    We all know, the firts thing the mc says when opening his eyes after a reicarnation in another world is "an unknown ceiling", or something.

    Can you share the original phrasis (japanese and romaji, with english translation) of this and other tropes?

    *Yawn* (or Huaaam)
    I woke up.

    I don't have the original phrases but it's common in human to monster isekai novel.

    How about the ones where the main character reincarnates as a baby and goes "Who are these people?" towards their parents?

    Oh and also when they go "It seems I've reverted back to my teens" or something, that happens pretty often!

    “A different breast” never seen this one but knowing Japan, there’s got to be at least 1 transmigration manga or novel that has this phrase.

    I legit had a real life unknown ceiling moment, I often wake up confused and have a few moments of amnesia when I wake up, like I wouldn’t know where I am, who I am, or what day it is, why my phone is ringing etctetc. Just waking up super confused.

    Well when I went to Hong Kong during the summer (I do this every year) I had to sleep on a mattress on the floor cause there weren’t enough beds and when I woke up the next and saw the ceiling I couldn’t recognise it and couldn’t remember where I was, I seriously had a panic attack before I remembered everything.

    Honestly, If you wake up in an unknown house and ceiling you wouldn’t be so calm, you’ll be scared af.

    The only chances of me using "This ceiling is unfamiliar" is by having a hangover.
