Tensei Isekai Mad Libs


You may notice that many isekai plots are rather formulaic, especially the "tensei isekai" variant that involves protagonists being reincarnated in another world. I decided to let you try your hand at making your own.

Here are the questions to fill out. You can make the answers relatively ordinary, or make them as silly as possible. Like most Mad Libs, it's most fun when you're reading them to one or more other people (who don't know how their answers will be used), who offer their own answers.
  1. Give your character a name, preferably a Japanese one, and decide the character's gender- male, female or nonbinary. The character will henceforth be referred to as "Protagonist," or the pronoun "they" and its variants, which can be altered as appropriate. I know Mad Libs generally don't explain where each answer comes in, but this is a special case.
  2. A number.
  3. A job; "student" or "unemployed" counts.
  4. A cause of death, the weirder the better.
  5. A god or other higher power.
  6. A piece of modern technology.
  7. Give another name to your protagonist, who will hereafter be called Hero. You can also choose another gender if you want, and it can be different from their first life, but the protagonist will still be called "they"(again, replaced with whatever pronoun you chose).
  8. A social caste from a medieval fantasy world- peasant, merchant, knight, noble, royalty, etc.
  9. An occupation.
  10. A name for a world.
  11. The title of a work of fiction.
  12. A fictional medium- a book, a video game, a visual novel, etc.
  13. A role in the story- protagonist, antagonist, love interest, sidekick, comic relief, etc.
  14. An action that one undertakes while on a quest- bring back, kill, destroy, rescue, etc.
  15. An objective of said quest- a treasure, a princess, a dragon, etc.
  16. The goal that a quest hopes to result in- e.g. ending a war, saving the word, etc.
  17. A famous work of fiction
  18. Another number, which can be different from the first but doesn't have to be.
  19. One last number.
After submitting all your answers, plug them into the respective slots, and enjoy the result!

(Protagonist), a (Number 1)-year old (Job), suddenly died one day from (Cause of Death). (Higher Power) took pity on (Protagonist), offering them a chance to begin a new life in another world with (Modern Technology) as an extra bonus to compensate for their untimely demise.

(Protagonist) was reborn as Hero, the child of (social caste) (occupation)s, in the world of (World). As it so happens, World is the setting of (title), a popular (medium) that (Protagonist) played in their previous life, and (Hero) is the story's (role).

As it so happened, (Hero) also inherited a mission. (Hero) must (action) (objective) in order to (Goal), a ripoff of (Fantasy Work Of Fiction). This will likely be a very long journey, lasting (Number 2) volumes and being adapted into a (Number 3)-season anime, assuming the readers don't get tired first.

Fire Emblem Engage: Fell Xenologue Review Part 3

This blog entry contains spoilers for Fire Emblem Engage's Fell Xenologue DLC  Welcome back to the review of the Fell Xenologue DLC. As a brief recap of last time, Alear was summoned to an alternate Elyos and set out to gather the bracelets and safeguard them from an unknown malefactor. Alear's first destination was Firene, where they reclaimed Hector's bracelet from Alfred and Celine. Alear then sets out for Brodia. The group heads to Brodia by foot, sneaking in due to the country's hatred of war resulting in tight border security. The logic seems rather odd, as a warlike country would be no less willing to defend its borders. Nel remarks that they're already in Brodia, and when Alear complains, she snarkily replies that she hopes they can reschedule the parade. Gregory, who's the counterpart of Griss, arrives. Zelestia reveals that she and Gregory are part of a small band of knights known as the Four Winds, which are counterparts to the Four Hounds, and exist

Shinrai's Kotoba: When the Worst Character is Still Necessary to the Narrative

Shinrai: Broken Beyond Despair Spoilers Most of us can think of a few characters we dislike for various reasons, and often, we believe the stories they're in would be better off without them. But sometimes, it's difficult to remove characters the audience dislikes without adversely affecting the narrative. Kotoba Gaikoku from Shinrai: Broken Beyond Despair is one example, as while he seems like an unfunny perverted comic relief character(and to some degree, he is), he plays a crucial role in the story. Who Kotoba Is First, let's explain who Kotoba is and why he's so unlikable. Kotoba is the best friend of Taiko Kikai. He's a notorious pervert who has a thing for both guys and girls, but has especially strong feelings for Momoko Mori, and dislikes her boyfriend Hiro Shiratake for reasons that are not entirely related to romantic jealousy. The first problem is evident- the fact that he's a pervert. It's difficult to write perverts well, since perversion tends

Game of Thrones Season 8 Review Part 8: Conclusion

Warning: This series contains spoilers for the final season of Game of Thrones Now for the conclusion to this series. The General Problems Part of the reason for the decline of Game of Thrones' qualities are the reasons I stated before. The showrunners no longer had Martin's books to guide them, resulting in their writing's shortcomings coming to the fore. The fact that the final two seasons have thirteen episodes between them is a significant factor in why the show ended as poorly as it did. While Daenerys' fall into evil was always destined to be controversial, having more episodes to cover her development might have made it easier to accept. Additionally, giving more episodes to the war with the Night King would have helped him seem like more of a credible threat than he ended up being. Of course, ending a show like this well was always a difficult prospect for a few reasons. First, the ending would inevitably have been the showrunners' creation, and would thus b
