If you could step into the world of any LN, which would it be and why?

    That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

    The jura tempest federation seems like a pretty cool place, and I know just enough about our worlds technology that I might be able to help kick off a small revolution in precision machinery there

      I thought about Tempest but ultimately decided that it’s too war-torn for my taste and the amenities are mostly just reproductions of what we have here on shitty earth. It’s like dying and just getting the same shit just left behind even if specialized knowledge could put you on a higher caste compared to here.

    I thought the entire day about this and I don’t really can think of any isekai world I would reincarnate into when I don’t have control over where I end up and with what talent/skills/race/etc.

    In the end I think I chose Konosuba’s world and you the Axis cult just to be on the save side. I always thought I would make a good cult member. And if I get lucky and get reborn into the crimson demon clan, I would make an even better chuuni.

    Here are the top ones based on the LNs I have read.

    1 - Making Magic

    Pros:

    1. Before and After Chise is reincarnated the world is mostly at peace. There are monsters and criminal gangs but they are not as common as in other worlds.
    2. When Chise is reincarnated she is given creation magic as a gift from the gods and is able to gain skills.
    3. Commoners seem to be treated fairly ok and are not abused.
    4. It seems to be fairly easy to generate money so living should not be too hard.

    Cons:

    1. I can’t think of any major Cons

    2 - In the land of Leadale

    Pros:

    1. Before and After Cayna the is reincarnated the world is mostly at peace. There are monsters and criminal gangs but they are not as common as in other worlds.
    2. There are other players who may be able to relate / help
    3. Commoners seem to be treated fairly ok and are not abused.
    4. It seems to be fairly easy to generate money so living should not be too hard.

    Cons:

    1. If you didn’t have skills in the game you don’t have them after reincarnating
    2. You are unable to gain any new skills
    3. Opusketten-Shultheimer exists in the world

    3 - Log Horizon (Based on Anime, I haven’t read the LN)

    Pros:

    1. You are not alone - There are lots of other people with you
    2. It looks like you can still level up but things have changed compared to the game
    3. The world is changing - It is evolving with the flavour text becoming real and people becoming the Avatar, this opens the possibility for positive paths
    4. There are a lot of smart people working on solutions
    5. You respawn if you die

    Cons:

    1. You respawn if you die - There is no escape
    2. You lose memories if you die
    3. There are Factions, hostages, unknown variables

      Making magic was one that I thought about as well. I would like to live on the flying island as a dragonkin or angelkin (forgot their correct name) but I would be pissed if I reincarnate as a peasant in some random kingdom.

        Statistically speaking a peasant in a random kingdom is the most likely option. So I am aiming for a world where peasants aren’t abused, or at least not abused as much.

      What about the riskiest worlds?

      1 - So I’m a Spider so What?

      1. The protagonists were reincarnated as the being that most suited their soul. There is a real possibility I could be reincarnated as a slug or worm
      2. The world is ruthless. The MC was reincarnated as a spider in a dungeon about to get eaten by their mother

      2 - Ascendance of a Bookworm

      1. If you are born with the devouring and not a Nobel there is a high chance you will die.
      2. If you are not a Nobel and upset one you could be killed.

      3 - Death March to another world rhapsody

      1. There are lots of stong monsters
      2. Demons seem to pop up regularly

        So I’m a Spider so What?

        Chances are you’d get eaten by your spider mom seconds after hatching.
