So, you got sent back through time and space, and somehow find yourself in the early 1830s- arriving in the city of Lahore, then the capital of the Sikh Empire, just outside the grand mansion of French general Jean-François Allard (who had been awarded the Légion d'honneur by Napoleon, and was...

He's still 17- wouldn't be legal for almost a year, and even then he'd still require proof of age and ID which he can't provide.

MC isn't skilled enough for that, plus magical spells and artifacts don't work in our world.

Indeed you did provide it, and I acknowledged that scenario. The culture he's coming from is fairly different, but not nearly as much as it should be (like I said, this is effectively a reverse-KonoSuba scenario, with his world having already been historically influenced by other people who...

Well obviously, he'll initially be homeless- he's been reverse-isekaied from another world, after all. Or dead, in the event that he got dropped into the middle of the ocean, or a big desert, or the Arctic or Antarctic Tundras- but that'd make for an extremely succinct story where none of this...

So, we see plenty of isekais here on SH, but we don't see the reverse scenario explored nearly as much. And whenever we do, those getting reverse-isekaied are almost always secondary characters as opposed to being the MC, with their central role/s in the story being to get romantically and/or...

I mean, even the most seemingly basic and limited superpower can be incredibly OP if applied creatively enough, in accordance with the rules which govern it. For instance, in My Hero Academia, Deku's mom's 'Attraction of Small Objects' Quirk/superpower is widely deemed to be one of the most...

I know what you meant, and I got what you were saying. I'm just saying that, looking at the way people tend to write their typical ESPer training arcs, they almost always do treat it like training a muscle- mindless repetition of deliberately straining it to the absolute limit of their ability...

Fun fact- in Hong Kong, there's actually an ancient Chinese law, still in force to this day, which explicitly permits a wife to kill her husband if she finds him cheating, provided she does so with her bare hands (with this law also half-jokingly cited as the real reason why Hong Kong's arguably...

Well, technically the shockwaves thing could be vaguely possible. Looking at the strongest, fastest punchers in real life, mantis shrimp, they commonly kill their prey (and would-be predators) with the super-cavitation shockwaves generated by the speed of their punches (which achieve an...

You could add a couple of others to that list which WERE fairly successful, though. "Carrie", for instance, also treated the MC's psychic powers like superpowers in how they were obtained/classified (in a relatively unique and plot-related manner) and became a pretty huge hit. And the issues you...

Oh. Right. Really should've gotten that...

I'd seek to emulate Foutanga Babani Sissoko; going full chuuni, proclaiming myself to have mystical powers, and scamming a suitably superstitious, gullible bank manager (/managers), into giving me all of their money, by claiming that I could double it for them. Instead of trying to set up an...

Came across this today, and it got me thinking a bit: So then, does anyone think they can use this as a prompt (with theknightlyrealist's concept sounding kind of like a cross between GATE and Animorphs IMHO)? What do you reckon?

There were people to teach the children- they just had radically different values regarding the topics of marriage, sexuality and 'love' compared to humans, on account of not being humans, often corresponding to whatever template had been used for their creation. For example, the ones I/my SI...
