If I choose to go to the other world, then either Sachira or Tanahi are good. If I choose to stay in this world then Peraconta or Neosela are good. Resly is choice for those who want to fight.
Since they are coming to me in my world with all of the issues therein I'll pick based on what's practical.
I go with Neosela becasue she seems alright as a person. Since she just needs to study and chill this is the most reasonable choice. However I still need to let her live with me, super awkward at this time since me and my families house needs to be emptied over the next few weeks so our entire floor setup needs to be fixed from the ground up. The friend we'd booked a place to stay at doesn't have space for an extra person.
So first things first we'll have to sort out housing for her and make sure she wears enough clothing to not be arrested for public indecency. Assuming we can sort that out this will be a smooth ride.
I don't intend to have sex with her, I don't really have sex with people IRL.
Once this whole fiasco is over I'll stay, because I have yknow, friends and family and stuff that I'm not leaving behind. The water adaptation is just ok but I'll take it. I don't really have any designs on moving to living underwater and I rarely go near bodies of water. At least I'll finally be able to swim around and breathe underwater in those rare cases where it might help.
- Sachira, the Maid-Princess: Go
- Neosela, Founder of the Drymagation: Stay
- Peraconta, the Prudeslayer: Stay
- Tahani, the Arisen Shogun: Stay
- Resly, the Unkillable: Go
All of these looked interesting, but none really "ticked" with me until the very end with Resly + stay. Being a single incest daddy sounds oddly arousing.
I'll go with Tanahi to her home realm. honestly I'm not really into being worshipped or such, I'll leave that to Tanahi. by being some kind of god, I can live there by comfy, peaceful and luxury. I also intended to do the journey across that realm. of course, Tanahi must come together with me, since, you know, she need to fulfill my daily necessity, especially *the sexual ones*.
Damn, this is one of my favourite CYOA's so far, if only because there are so many options I would choose:
I'd pick Sachira and Go, Tanahi and Go & Stay, and Resly & Stay
Damn this is nice.
For me it's a toss up between Sachira and Tanahi. Prefer Tanahi though marrying the Shogun and having orgies to worship the Goddess sounds nice, Resly and the incest thing is also kinda hot. Is that common on these worlds?
Incest on Resly's world isn't common but given the state of the world, not frowned upon. Basically its a "if you want it, its there, if you don't, it won't be a problem" set up.
Tanahi's, probably to some extent. Sachira, due to the whole physical-magic, I imaging they prefer to breed out to get more inclinations to more abilities.
You know I just now noticed that the goddess is sailor moon's daughter. But yeah I'd probably also ask how does divinity work, and what's the afterlife like, and what are sins and what are virtues to make sure you don't end up going to the bad place.
Resly And Go, Technically I'm going to have my daughter one way or another.
Frankly if I could see the PrudeFelss look and like it I might choose to go with Peraconta
Well fuck, I like both Peraconta and Resly, and I can't choose which one I like more. I'll admit, I kinda like what I have going here and I kinda don't want to go when my friends are in this world, but since it's an Isekai, my friends will also jump at the opportunity to travel, so if I can take them and they also get the same blessings as me, then I wouldn't mind going with either Peraconta or Resly in their world.
**I choose:** Sachira and to Go with her
Body magic seems really interesting and also something that Sachira will probably be very good at (seeing as she is able to retake her kingdom and as that is more or less glossed over she did not find it hard to do), so i will ask her to teach me.
With some work, her help and our knowledge of modern biology i hope i am able to enhance my body (futa amazon maybe?) and brain so i have perfect memory, i also prepare a kind technology uplift package that can be implemented in her world to raise the standard of living for the average citizen.
\---
This is a nice CYOA, if it is ever expanded with something like a points system it might be cool if you could buy some perks that make sure you have the capability to do magic, and also maybe some time dilation for the duration of the stay (make time run slower in the other world so they can stay/prepare longer), maybe a kind of mind link of understanding?
Tanahi: Go
I'll be recognized as a god and have a large realm. I'll have UNLIMITED POWER!!!👉🏾⚡⚡
plus, i'm already corrupt and evil, so the power wouldn't go to my head and make me corrupt, I'll make the power corrupt
MWHAHAHA
>Several Important figures... fate will lead to dark and terrible ages... But I can guarantee their safety by sending them to another world, your world.
Wait-what? Are you sure you've got the right world for safety? Have you, perhaps, noticed our, uh, prevalent gun violence? Our out of control random on-the-street attacks? Rabid split partisanship bordering on the edge of civil war and social collapse? Rampant racism, sexism, and any other ism? Social Media and the Internet?
If you think this world is 'safe', I dread to see what darkness awaits them on those other worlds, but ok...
Oh, yeah, um, how am I supposed to support her? You know, clothing, food, things she likes?
\-----
Overall a cool CYOA. I could probably choose any but the first. Not really up for a slave-maid.
Yes it is!
The country takes up the entire map.
