A reincarnate who hates the afterlife because their previous life was so shitty that they want to not exist. And reincarnation is like a middle finger to them, because they're sure they'll just fail again.

A reincarnate who wants to find a way back to their original Earth, as they miss their family and actually had a stable life before.

I read something similar to that. I believe it was called the Death Mage doesn't want a fourth life. Basically the guy has a suckish first life and the second is even worse and he's forced with a third one where he finds some semblance of happiness. But the god who reincarnates him wants to kill him to move him onto a fourth life because he gained some power he shouldn't have.

Ouch! I remember that one, b/c the MC goes through hell in his second life.

Don't have an answer for 'most interesting thing I've seen someone reincarnated as' but I do have an answer for something I would like to see

I want a reincarnation time loop. The start of the loop? Birth. Each life you are born to different parents under different conditions and have a correspondingly different body. Same timeline though

I don't think it would be 'wow so genius' necessarily, but it is something I want to see tried by an author skilled in writing reincarnation fics and time travel fics.

Wouldn't that be like The Egg Theory?

I read something similar called The Sweet Life of a Reincarnation Pro. The MC has reincarnated as different people and uses his previous experiences to avoid doing any work in his new life as royalty.
There also Weird And Hard To Kill? Sorry, I'm The Real Immortal. In that one guy reincarnates in a world filled with ghosts and see a hot woman in his house when he responded she killed him because she was a ghost. He ends up dying 30 times before he could even exit the house and this drives him insane. His ultimate goal is to get strong enough to be able to kill the ghost he calls his wife. So you'll see him dying quite often.

Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou comes to mind.

The novel was good for young Russian, it was one of the first original LN's I've read online in English. Even if there were quite a lot of questionable moments, I still enjoyed it.

It has a betrayal plot at the beginning, weak to strong MC, harem (sadly) and high school kids fighting against God. Your baisic JP Light Novel.

Yeah I remember that one. It wasn't very popular as a light novel or manga, but I believe the anime is receiving quite a lot of popularity. It's also a harem story so if you like harem it's a very good one.

For what I haven't seen...

Well, I haven't seen a lot of people getting reincarnated into books. Sure, there are quite a lot of fanfics about some random dude getting their soul stuffed into Voldemort's Horcrux diary, but not original novels.

Other than that, I've seen a lot. Russians often write about time travelers, reincarnators and transmigrators, there is even a joke about it.
- As Otto Von Bismarck once said: "Give the Russians a time machine and they'll shit out their time travelers all the way to the Mesozoic era."

The anime and manga disappointed me, if I'm being honest. It's not that bad, it's just very mid.

There's quite a lot in the genre of getting trapped or transported into a book. They also do the same for games but most of those tend to be directed towards female audiences mainly focusing on love. The best story I know about being trapped in a book that the person has read was The Greatest Estate Developer.
Books and games have a lot of stories of being transported into them.
Most animes and mangas tend to be mid compared to the light novel cuz they just can't really capture the essence of the writing. However, they still are a good gateway for people who haven't read the light novel to enjoy the story overall.

I just looked it up and I'm surprised nothing came up. Maybe the ones that are currently available aren't famous yet. There's one tho where the guy turns into a sword. So there's magic, cat girls, and curry. Fcking isekais and their curries!

I've only come across one. A mage marries his familiar who had a hard life and wishes to make her happy. One his death bed he casts a spell and puts his soul inside a book to accompany her but the spell says she can never find out it's him or his soul will fade. I don't remember the name but it's a bittersweet love story.
And I thought reincarnating as a tree or an axe was wack. A book sounds good.
I know one for this too. The MC get reincarnated as a world tree and goddess of the elves and has to rebuild her decimated believers population. It's called Game of the World Tree.

Ah. I also read that one with the familiar, but it's more of a soul transfer right? Still technically reincarnation I guess. The Fox Seals in that one were cute tho.

We also have one with tree-tree. But I stopped reading it for a while coz the setting is so depressing. I'm also waiting for the one with the Demonic Tree to be finished so I can read it in one go, it was quite interesting when I left it.
