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.

I don't know, I'm not the judge of that.

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 :

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.

  • 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.

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

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.

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