I love seeing people talk about theirs DRs, but I still feel shy sharing about mine. Instead of posting about my DR in detail, I’m going to share a list of DRs I don’t want to shift to.
When I was younger I was obsessed with the movies. I wanted to be Harry. I envied him for his found family. I was fascinated by the spells, talking portraits, magical candy, and secret passages. But I can’t look at this series the same anymore. The author has ruined the magic.
Even if the author wasn’t a pice of shit, I don’t want to go through school as a child again. I hated school so much because of the lack of freedom and punishments for poor test scores. Ignoring my person experience, the characters in this world go through so much trauma. I wouldn’t be okay watching my friends being tortured or dying.
On a more petty note, I don’t think I would be friends with the golden trio. I’ve heard they are self centered and snooty in other people’s DRs.
For this one I know people are talking about the show more than the games, but I know more about the game. Does the distinction really matter? They use the same kind of zombies.
First of all, I would never willingly shift to any kind of apocalypse DR. Let’s get one thing straight. I am a couch potato. I like my modern conveniences. How am I supposed to order delivery during the apocalypse? I don’t know how to dress a wound, or hunt, or fight. I’ve never used a gun before. I don’t want to constantly worry about starving, running into the wrong group of people, or being horrifically killed. I already have a hard time trusting people. Why would I risk being betrayed in a high stakes situation?
I love the characters so much. But that’s because I interacted with them as a player. If I actually talked to them we wouldn’t get along.
Self explanatory. I refuse to go through it again. Now you might be thinking to yourself 🤔 “But isn’t TWST a high school setting”. Yes sir. You are absolutely correct… But I scripted it to be a university. I mean I am shifting to a guys only school setting. Might as well age everyone up because I refuse to deal with teenage boys due to ✨personal experiences✨.
I have a small confession to make. Early on in my shifting journey I really wanted to shift here. Yes I know I contradicted myself about my no schools DRs rule. I was willing to make an exception for a fantasy setting damn it!!!
I went overboard on my script. I made a thorough backstory, a cringy superhero name, paragraphs about my quirk, and included so many pictures about my outfits, dorm room, and hero costume. I am not kidding. My script was 9 pages.
You see dear reader I made a bit of a fucky wucky. I was so excited about the MHA anime. I mean it’s practically like if Sky High was an anime. Right??? WRONG. I only watched the anime and tried to avoid manga spoilers. I inevitably found out a whole ass war happens and immediately abandoned this DR.
Also now that I’m thinking about it I was shifting to be a cop. A cop with cool ass powers, but still a cop nonetheless. And that makes me cringe.
Pick any of them. Your Turn to Die, Danganropa, Squid Game, etc. I feel like this genre would be ruined for me if I shifted here. Though I find it fascinating what people do when they are backed into a corner, I do not want to be on the receiving end of violence.
I don’t understand the appeal of fame. I hate being the center of attention. Performing in front of a bunch of people isn’t my idea of a fun time.
Being a celebrity seems so stressful. I would constantly worry about saying the wrong thing and destroying my career. Or even fading off into obscurity. It’s insane how quickly the public can flip from loving you to hating your guts. Look at how Britney Spears was treated by the public.
I don’t want to deal with fandoms. I would be annoyed by the constant speculations about my love life. The lack of privacy would make me miserable.
7. Otome Isekai Manhwa DRs
This genre is my guilty pleasure. I have read way too many of these. I know all of the tropes in this genre. I can guarantee you I’d be killed for a stupid reason. Probably for forgetting the male lead’s name and calling him something else. Also it would be way too meta.