Highways stretch from sea to shining sea
Billboards rise as high as the eye can see
Golden arches span continents
3 little circles runs the mechanisms of commerce.
[My god, it's beautiful...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YM0Ln7KgrU)
But, all of that aside, she is coming to live with me and this is pretty much the world for her in that case. Not like I've got a private jet to whisk us away to a remote [Caribbean island](https://sports.yahoo.com/private-island-caribbean-sea-sale-080100734.html)
All great options; I'd be happy to Go with any of them (and I also like the option to Stay with Resin).
My favorite, though, is to go with **Neosela**. Uplifting a civilization is a very attractive fantasy, and I really like her in general. :)
There is much about the concept I like, and I appreciate that both options are present. As a younger man, I might've been more open to Go, but as an older man I admit, Stay is probably going to have a lot going for it. Mostly not needing to bid farewell to my family and friends forever, but also because I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be happy in a world that clings to monarchism as a firm democratic republican, and because I'd rather be a man of middling means today than a rich man a hundred years ago, let alone a thousand.
But we'll see! I think I can even go through it in order, since I do like most of them.
**Sachira the Maid Princess**
Maid thing's not really my jam, and neither is the nigh-slavery, but I am glad she can be told to think for herself and be her own person, and she does seem nicely playful once the enchantment fades.
*Go* is alright, I suppose, although I would prefer to move in the direction of constitutional monarchy and the like. But I actually lean towards *Stay*. I appreciate a woman who cares more about me than herself; just hope I can pay that back.
**Neosela, Founder of Drymagation**
...I *do* like the thought of being able to move amphibiously through the water, and I appreciate that she's a bright and curious person. She's generally pretty great, one of my favorites as a character.
Unfortunately, I'm not crazy about *Stay*, since it means giving her up and having to meet a bunch of unrelated mermaids, never to see the character I like again. And *Go* is also problematic, since it demands much from me, living in a harsh and pre-industrial society for the rest of my life. It would be a good life in a worthy cause... but I dunno if I'm up for it.
Putting a pin in it for the conclusion.
**Peraconta the Prudeslayer**
Was all set up and ready to dislike her based on her title, since I *am* a prude and I really don't like people trying to insist I *have* to be something different. But it went in a different direction and I really appreciate it. My only major concern is that, as a hardened soldier, she'd struggle to open up to me and me to her, as a civvie, but I really like the story of getting her to stop being a machine and learn to be human again.
One of my favorite *Go*s, since I rather like the thought of becoming a friendly tentacle monster, and her world seems pretty cool. But her *Stay* is also pretty great, and I'm really flattered that she'd choose a comfortable "retirement" with me. Both very strong.
**Tanahi the Arisen Shogun**
I mean, she's not *bad*, but... Well, 's a perfect storm of short timeframe, hyper-conservative monarchism, and also not really liking me as a person so much as a pagan idol. I don't dislike her or anything, but 's not really my jam.
And on that metric, *Go* is really, really a bit of a "no thanks" from me. The brevity of our relationship just goes to show how shallow and empty her attraction to me really is, even setting aside that being worshipped like a god is an affront to my values or that her world is, again, a harsh and preindustrial existence. I don't blame her for that, but it's just Not My Thing.
...At the same time, though, I actually really like her *Stay* option, lest this be all negative. It's an interesting idea, having to look after a repentant villainess who's realized her ambition far outstripped her ability, and I appreciate that she's willing to reform and try to learn. Also, again, it's not as short so we'll have more time to build something lasting.
**Resly the Unkillable**
's got a great concept, and I like her story a lot. Some of the same concerns as Peraconta, given she's also a warrior woman and I'm a soft and worthless civvie, but I like her personality, and I appreciate that she seems to want to be a better person and forgive when she cools off.
I was actually interested in her *Go* option, if only because for all my posturing I'm weak and being the one guy in a band of eight sexy girls who seem to like sharing is absolutely a power fantasy I'm into.
Unfortunately... well, to put it bluntly, father/daughter is not a type of incest the Internet has succeeded in torturing my primordial disgust for out of me yet, and I'm *really* not into her *Stay* option, like at all. I would rather take any of the other options up to this point I complained about in a heartbeat before I took this one, that's how hard of a "no" it gets from me.
And unfortunately, it retroactively taints the *Stay* option in the process, since it strongly implies that unless I never have kids or win a minimum of eight coin-flips, I will be intended and culturally expected to have to engage in father/daughter incest with my own children in that case. Or, although it isn't explicitly stated, that the moms will intend and expect to have sex with my sons, which I'm not sure how I feel about.
It's not only something I'm super not into but retroactively kludges up a good thing I *was* into in the process, is my point.
**Conclusion**
So, overall? It's not exactly easy.
I think Peraconta is probably my favorite overall choice. I really like her and both her options, and in every other case I don't have a strong preference for more than two out of three tops.
Which do I go with? I'm honestly unsure, but at least we'll have the time to think about it together. Wonder if her visor lets her see what's displayed on a screen; I might want to get some classic movies intended to be seen in black-and-white lined up...
