An interesting twist

[DubstheDuke]

So, I've seen a lot of isekai where people get reincarnated as monsters and strange objects and then have to cope with living as said monster, but what if an isekai were done where said monster was reincarnated as a human and had to learn about human society? Say a spider who only is used to cannibalism and competition among its brethren, or a goblin who once pillaged and raided human villages, or an ogre who was once considered an ugly beast that everyone avoided who lived in solitude but is now handsome and popular, or a demon who was once a strategic mastermind when it came to promoting evil throughout the world? (I have seen some things like this one actually)

Basically someone or something that couldnt possibly understand human emotions, patterns, and culture, who is now thrown into it and forced to figure it out. I think these stories could be a lot of fun.

That's sounds really interesting. *Adds it to my list of story ideas*
Oh and by the way, you should post this on Writing Prompt instead.

Does it have to be reincarnation? What if the MC didn't die, but still turned into a human? Like what @Scribbler write in Dragon Heart? Is it alright as long as the MC has difficulty in understanding human?

 

[Wlel]

Nice idea.

Might try it later

i kinda remember a story about a slime who rapes people because it got a penis now.

Me: Was a dragon, chilling and breathing fire shits while everyone fear me, some hero try to defeat me but I just wag my tail and they're ded.
Me: Die from old age
Me: Turn into a weak human
Me: Breath air
Me: No scales
Me: Can't fight
"Man life's suck. Let's destroy some village."

Yeah I mean reincarnation is just one method its the same premise

That's actually creative... though, I'd be waiting for someone good enough to make a quality story—writing reincarnation isekai stories aren't really up my forte.

That sorta makes me think of those where animals and creatures cultivate enough to gain a human form, but they aren't exactly human so they still have demon tendencies.

I do have one demon reincarnated as a human, but is just detached from human emotions, cant really tell why they just doesn't feel that way as the rest of the other ones, until they learn they weren't human to begin with in the previous life.

I think it be pretty good twist to the reincarnation thing for demons turned into humans and adjust. It shows how they don't get used to their new bodies immediately, something many transmigration and reincarnation stories seem to do.

The prerequisite is that the creature has a certain level of intelligence or at least gains intelligence after its reincarnation.
