If you were reborn as your novel's mc what would you do?

[Succubiome]

Assuming it's in I Was A Hero In Another World But My Dog-Girl Slave Swapped Places With Me And Now I Can’t Disobey Her rather than one of my other novels, I'm probably kinda fucked.

Assuming it starts at the start of the novel, I would first spend a bit of time feeling immense guilt over having created this world. Then I'd confess making this world and not knowing why and how I came into the MC's body to Eve, and give her power over me-- there's no point in hiding this, really, given she's a mindreader, and very focused on the MC, so my chances of fooling her are very low, and without her as an ally, I can't really do much on my own-- maybe murder a few people, causing repercussions I can't entirely guess at, but that's it.

Assuming I survived that, I'd tell Eve about the plot as far as I know it-- not knowing the full plot when being reincarnated into a novel you wrote is one of the biggest downsides of being a discovery writer, in retrospect. Regardless... now it's her problem! I'd continue to try to act as her morality pet if she let me.

 

[Seaspecter]

Your story is slice of life?

It is and I just got put into an elder god's body lol.

 

[Stealthy_Enigma]

I would basically do exactly what my main character is doing right now. My character is basically me and how I would react... except the severe hemophobia.

I would definitely be having the time of my life!!!

[AliceShiki]

Let's see...

Not sure what would happen for the MC of the story I've written to completion... Her main issues are related to love and getting a stable life and income, so like... Well, I'd try working on the stable life part, but love...? I dunno? How would I feel about the girl she loves? It would be complicated and my actions would change a lot based on my own feelings.

The healthy solution would be to give up on the fairy that she loves and try finding somebody else, but feelings are not exactly that easy to handle, so... Dunno what I would do, really.

The story I'm writing but have yet to publish? Same as my MC. She's a child and she's brainwashed. She hardly has any choice on anything that happens to her.

If I was aware of the plot I could technically avoid the trigger that gets her brainwashed in the first place though, so I guess I would do that? Then just... Live a normal life from that point onwards. Probably.

 

[FrankieCheng]

Hmm...
MC 1 - ... My libido is nowhere near as high as hers. I'd be exhausted by now
MC 2 - I'd mostly enjoy this adventure... except what's coming over the horizon would traumatise me -_-
MC 3 - Yeah I'd probably be dead already. I don't have the skills that he has.
MC 4 - I probably would have gone crazy by now. I mean, she kind of has too.

 

[Fallen_Pages]

You have to think, what if you discover your current life is actually a novel, and you could do this and that to gain something... would you be able to do it?

Well, I believe that's close to what would happen if you got into a novel.

 

[AverageMaidLover]

Fall in love with all the maids

 

[Triskele_Lynx]

Go out in the woods, take my clothes off, put my fur on, and go for a walk. Maybe find a tasty rabbit or two.

>^..^<

 

[AnonUnlimited]

I would say:

"I've written enough of my novel to know where this is going..."

 

[Saberfang]

Probably would end up insane.

 

[Alfir]

Interesting question.
I shall address the 4th wall. "Hey, are you there? Are you reading this shit... Wait, you do? Dude, stop wasting your time here..." Then I shall gain omniscience for being such 4th wall breaker, cuz why not? Moreover, the thread says 'If you were reborn as your novel's mc what would you do?' meaning I wrote this novel, thus I must have known its plot.
What shall I do next?
Oh, I am going to run from the main plot. "Bye, bitches! The novel's original MC can deal with the problem by himself, so I am out of here!" After years of running, isolation, and hiding when the original epilogue finally concludes the story, I shall return to civilization to restart my profession as an author.

 

[Dia779]

Then screw for me for a whole like unstable pleasure chair till i beg like a crybaby to stop cuz most of my MCs are based on how I would act/react to most fantasy stuff......

..........even worse cuz most of my MCs are either normal with no powers/limited powers/very specific requirements n even then its still unwieldy af.

 

[CrimsonGenius]

Just resume normal, maybe decline the power and see who it goes to.

 

[John_Owl]

well, if i assume you mean my current running story, then... well, i feel bad. dude just spent year locked in a prison simply because he just so happened to be half dragon. he finally managed to escape and find his friends who were chillin' with some other folks (they're all teens, they didn't know where he was, and he was guarded by a hostile nation's military, so no rescue). what he doesn't know is that both of his parents have been captured and are likewise being tortured. or, more accurately his futa-mother/father-person was nearly hanged as a pirate, and his birth mother is being tortured via starvation and dehydration.

so yeah, i feel bad writing it. if i had to live it... i'd probably go insane.

on the other hand, if i got to choose... I'd pick my 2nd MC. dude marries a succubus. doesn't get much better than a sexy, mildly freaky demongirl waifu.

 

[Vainancholy]

I’d cry.

In the case that I’m reborn as them and have to grow up from birth I have a lot of hardship ahead of me. Orison, who’s backstory still hasn’t been stated, grew up in a family where he was neglected, and had to take care of himself. This is why he’s great at housework and such despite seeming like just some moronic douchebag mercenary. From there, when I turn ten I’d have to handle some pretty fucking bad situations I’m not sure I’d be able to get out of.

If I were to try to rewrite history, then I end up in a completely new situation I know nothing about, even as a writer. So honestly it’d probably be better to stick with the utterly miserable plot for the most part.

And unfortunately, knowing how Seventh Sky ends means I can’t be a pushover and lie around doing nothing either. I can’t try to live a quiet life since the world will move on without me, and in time will leave me behind if I don’t trudge along with it.

On the other hand, if I was just suddenly put into my main character’s shoes from in chapter one, I would just be screwed, completely screwed, dead in an instant, no contest. That’d imply some important things regarding my lore that would make it damn near impossible for my plot to move as intended, meaning the bad ending to the story would become the only ending, if I weren’t to die first.

So yeah, I’d cry, probably a lot.

 

[T.K._Paradox]

Cry.

 

[Dia779]

shiiit, my MC doesn't any powers at all besides slightly above average combat skills & pragmatism.

tho me, im gonna be even more cowardly than them lol so imma be more into escaping than fighting more often than my own characters...

 

[groudonvert]

In my case it's not possible. She's already a reincarnated character.

Edit : to be more precised : my MC is the reincarnation of someone closed to her, but she lost her memory of her previous life because her desire of vengeance would have had unimaginable consequences. I could be reincarnated as the MC in her previous life... but knowing the events in advance will prevent them to actually happen, causing unimaginable consequences.

 

[tiaf]

Crying.
I can only follow the plot.
Even knowing the plot won't help because my MC has not the power to change it to begin with.

 

[Alice_Marches_Forward]

I would follow the plot since me and my mc are basically the same people (except she’s prettier and calmer) (plus I don’t have the boldness to let my ex friends die, even if I hate them)
