    Something more specific. Like your background, profession, age, looks. Do you want to be an MC? A mob character? The noble's pet wolf-dog? A pebble on the road? What kind of world you will transmigrate to? Is it a novel with a dog-blood plot? A fantasy medieval setting? Sci-fi mech or space traveling style? Slice of life kind of world? Post-apocalyptic setting? Smut?

    Anything or everything you could detail would be nice! (Unless you're lazy like me, even minimal answers are fine)

    I think I have a preference for crafting and support class. So probably a well known enchanter, rune engraver or healer in a fantasy medieval setting. Well-known so I at least won't die penniless. Probably. I thought of going the noble route, but after reading novels about them for a long time, I cannot convince myself that going the noble route would be peaceful....

    I wanna try a modern age type of sci-fi. Something like Superstars of tomorrow. I wanna work in Space Travel R&D. Creating portals or improving current space ships.

    Hmm.... I'm interested in a post apocalyptic setting too. I'm really curious about the hardships in such a place. The desperation and hopelessness that would push people to do inhumane things to survive. Though, I'd want to be a character well-versed in handling weapons and survival. Definitely don't wanna be that person who dies in the first wave of the destruction.

    I want to be a god of beasts and have my own immortal territory of my cute beasts I’ll have all the beasts in heaven and earth living in peace there with me as their god and I’d be able to take the souls of the dead and have them reincarnate as beasts into my territory so I’d take all the souls of innocent children that died and have them reborn in my territory as beasts and live happily and I’d have cool godly powers and the ability to turn into every single beast in heaven and earth

    That would be cool! But please don't turn the souls into beast without their consent xD

    As long as there’s no apocalypse or other world ending danger, I’m probably good… as long as I’m not dirt poor… unless it’s the type of world ending danger that sorts itself out easily… I definitely want to be a magic user! o(^▽^)o It’d also be nice if, rather than Truck-kun, I got sent off by Terry Pratchett’s Death. I think he’d be more comforting.

    I’d ask in a kind and seductive voice and when they accept I’d come out as a beauty and make them flustered and all shy like then laugh like a wish old sage and say something about the cuteness of youth

    So you won't remember anything from your previous world since you died with alzheimer's?

    I probably would be mob C1R4 who would chill with the Mc or watch from the sidelines with some popcorn and soda.
    But for real, I would love to be a slime and just chill in a puddle.

    I am not a fan of the whole transmigration idea, I mean I like the concept of environment change, experiencing a new world and being able to do stuff that normally I can't but I like being me, I like the concept of living then dying then getting judged about what I did, the transmigration concept kind of break the purpose of why a person live making it kind of meaningless (heaven and hell no longer hold any meaning in this way, lots of transmigration novel kind of lose their purpose talking about heaven and hell while the person just keeps traveling from one body to another once dead), instead, rather than dying and my soul going to somewhere/someone else, how about just being summoned or somehow traveling (like mind transfer or finding some path to another world or maybe some object that switch souls or transfer them if necessary, just no death then going somewhere else, like I am sort of disposable item, and don't even let me start about about those MC who go back in time to make a revenge, I mean the people in the past don't even know what they did/will do, you don't even know if the time will repeat itself, if it is about time travel I prefer if the MC gain the necessaary strength and come back in the same timeline to exact their revenge, no need to die then go back in time or whatever)
    If it is necessary for the soul to go somewhere then it got to be through some other way than dying and then finding myself born anew or preferable not possessing anyone or anything.
    I want a system, using it I can become more and more powerful, gain abilities, travel through worlds and such

    Among these 7, which one you prefer? (I like the cryo/ice slime)
    ... Or do you want to be a normal slime? That's fine, too.

    If you’re being serious, I’m referencing the character Death, who shows up in most Discworld books. If you’re joking, well, good joke? I don’t think it’s likely I’ll die of Alzheimer’s, though. :blobsweat_2:

    It is up to the author, for example, what about hamsuke from Overlord, maybe she will become something like that

    Hey, sound’s like a good deal. (Not the disease, but being picked up to go to the afterlife by Pratchett. On second thought, the disease would probably mean that I lived to older age. Good deal!)

    I'd like to think I'd notice if someone close to me started acting off, but then again sometimes people just get in a mood, and I could easily attribute it to that. Of course if they suddenly gain a bunch of mystical knowledge, and teach me these really powerful cultivation technique, I like to think I'd figure something out.

    You know that would be a good setting for a original novel, some dudes girlfriend hits her head and suddenly starts cultivating, and doing impossible things, she is trying to be secretive about it, but it is really obvious because the story is set on earth, and cultivation doesn't exist.
