Summary
abattoir / noun /
: a place where animals are butchered: slaughterhouse
thawing / verb /
: to become free of the effect (such as stiffness, numbness, or hardness) of cold as a result of exposure to warmth
: to abandon aloofness, reserve, or hostility
: to become mobile, active, or susceptible to change
Normal, combat-avoidant cold chain warehouse worker Sylvian Auclair wakes up inside Teyvat.
The catch? She’s a Fatui Cryo Cicin Mage, a universally detested elite mob stationed in the literal slaughterhouse of civil-war Inazuma.
Deserting the Fatui is a death sentence, but staying means being farmed for upgrade materials.
Armed with real-world cold-storage logistics and sketchy game meta-knowledge, Sylvian decides her only option is to manually ice-bridge across an entire ocean to Liyue—all while dodging the Raiden Shogun’s automated lightning barrier and dealing with a trio of surprisingly sentient bugs.
T'L;DR: An SI Cryo Cicin Mage takes one look at her spawn point and decides to manually ice-bridge out of Inazuma. Surviving a god is just standard corporate overtime.

Summary
An irritated Pokemon might tell you to stop what you're doing. An irritated animal will probably just attack you. Pokemon, for all their power, would be open books and a breeze to care for to any competent animal handler on Earth. After a fiery death, a professional zookeeper who never outgrew Pokemon games ends up in the world of Pokemon. The entire world is thrown onto its side.

Summary
They say still waters run deep. They can also be the start of a fearsome storm. Fon doesn't get a lot of choices in this life (or at the end of his last one, for that matter); not if he wants to look out for the people he cares about. So he'll keep his head down and do what he has to. Probably. He's gotten pretty good at suppressing his temper but when you literally disintegrate things when you see red, its a process.

Summary
The afterlife, reincarnation, possession, whatever. They all equaled the same thing: death was not the end. Death was... the next great adventure. I could've accepted that. I could've (with a little time and more than a little bit of swearing) accepted that my deadness wasn't actually death. But really? What the hell? I died a bipolar, not a schizophrenic!

Summary
Haruno Sakura. Her. A paranoid, pessimistic, 'I don't wanna die' oriented young woman that knows exactly where she stands in a world where Naruto and Sasuke exist. Not at the top.
This is our hero, people. She's the token teammate. And, you know what? That's fine. They don't get put into the bingo books. They get to go home to their families at the end of the day. This is fine.
No matter how hard her hot, blonde friend tries to convince her otherwise.

Summary
You wake up in the body of the MC.
The conclusion you land on isn’t Isekai or Transmigration, but Multiple Personality Disorder.
If you are just an alter ego, Zayne will probably stuff you into a psych ward until you’re “cured”.
If you are a body snatcher, the other LIs will probably kill you outright.How are you going to figure out how to stay alive while you dodge shrinks that will put you under, navigate around the most powerful men in the world who will exorcise you from the girl they love, somehow fight off organizations that want your heart not in the romantic way… and oh, wasn’t there a literal god of fate, too?
Everything is so messed up. But there is one thing that is certain:
You do not want to die.

Summary
Sayu Yagami is such a pretty name, meant for a very pretty little girl - not a dead twenty-three year old who'd somehow managed to hijack her body (but one must learn to adapt).

Summary
Eva is dead. Her death leads to her mother to change the world forever. To beckon in a age of bioweapons.
Eva is dead. But she wakes up, with new information packed into her brain. Such as her new reality being a video game in her old one.
Surely that'll shake things up?Series

Summary
Waking up bleeding from the nose is already a shitey thing, but then realizing you've gotten robbed is even worse. Of course, now everything is decided by a card game, and there's a whole bunch of things about to happen in the next few years. But hey, there's plenty of cards that people don't want, and it's not like figuring out how to use them is hard.
Discontinued for a rewrite. Really don't like the earlier chapters and decided I wanted to go for more consistent characterization.

Summary
The eyes are the windows of the soul, he remembers the popular saying. It's just ironic that his current body got everything right about his soul except for his eyes.
… He supposes the patchwork skin is a stark difference too, but, eh, details.
(OR: a human soul is reincarnated as Mahito; this confuses everyone. A Mahito self-insert.)
