I do usually enjoy the 'villainess turns new protagonist' plots, but sometimes I think I'd really like a version that is a bit more relatable. Like the mc that transfers into that novel isn't all "oh I know every small plot point and am also really smart about political dynamics, economics and somehow also formal etiquette" and that stuff. I'd love an MC who's like "I have no fucking clue what tf I'm doing here". An MC who had read so many novels that there's no way they'd remember all the relevant details, or might not even remember clearly which novel with which particular plot they transmigrated into. Also, since it's usually a female protagonist, honestly I eeally want a FL that is all "yeah no, I'm not gonna get involved with any of those male characters. They usually always get lowkey (or highkey) obsessive and possessive over their love interest. Got no use for that shit."
And of course I know why the FLs always fail at their attempt to quickly leave high society and live a quiet life somewhere far away. After all that would take away the central plot and suspense, but sometimes I wonder whether it might not be fun to follow a story where this plan does actually work out after all.
So in other words I kinda crave to see how a painfully average character somehow manages to survive, as opposed to being some hidden gifted genius
I would love to see this comcept in a manhwa!! i think ive seen some fics about this but i dont quite remember them but one manhwa i remember that the fl doesnt know the story would probably be "I Transmigrated Somewhere" but i didnt quite like the fl #-.-)
