool. I want to experience high-end technology and travel through space! Otherwise, into a relaxing SOL.

    Cultivation...cause now I know their plot like a textbook...


    If I get up in a bedroom with no one else and it's quite luxurious then I'm a young lord who has a tricky status in a middle or low class clan...

    And some asshole poisoned me.


    If normal methods find no cultivation talent in me then that means there's a godly body cultivation technique somewhere I need to find. Or some treasure that is on me or in me that I need to check on.


    If I'm engaged then blah! I need to run like there's no tomorrow and cancel it before she does it to save all the complexities.


    Hmm just that I'm quite familiar and pretty much anything I do I will get everything so it's a perfect choice for a lazy prick like me muhahaha

    magic can replace those

    you don't read much sci-fi do you? I don't want to end up in a post-apocalyptic world, have earth invaded by aliens , fight terminator-like robots, or worse.

    assuming if i have read the book that i have isekai'ed into, i'd probably need some reference before i connect the dots..
    i would probably remember the overall plot of the story and some random funny or heartfelt moment in the story. but i probably couldn't remember the description of their face.. so blindly looking for the main cast of the isekai world while trying to profit from the plot that i remember

    Depends on how familiar i am with the book. I'd probably be able to guess the moment i meet the main character along with side characters.

    1. I would for major plot lines. At least most of them. Probably...
    2. No, I would not. Would I realise that I transmigrated? If I have my memories then 100 percent. Would I realize where I transmigrated? Not a chance in the world. Unless I am thrust right into the thick of it I would not know anything at all.
    3. Book mcs are special people. Maybe they are not people at all...
    4. a) Cultivation? Yes, but I would probably die or be some kind of victim of horrific abuse.
    b) Fantasy? Yes, but I would probably be that crazy person who died from doing too many dangerous experiments. Or I would again be some victim of horrific abuse who will turn into a lich and be one of the minor villains of some unimportant arc!
    c) Rom-com? Yes, I chose rom-com. Omg, I don't even know. But don't you wanna experience that sweetness too sometimes?! Though I can't really imagine who I would be in a rom-com. Would I remember the plot lines? Definitely not. But I guess it would maybe probably be a little bit fun if I transmigrated there. Not as fun as the above two where I horifically die of torture of course...
    d) I don't want to get disilussioned with the world by transmigrating into some kind of sci-fi where lives are numbers and entire planets are mind controlled through the use of some sci-fi devices.
    e) Tragedy? I would probably be the one to cause the tragedy and live with the guilt of it for the rest of my life... or turn into a trigger happy murderous sociopathic disgusting freak.
    f) Drama? Lessgo! Down the bridge and into the river we go! Drown the sorrows literally! Though I would not even realize I am in a novel if I transmigrated into drama probably...
    g) Slice of life? The same as rom-com.
    h) Food novel? I will be working in some old run-down building cutting onions for 50 years...