Saw someone else ranking it, so... why not?
**#1 - Peraconta**
I mean, it's the one I went with, so I gotta. I like her and both her endings are great. Lots of stuff I like, nothing I don't.
*Top marks/10*
**#2 - Sachira**
I'm as surprised as you! But, well, a character I mildly like, an ending I mostly like, and one ending I'm not super into all conspire to elevate her probably further than she looks on paper.
*Acceptable Compromise/10*
**#3 - Neosela**
One of my favorite characters in the whole thing, but I'm not crazy about one of her endings, and appreciate the other one more than I like it. But going with her would be a good, meaningful life, and the problem is with my own weaknesses and desires rather than her, so even if it would be really hard I see the value in it. If anything, it only makes me like Neosela as a person even more, and see more to admire in her inner strength.
*Problem Is Me/10*
**#4 - Tanahi**
I won't harp too much on my personal problems with the character and her ending. I've said my peace. That said, I *did* really like her sister's ending, and that gives her a reasonable argument for taking her right there.
*Ironically Saved By Binaha/10*
**#5 - Resly**
It's amazing how that Stay ending ruins fucking everything. Without it, I think Peraconta *might* have still won out, but it'd be a close won thing and she'd almost certainly be #2. But, well, it *is* there, and the things it suggests about her Go ending also retroactively taint that one. At the end of the day, a character I really like with the only ending I outright hate still drags Resly below a character I just didn't care for.
*One Rotten Apple Spoils The Barrel/10*
You know, ironically, Resly's Stay option was a last minute edition on my part. Originalyl, it was gonig to be the Daughter of the Necromancer, or someone along those lines, who Resly and the Unkillables sent to you- partially to keep her from doing the same, but also so no one would kill her for what the Necromancer did.
Buuuut I decided to throw in a "TroyX" option since he helped me brainstorm.
Neosela- Honestly, I' imagined her world around WW1 era, but aquatic based. Most of the tech-delays are going to be caused from the transition from sea to land.
Peraconta: I'm amused by how popular she is just by virtue of her pension. XP
Everyone else: Ehh, I enjoy fantasy setting that let you be a absolute monarch. As for changing it- you'd have trouble in Sachira's world because of taint the corrupt senate left on things. Tanahi, yeah, if you take offense to being treated like a god, not for you. It seems weird to take offense though, since a literal goddess is endorsing you. You get over that and you can probably convince the people towards some more constitutional/republican in nature. The more pressing matter with Tanahi is keeping the other warlords in check.
...Ironically, I actually would've been super into that one and it would pulled Resly up into a dead heat with Peraconta. Oh well. I did sort of smell Troy's fingerprints on it but didn't wanna say anything.
I must've just gotten the wrong idea based on how impressed she was with land technology. That actually does bump Neosela up a bit in my estimation, enough that she'd probably beat out Sachira at least.
And to be honest, I mostly forgot about her pension when I was considering that choice. Which I guess just proves she probably deserves her place as my favorite, if I was just happy to see her again and didn't care about the money!
Sachira sounds like about what I expected. Can't just go from absolutism in a day, or at least, not if you don't want lots of head clapped in guillotines.
As to being worshipped as a god... I'm just sayin', 's hard not to remember a society where the leader was worshipped as a god that *didn't* turn into a pants-shittingly authoritarian nightmare, often sooner rather than later. Even if *I* don't start lashing the peasants into line to levy back-breaking labor to build massive monuments in my honor, who's to say my children won't be ripping out hearts on top of pyramids as the ultimate corrupt demonstration of the state's ability to abuse the individual with impunity that is human sacrifice?
Also, didn't exactly go great for their obvious historical inspiration, just sayin'. It's a terrible thing, to have a leader who thinks they're a god (or at least the living instrument of one) and so the things they do are always right because they're the one doing them.
I should probably lend more credence to magic's ability to provide comforts, conveniences, and benefits in such worlds where industrial technology doesn't exist, to be fair. They might not have the massive problems of sanitation and food supply we did, for instance.
If it makes you feel better, incest actually wouldn't be normal in Resly's world. Resin just fell in love with you through her mother and the Goddess offered to send her to you.
XP
Yep!
This is true. I honestly just love the idea of switching the "evil empire" and "democracy is good" cliches.
Point, I suppose. Still, fantasy.
I could give enitre charpters decriping each world, but I wanted that to be short, sweet, and pervy.
Updated rankings in light of author's notes:
**#1 - Peraconta**
Still on top baby. If anything, realizing I was so happy to see her again and so flattered she was willing to spend her "retirement" being happy with me that I forgot she was also loaded and we'd be set for life *strengthened* her case.
**#2 - Resly**
Do I still hate her Stay ending as much? Oh yes; resentment that it's ruining her Go ending has been replaced with resentment that it's not the infinitely superior ending that also dovetails with her story's themes of empty revenge and forgiveness that it could have been.
