Hey, I'm walkin' here

A just ruler amongst tyrants

Statistically, MC will stay virgin. Better avoid main cast at all.

I like stories with angst, tension, and drama; I don't read a lot of just straight slice of life, so if I had to be isekai'd, I'd want nothing to do with the main cast; I don't want to be swept up in all of that.

Honestly though, unless it's a world with a modern or utopian sci-fi setting, I'd much rather not isekai at all. I don't think I could live without air conditioning, internet, washing machines, microwaves, and the countless other conveniences I take for granted in my daily life. Plus, most of the rofan stories I read have pretty restrictive gender norms, and I'm extremely not interested in being sold off to the highest bidder to become a baby factory, even without the added problem of the lack of modern medicine meaning I have fantastic odds of dying in childbirth.

If I ended up in one of those places, I think I'd go run in front of carriage-kun to try rerolling in hopes of ending up in a better world this time around. Even if I have no guarantees of being isekai'd again, I'd rather stay dead than be trapped in that nightmare.

Well, I'm not sure what kind of character I'd want to be, but I think I might end up as a minor protagonist in a world where a larger story takes place elsewhere... so background character it is.

I'm a jack of all trades but master of none. Too many jars and not enough hands.

Dead and cremated.

No, really. Screw that isekai. See you at a more futuristic if not modern world.

The early bird may have caught the early worm, but the late worm survived!!

Side character I think. I can enjoy a fantasy world, see a little bit of the drama and mostly stay out of it myself. Sounds good! As long as I'm not a side character who's just there to get killed/thrown in jail.

...Hop!

I’ve read too many ‘MC thinks they can succeed at being an uninvolved/side character’ isekais to believe this would be that easy. But being a protag/side character of relevance might be asking to be dumped with annoying tyrants, so at least I’d get a better shot in a nice village.

So: background . . . but antagonist could be fun xDD

Mezametara Saikyou Soubi to Uchuusen Mochi Datta node, Ikkodate Mezashite Youhei to Shite Jiyuu ni Ikitai

Is that futuristic enough?

I'm a jack of all trades but master of none. Too many jars and not enough hands.

Background, for sure. Why waste time on the IMPORTANT PLOT with all the demon lords, god-skills, etc nonsense when you can just chill out somewhere in a faraway village, relax, and live a peaceful live?

I often like imagining myself in some story setting doing my own things so yeah, it's background character. I don't really want to be entangled in those bigshoot struggles and would rather enjoy the world in my own way as much as possible. And one of the most annoying Isekai troupe for me is harem, and I don't want one. If possible I just want to have a partner and either roaming around the land or settle down somewhere.

A zombie. A zombie virus has infected the previous world, and the people in an isekai tries to summon a hero from that world to defeat the demon army. But the hero is already a zombie and infects the people there and causes the zombie apocalypse in that world. And since the infection is not a curse or a spell caused by necromancy, their magic cannot be used to cure it, nor can be controlled. And since it's a heavily magic-focused world, they won't have much understanding of how this virus works until its too late.
