#OVERLORD ANIME TVTROPES SERIES#

Why have an MC who has to slowly build up relationships and social status with other adventurers if they can just buy a slave who will cry with joy every time the protag allows them to eat at the same table as them? To keep things simple, it's basically fan-service for the worst types of peopleВ while also functioning as another convenient narrative device. There are so many reasons as to why this trope is everywhere, but none of the answers are rewarding or justified. And those are just the most popular examples, there are plenty of mangaka/authors writing stories about a main character who suddenly wakes up as all sorts of things such as a dog, a phoenix, a dragon egg, a sentient magical sword, and many more! 3 Why It Works: It's A Subversion Within A Subversion

Overlord turns the MC into an 8-foot tall skeleton man, Re: MonsterВ transforms the protag into a teensy little goblin (who then evolves into many higher forms), and then there's Kumoko the SpiderВ from the atypical series So I'm A Spider, So What?ДЄt the top of the food chain, there's the god-being Rimuru TempestВ who started out as the simplistic of Slime monsters. And no, this isn't talking about vampires, elves, or other species that look basically human in appearance, it's usually more extreme. This one has only become more commonly used in recent years, but it's growing in popularity at mach speed.В Essentially it's the trope where the main character reincarnates or 'possesses' the body of something monstrous.