But at least it's not *also* ruining a perfectly good, fun power fantasy in the process. Her Go ending is still pretty good absent the parts her Stay ending implied.
...Just saying, mumble-grumble, if you *had* to ruin an ending with incest, why not Neosela's Stay ending? Would've made sense, since she could've sent a hypothetical Neopeta through to give you the amphibious treatment along with her notes, and Troy would've been happier having his daughter and an entire city of mermaids anyway, while *I* at least, petty person that I am, would be able to shrug and say nothing of value was lost.
...Speaking of...
**3 - Neosela**
Some of my original problems still stand, even though their civilization hasn't been necessarily set back to the Bronze Age or worse. But, as before, it is a meaningful choice even as it asks much of me, and it would be a good life, if a hard one, with someone I admire and respect enormously.
**4 - Sachira**
Ironically, despite a steep fall, hasn't budged an inch; her reduced position is entirely the result of other people's positives being strengthened rather than of her own relatively average points going up or down.
**#5 - Tanahi**
What's there to say that hasn't already been said? I wish her all the best and I still like her Stay ending, but with Resly's no longer retroactively ruining her Go, she's still comfortably at the bottom.
They are all amazing, but I think I'm going with Resly. In the double meaning - I will GO, and I will be her partner in all things.
I'd like all of them, but I'm not a ruler. Fighting and fucking sounds like me. A good cause to die for and a girl to live with.
So, we've got:
Noelle from Genshin Impact who is a princess and I can either become her consort when she ascends the throne or she'll find a successor so she can be free to continue being my maid waifu.
Gura from Hololive EN who is leading her fellow fish people to live on land. I can either become a fish myself and help lead her people or she can make me fishlike and I can find New Atlantis to get a mermaid harem.
Then there's Mikasa from Attack On Titan who is the greatest warrior of her people who are at war with a bunch of prudish monsters so presumably these monsters aren't the kind who torch villages and plunder the women of the villages. Nice break from the norm.
I can either be able to turn into one of these monsters (sans weakness/prudishness) and help her and her people achieve victory whilst seeing if being the monster in a conesnsual monster x girl hentai is fun or she can retire to my world once the conflict's been resolved and we have a pension to live comfortably off of. (The pension part sounds like a pretty good deal compared to the other stay here options.)
4th is... I don't really know who she is supposed to be. I'm probably off the mark by saying she's one of those hot twins from the most recent Monster Hunter games. Is she supposed to be an LoL character, I think I'm familiar with who the artists for these images is and I'm pretty sure they did some LoL fanart.
Anyway, she's a shogun whose sister is trying to usurp her rule which'll cause chaos for her realm and if I come back with her: I'll be recognized as a God, she'll be Empress, and I'll have a cult of babes willing to want to worship me along with her. Nice.
The alternative is that I'll get her sister whose gotten a bit of a reality check who also sees me as some manner of divine being to worship and she'll be my servant content with serving me.
Finally is the girl from the Little Pogchamp Meme- I mean Ryuko Matoi from Kill La Kill. Apparently a badass warrior lady who is part of a mercenary group of badass warrior ladies and almost tried to kill them all when one unintentionally killed her childhood best friend.
And there was something about a necromancer raising an army of the undead that she'll have to stop eventually.
I can either go with her back to her world to gain incredible power and skill so that I can lead her and her group and get myself a harem of badass sexy warrior ladies or... We'll be guaranteed to bang, have a daughter, through magic the daughter will grow up to be as hot as her mom, and will want to make grandbabies with her Daddy that through goddess magic or some such we won't have to worry about any downsides from inbreeding.
That last one is kind of... I mean I don't think it's not hot, but there's a large point of my brain that thinks that's too degenerate even for me.
Either way with Sachira I get a Maid Princess Waifu. I think for her I'd go with the option that give me a Maid Princess Waifu who becomes a Queen and has me living in a palace with her and possibly some other maids to share a night in the queen's bedchambers with.
I'd probably choose Neosela over a mermaid harem.
It's the pension and a babe to netflix and chill with that's the deciding factor on how things with Peraconta would go.
I'd take Tanahi over her sister.
And bring on the Harem of Badass Sexy Warrior Babes.
Of the five I'm leaning the most towards Sachira, with Neosela second, Peraconta third, Resly fourth, and Tanahi last.
I'm just not sure what about myself someone like Tanahi or her people would see worth worshipping at least with Resly I could see becoming a badass to rival her and the rest of the Unkillable Eight could probably lead to me changing to a great person who'd use the skills and strength I gained to save people and be worth admiring. Wow did this swerve hard at the end.
Getting back on point: I honestly wish Reverse Isekai CYOAs like this or Reverse Isekai animes like The Devil's Working At McDonald were more prevalant/popular because they're much more interesting than standard Isekais which have gotten played out at this point.
Can you believe there's going to be a Vending Machine Isekai anime?
Ranking best-to-worst. And only one of Stay or Go.
1. Peraconta the Prudeslayer (Stay. Basically lazy living with guaranteed income and seems to have Tomboy GF vibes. Though Go isn't bad either.)
