It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about my problem with series focused on reincarnation. It's a common plot device. The protagonist dies and then comes back as a super overpowered child. It can make for a really interesting story, and it's a popular genre of anime and manga. So what's wrong with it? Well, the adult is now a child. This can create a lot of problems. Firstly, it means romance is entirely out of the window. They can't like adults because they're a child, and they can't like children because they're an adult. It makes a weird paradox where anyone involved is in the wrong. Along with this, they hardly ever tell anyone they are an adult. They keep all of their skills and memories, but everyone thinks they're just a really talented kid. However, it can be done successfully. For example, I really like That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime. It has a good story with a reincarnated protagonist. But he didn't come back as a child, and he doesn't act like a child either. He's just living his best life, and it's a really good story. It doesn't create any awkward questions, and it allows the adult to continue being an adult instead of cosplaying as a tiny prodigy. I'm sure there are a lot of good examples of this type of story, but I think turning the adults into children creates a lot of confusion and uncomfortable questions. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
