What makes your lead unique?

[Bagman013]

What is their pitch to the reader? What odd quirks smdo they have? Any unique characteristics with their appearance or demeanor?

My lead has a bag on his head.

 

[Deleted member 1244]

He has an overly dramatic internal monologue. But very mellow external demeanor.

That is why "anti-routine" CNs are popular and successful.
Bc they got a MC like kazuma.

What the hell is an anti-routine?

 

[Tsuru]

What the hell is an anti-routine?

Routine (east slang) or "cliche event" (west)
examples :
1= enter restaurant, a young master see the beautiful heroine and arrogantly confront MC
2= movie bomb, the bomb will be stopped at 1s close to explosion
3= movie bomb, oh wow, another nth event of cutting the correct line to stop the bomb
4= superman, oh wow AGAIN kryptonite
5= the FLASH, oh wow AGAIN the last enemy of season is A SPEEDSTER (bc its the SOLE THING that can pose danger to FLASH)
6= a valley with 2 mountains on the sides ? oh wow it was an ambush
7= in zombie movie the talkative guy dying
8= save a woman in zombies ? only to get her sabotaging the situation later
9= a guy in zombie movie was bitten ? oh wow AGAIN x99999, i bet the dude will hide the wound and cause a big problem later
10= a calm situation in horror ? oh wow i bet there is jumpscare

Meanwhile ANTI-ROUTINE, its know this "routines" and not following them
1= enter restaurant, MC make him and heroine ugly to not attract troubles
2= movie bomb ? fuck the cliche, i take 30s to stop it
3= movie bomb ? cut lines ? fk it i will throw the bomb somewhere empty
4= superman MC : i will simply wear anti-kryptonite armor or ask a NONKRYPTIONIAN SUPERHERO TO DO IT FOR ME
5= FLASH? oh surprised, the last enemy isnt a speedster or PREVENT THE SPEEDSTER before he appears. OR DOESNT CHITCHAT TO HIS ENEMIES EVERYTIME. ALL OF THEM.
AND SIMPLY PUNCH THEM, END EPISODE IN 5min !
6= valley of 2 mountains ? clearly an ambush, i go take a detour, im NOT A MORON, AND A NORMAL BRAIN MODERN TRANSMIGRATOR.
7= talkative guy surviving and not the hero and heroine
8= a pretty woman asking help in zombies ? "FK THAT, let her die, she will likely cause troubles for us"
9= guy bitted by zombie ? wow anti-routine, the dude immediately will tell his teammates to shoot him and doesnt fear death AND NOT HIDING IT
10= calm situation in horror ? wow no jumpscare at all, OR the characters be smart and be prepared for it or DOING SMART DECISIONS TO ESCAPE/CALL THE POLICE


tldr :
Kazuma "Im an advocate of gender equality. That means, i dont listen to the BS like 'Women first' that are said only when it please them"

 

[gaylolis]

my lead is basically made into bullets

 

[LesserCodex]

he abstained from any sort of sexual gratification, masturbation or relief for three years straight to level up a skill, I say it shows his dedication to a task.

 

[Elmir_Arch-Ham_of_Omega]

• During her final battle before being Isekai'd, she walked out of the flames and smoke wearing a cartoonish purple dinosaur costume, which killed her badass entrance and lost fifty dollars worth of balloons. Didn't help when she took it off because underneath she had wrinkly jeans and a Nickelback t-shirt.

 

[ATRUNA]

It has been a problem for a while that... I just felt like my lead is pretty much as interesting as a side character, so I've decided to fixate his entire development on becoming interesting.

For some reason I thought of Cid Kagenou, but he's aiming to be a mob character

My lead has a reversed name(first name is last name and last is first), a mob character, and cliché abuser

 

[Thraben]

How many guys get Isekai’d in Sandals, swim trunks, and a muscle shirt and that’s just the clothes they have now. Forever. Yikes.
That’s it. No underwear, no sleeves, and only technically shoes.

 

[SSR]

Powers give him mental instability

I got so much ammunition I sweat lead.

 

[ATRUNA]

a mob character

May I know, what is a mob character? Not a native speaker, sorry.

 

[Cynthell]

Shes the polar opposite of the normal archetype in similar stories.

Mob character is a background character