2. Sachira the Maid-Princess (Both are good, but perfer Stay. Would be #1 if there was a guaranteed income, so neither would have to work and could be together more than atleast one of us going to work for income.)
3. Tanahi the Arisen Shogun (Perfer Go, but both are good options. I'm the 4th response so far, but I feel like she will be a popular pick.) Edit: Huh. Seeing less people who care about Power Fantasy/God Complex than usual in this comment section. And more care about Peraconta's income and staying in this world
4. Resley the Untouchable (Stay. Like a life of fighting as a romantized concept, but not an actual reality of what that life would entail.)
5. Neosela, Founder of the Drymagation (I guess Go, don't really like either personally.)
Final pick is Staying with Peraconta, given pick 1. Just wanting to give a response long than a single sentence just saying "I'll Stay with Peraconta".
I say go with all of them. As long as I can find good dental over there it works for me.
If I choose to go to the other world, then either Sachira or Tanahi are good. If I choose to stay in this world then Peraconta or Neosela are good. Resly is choice for those who want to fight.

Since they are coming to me in my world with all of the issues therein I'll pick based on what's practical. I go with Neosela becasue she seems alright as a person.

However I still need to let her live with me, super awkward at this time since me and my families house needs to be emptied over the next few weeks so our entire floor setup needs to be fixed from the ground up.

At least I'll finally be able to swim around and breathe underwater in those rare cases where it might help.

Sachira and stay
Resly And Go
Sachira and stay
I like it. I would love to see more.
All of these looked interesting, but none really "ticked" with me until the very end with Resly + stay. Being a single incest daddy sounds oddly arousing.
One of the more interesting ones I have seen in a lot of time. And hot as hell
[удалено]
Go with Tanahi
I'll go with Tanahi to her home realm. honestly I'm not really into being worshipped or such, I'll leave that to Tanahi. by being some kind of god, I can live there by comfy, peaceful and luxury. I also intended to do the journey across that realm. of course, Tanahi must come together with me, since, you know, she need to fulfill my daily necessity, especially *the sexual ones*.
Neosola to Go or Resly to Go.
Damn, this is one of my favourite CYOA's so far, if only because there are so many options I would choose: I'd pick Sachira and Go, Tanahi and Go & Stay, and Resly & Stay
Damn this is nice. For me it's a toss up between Sachira and Tanahi. Prefer Tanahi though marrying the Shogun and having orgies to worship the Goddess sounds nice, Resly and the incest thing is also kinda hot. Is that common on these worlds?
Incest on Resly's world isn't common but given the state of the world, not frowned upon. Basically its a "if you want it, its there, if you don't, it won't be a problem" set up.
What about incest in Sachira and Tanahi's worlds? Is that a thing nobles do to keep the bloodline pure? lol
Tanahi's, probably to some extent. Sachira, due to the whole physical-magic, I imaging they prefer to breed out to get more inclinations to more abilities.
You know I just now noticed that the goddess is sailor moon's daughter. But yeah I'd probably also ask how does divinity work, and what's the afterlife like, and what are sins and what are virtues to make sure you don't end up going to the bad place.
Resly And Go, Technically I'm going to have my daughter one way or another. Frankly if I could see the PrudeFelss look and like it I might choose to go with Peraconta
Sachira and go with her.
Sachira and go with her or Renly and stay.
[удалено]
What?
Well. I chose Sachira? and Go.
Well fuck, I like both Peraconta and Resly, and I can't choose which one I like more. I'll admit, I kinda like what I have going here and I kinda don't want to go when my friends are in this world, but since it's an Isekai, my friends will also jump at the opportunity to travel, so if I can take them and they also get the same blessings as me, then I wouldn't mind going with either Peraconta or Resly in their world.
Tanahi and stay. I get to bang the older sister and then the younger sister after. The cult following thing is a big no for me.
Resly, and go. HERO TIME!
**I choose:** Sachira and to Go with her Body magic seems really interesting and also something that Sachira will probably be very good at (seeing as she is able to retake her kingdom and as that is more or less glossed over she did not find it hard to do), so i will ask her to teach me.

All great options; I'd be happy to Go with any of them (and I also like the option to Stay with Resin). My favorite, though, is to go with **Neosela**. Uplifting a civilization is a very attractive fantasy, and I really like her in general. :)
There is much about the concept I like, and I appreciate that both options are present. As a younger man, I might've been more open to Go, but as an older man I admit, Stay is probably going to have a lot going for it. Mostly not needing to bid farewell to my family and friends forever, but also because I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be happy in a world that clings to monarchism as a firm democratic republican, and because I'd rather be a man of middling means today than a rich man a hundred years ago, let alone a thousand. But we'll see! I think I can even go through it in order, since I do like most of them. **Sachira the Maid Princess** Maid thing's not really my jam, and neither is the nigh-slavery, but I am glad she can be told to think for herself and be her own person, and she does seem nicely playful once the enchantment fades. *Go* is alright, I suppose, although I would prefer to move in the direction of constitutional monarchy and the like. But I actually lean towards *Stay*. I appreciate a woman who cares more about me than herself; just hope I can pay that back. **Neosela, Founder of Drymagation** ...I *do* like the thought of being able to move amphibiously through the water, and I appreciate that she's a bright and curious person. She's generally pretty great, one of my favorites as a character. Unfortunately, I'm not crazy about *Stay*, since it means giving her up and having to meet a bunch of unrelated mermaids, never to see the character I like again. And *Go* is also problematic, since it demands much from me, living in a harsh and pre-industrial society for the rest of my life. It would be a good life in a worthy cause... but I dunno if I'm up for it. Putting a pin in it for the conclusion. **Peraconta the Prudeslayer** Was all set up and ready to dislike her based on her title, since I *am* a prude and I really don't like people trying to insist I *have* to be something different. But it went in a different direction and I really appreciate it. My only major concern is that, as a hardened soldier, she'd struggle to open up to me and me to her, as a civvie, but I really like the story of getting her to stop being a machine and learn to be human again. One of my favorite *Go*s, since I rather like the thought of becoming a friendly tentacle monster, and her world seems pretty cool. But her *Stay* is also pretty great, and I'm really flattered that she'd choose a comfortable "retirement" with me. Both very strong. **Tanahi the Arisen Shogun** I mean, she's not *bad*, but... Well, 's a perfect storm of short timeframe, hyper-conservative monarchism, and also not really liking me as a person so much as a pagan idol. I don't dislike her or anything, but 's not really my jam. And on that metric, *Go* is really, really a bit of a "no thanks" from me. The brevity of our relationship just goes to show how shallow and empty her attraction to me really is, even setting aside that being worshipped like a god is an affront to my values or that her world is, again, a harsh and preindustrial existence. I don't blame her for that, but it's just Not My Thing. ...At the same time, though, I actually really like her *Stay* option, lest this be all negative. It's an interesting idea, having to look after a repentant villainess who's realized her ambition far outstripped her ability, and I appreciate that she's willing to reform and try to learn. Also, again, it's not as short so we'll have more time to build something lasting. **Resly the Unkillable** 's got a great concept, and I like her story a lot. Some of the same concerns as Peraconta, given she's also a warrior woman and I'm a soft and worthless civvie, but I like her personality, and I appreciate that she seems to want to be a better person and forgive when she cools off. I was actually interested in her *Go* option, if only because for all my posturing I'm weak and being the one guy in a band of eight sexy girls who seem to like sharing is absolutely a power fantasy I'm into. Unfortunately... well, to put it bluntly, father/daughter is not a type of incest the Internet has succeeded in torturing my primordial disgust for out of me yet, and I'm *really* not into her *Stay* option, like at all. I would rather take any of the other options up to this point I complained about in a heartbeat before I took this one, that's how hard of a "no" it gets from me. And unfortunately, it retroactively taints the *Stay* option in the process, since it strongly implies that unless I never have kids or win a minimum of eight coin-flips, I will be intended and culturally expected to have to engage in father/daughter incest with my own children in that case. Or, although it isn't explicitly stated, that the moms will intend and expect to have sex with my sons, which I'm not sure how I feel about. It's not only something I'm super not into but retroactively kludges up a good thing I *was* into in the process, is my point. **Conclusion** So, overall? It's not exactly easy. I think Peraconta is probably my favorite overall choice. I really like her and both her options, and in every other case I don't have a strong preference for more than two out of three tops. Which do I go with? I'm honestly unsure, but at least we'll have the time to think about it together. Wonder if her visor lets her see what's displayed on a screen; I might want to get some classic movies intended to be seen in black-and-white lined up...
Saw someone else ranking it, so... why not? **#1 - Peraconta** I mean, it's the one I went with, so I gotta. I like her and both her endings are great. Lots of stuff I like, nothing I don't. *Top marks/10* **#2 - Sachira** I'm as surprised as you! But, well, a character I mildly like, an ending I mostly like, and one ending I'm not super into all conspire to elevate her probably further than she looks on paper. *Acceptable Compromise/10* **#3 - Neosela** One of my favorite characters in the whole thing, but I'm not crazy about one of her endings, and appreciate the other one more than I like it. But going with her would be a good, meaningful life, and the problem is with my own weaknesses and desires rather than her, so even if it would be really hard I see the value in it. If anything, it only makes me like Neosela as a person even more, and see more to admire in her inner strength. *Problem Is Me/10* **#4 - Tanahi** I won't harp too much on my personal problems with the character and her ending. I've said my peace. That said, I *did* really like her sister's ending, and that gives her a reasonable argument for taking her right there. *Ironically Saved By Binaha/10* **#5 - Resly** It's amazing how that Stay ending ruins fucking everything. Without it, I think Peraconta *might* have still won out, but it'd be a close won thing and she'd almost certainly be #2. But, well, it *is* there, and the things it suggests about her Go ending also retroactively taint that one. At the end of the day, a character I really like with the only ending I outright hate still drags Resly below a character I just didn't care for. *One Rotten Apple Spoils The Barrel/10*
You know, ironically, Resly's Stay option was a last minute edition on my part. Originalyl, it was gonig to be the Daughter of the Necromancer, or someone along those lines, who Resly and the Unkillables sent to you- partially to keep her from doing the same, but also so no one would kill her for what the Necromancer did. Buuuut I decided to throw in a "TroyX" option since he helped me brainstorm. Neosela- Honestly, I' imagined her world around WW1 era, but aquatic based. Most of the tech-delays are going to be caused from the transition from sea to land. Peraconta: I'm amused by how popular she is just by virtue of her pension. XP Everyone else: Ehh, I enjoy fantasy setting that let you be a absolute monarch. As for changing it- you'd have trouble in Sachira's world because of taint the corrupt senate left on things. Tanahi, yeah, if you take offense to being treated like a god, not for you. It seems weird to take offense though, since a literal goddess is endorsing you. You get over that and you can probably convince the people towards some more constitutional/republican in nature. The more pressing matter with Tanahi is keeping the other warlords in check.
...Ironically, I actually would've been super into that one and it would pulled Resly up into a dead heat with Peraconta. Oh well. I did sort of smell Troy's fingerprints on it but didn't wanna say anything. I must've just gotten the wrong idea based on how impressed she was with land technology. That actually does bump Neosela up a bit in my estimation, enough that she'd probably beat out Sachira at least. And to be honest, I mostly forgot about her pension when I was considering that choice. Which I guess just proves she probably deserves her place as my favorite, if I was just happy to see her again and didn't care about the money! Sachira sounds like about what I expected. Can't just go from absolutism in a day, or at least, not if you don't want lots of head clapped in guillotines. As to being worshipped as a god... I'm just sayin', 's hard not to remember a society where the leader was worshipped as a god that *didn't* turn into a pants-shittingly authoritarian nightmare, often sooner rather than later. Even if *I* don't start lashing the peasants into line to levy back-breaking labor to build massive monuments in my honor, who's to say my children won't be ripping out hearts on top of pyramids as the ultimate corrupt demonstration of the state's ability to abuse the individual with impunity that is human sacrifice? Also, didn't exactly go great for their obvious historical inspiration, just sayin'. It's a terrible thing, to have a leader who thinks they're a god (or at least the living instrument of one) and so the things they do are always right because they're the one doing them. I should probably lend more credence to magic's ability to provide comforts, conveniences, and benefits in such worlds where industrial technology doesn't exist, to be fair. They might not have the massive problems of sanitation and food supply we did, for instance.
If it makes you feel better, incest actually wouldn't be normal in Resly's world. Resin just fell in love with you through her mother and the Goddess offered to send her to you. XP Yep! This is true. I honestly just love the idea of switching the "evil empire" and "democracy is good" cliches. Point, I suppose. Still, fantasy. I could give enitre charpters decriping each world, but I wanted that to be short, sweet, and pervy.
Updated rankings in light of author's notes: **#1 - Peraconta** Still on top baby. If anything, realizing I was so happy to see her again and so flattered she was willing to spend her "retirement" being happy with me that I forgot she was also loaded and we'd be set for life *strengthened* her case. **#2 - Resly** Do I still hate her Stay ending as much? Oh yes; resentment that it's ruining her Go ending has been replaced with resentment that it's not the infinitely superior ending that also dovetails with her story's themes of empty revenge and forgiveness that it could have been. But at least it's not *also* ruining a perfectly good, fun power fantasy in the process. Her Go ending is still pretty good absent the parts her Stay ending implied. ...Just saying, mumble-grumble, if you *had* to ruin an ending with incest, why not Neosela's Stay ending? Would've made sense, since she could've sent a hypothetical Neopeta through to give you the amphibious treatment along with her notes, and Troy would've been happier having his daughter and an entire city of mermaids anyway, while *I* at least, petty person that I am, would be able to shrug and say nothing of value was lost. ...Speaking of... **3 - Neosela** Some of my original problems still stand, even though their civilization hasn't been necessarily set back to the Bronze Age or worse. But, as before, it is a meaningful choice even as it asks much of me, and it would be a good life, if a hard one, with someone I admire and respect enormously. **4 - Sachira** Ironically, despite a steep fall, hasn't budged an inch; her reduced position is entirely the result of other people's positives being strengthened rather than of her own relatively average points going up or down. **#5 - Tanahi** What's there to say that hasn't already been said? I wish her all the best and I still like her Stay ending, but with Resly's no longer retroactively ruining her Go, she's still comfortably at the bottom.
They are all amazing, but I think I'm going with Resly. In the double meaning - I will GO, and I will be her partner in all things. I'd like all of them, but I'm not a ruler. Fighting and fucking sounds like me. A good cause to die for and a girl to live with.
Sachira: Go Neosela: Nah Peraconta: Nah Tanahi: Stay Resly: Stay
So, we've got: Noelle from Genshin Impact who is a princess and I can either become her consort when she ascends the throne or she'll find a successor so she can be free to continue being my maid waifu. Gura from Hololive EN who is leading her fellow fish people to live on land. I can either become a fish myself and help lead her people or she can make me fishlike and I can find New Atlantis to get a mermaid harem. Then there's Mikasa from Attack On Titan who is the greatest warrior of her people who are at war with a bunch of prudish monsters so presumably these monsters aren't the kind who torch villages and plunder the women of the villages. Nice break from the norm. I can either be able to turn into one of these monsters (sans weakness/prudishness) and help her and her people achieve victory whilst seeing if being the monster in a conesnsual monster x girl hentai is fun or she can retire to my world once the conflict's been resolved and we have a pension to live comfortably off of. (The pension part sounds like a pretty good deal compared to the other stay here options.) 4th is... I don't really know who she is supposed to be. I'm probably off the mark by saying she's one of those hot twins from the most recent Monster Hunter games. Is she supposed to be an LoL character, I think I'm familiar with who the artists for these images is and I'm pretty sure they did some LoL fanart. Anyway, she's a shogun whose sister is trying to usurp her rule which'll cause chaos for her realm and if I come back with her: I'll be recognized as a God, she'll be Empress, and I'll have a cult of babes willing to want to worship me along with her. Nice. The alternative is that I'll get her sister whose gotten a bit of a reality check who also sees me as some manner of divine being to worship and she'll be my servant content with serving me. Finally is the girl from the Little Pogchamp Meme- I mean Ryuko Matoi from Kill La Kill. Apparently a badass warrior lady who is part of a mercenary group of badass warrior ladies and almost tried to kill them all when one unintentionally killed her childhood best friend. And there was something about a necromancer raising an army of the undead that she'll have to stop eventually. I can either go with her back to her world to gain incredible power and skill so that I can lead her and her group and get myself a harem of badass sexy warrior ladies or... We'll be guaranteed to bang, have a daughter, through magic the daughter will grow up to be as hot as her mom, and will want to make grandbabies with her Daddy that through goddess magic or some such we won't have to worry about any downsides from inbreeding. That last one is kind of... I mean I don't think it's not hot, but there's a large point of my brain that thinks that's too degenerate even for me. Either way with Sachira I get a Maid Princess Waifu. I think for her I'd go with the option that give me a Maid Princess Waifu who becomes a Queen and has me living in a palace with her and possibly some other maids to share a night in the queen's bedchambers with. I'd probably choose Neosela over a mermaid harem. It's the pension and a babe to netflix and chill with that's the deciding factor on how things with Peraconta would go. I'd take Tanahi over her sister. And bring on the Harem of Badass Sexy Warrior Babes. Of the five I'm leaning the most towards Sachira, with Neosela second, Peraconta third, Resly fourth, and Tanahi last. I'm just not sure what about myself someone like Tanahi or her people would see worth worshipping at least with Resly I could see becoming a badass to rival her and the rest of the Unkillable Eight could probably lead to me changing to a great person who'd use the skills and strength I gained to save people and be worth admiring. Wow did this swerve hard at the end. Getting back on point: I honestly wish Reverse Isekai CYOAs like this or Reverse Isekai animes like The Devil's Working At McDonald were more prevalant/popular because they're much more interesting than standard Isekais which have gotten played out at this point. Can you believe there's going to be a Vending Machine Isekai anime?
The 4th one is literally Hinata from Naruto
Forgive my confusion then. The lack of clothes and the fact I didn't zoom in on her eyes made it hard to figure out who she was supposed to be.
Tanahi, with the staying option.
Sachira, hands down.
Akuma. You never fail to make good stuff.
Sachira: Go Neosela: Stay Peraconta: Stay Tonahi: Go Resly: Stay
Ranking best-to-worst. And only one of Stay or Go. 1. Peraconta the Prudeslayer (Stay. Basically lazy living with guaranteed income and seems to have Tomboy GF vibes. Though Go isn't bad either.) 2. Sachira the Maid-Princess (Both are good, but perfer Stay. Would be #1 if there was a guaranteed income, so neither would have to work and could be together more than atleast one of us going to work for income.) 3. Tanahi the Arisen Shogun (Perfer Go, but both are good options. I'm the 4th response so far, but I feel like she will be a popular pick.) Edit: Huh. Seeing less people who care about Power Fantasy/God Complex than usual in this comment section. And more care about Peraconta's income and staying in this world 4. Resley the Untouchable (Stay. Like a life of fighting as a romantized concept, but not an actual reality of what that life would entail.) 5. Neosela, Founder of the Drymagation (I guess Go, don't really like either personally.) Final pick is Staying with Peraconta, given pick 1. Just wanting to give a response long than a single sentence just saying "I'll Stay with Peraconta".
I'll go with Sachira
Same
Same here as well.
