        Really? The only way I’d do it is if it was a repeat…

        Just imagine all the money you could make on stocks knowing which companies will succeed in advance. But money isn’t the endgame…imagine what you could DO with that money. All the lives you could change, all the tragedies you could prevent…assuming you have the willpower to not be corrupted by it

          That wouldn’t be the same conditions. You didn’t have foreknowledge about things the first time through.

          If I could have foreknowledge, that would change things.

            I suppose OP didn’t clarify if we’d remember anything in this scenario, I just assumed we did.

            I think I’d still redo it, though. Even with all the bad stuff that’s happened in my life, it’s still better than how most people live

    My problem with this kinda question is always the fact that I have kids. There is so much I wanted to do in life that was made essentially impossible by having them, and I wish I could go back and push having them off a little further out so I could have achieved a bit more. I guess if I could go back, but be guaranteed that I’d end up with the same children, maybe at a later date, or maybe just accomplishing my life goals earlier, then I’d be able to hit that big red reset button.

    I’ve been building a go-bag for months that has everything to set up a base camp. I guess I would learn horticulture and food preservation then take my rigged up backpack to disappear into the woods. Hopefully I would never be found.

        I passed the cave trials, I got my whetstone from the NPC, and I’m making a b-line for the Enclave to steal a power armor and weapons before leveling up twice.

    Completely? Witness a series of murders by a high profile criminal and get witness protection.

    Or call that guy in New Mexico for a specific vacuum package.

    If I could start a small commune or tribe of sorts, with ~10 people and plenty of arable land, I’d go for it.

    Good god no. Not unless I can change the starting conditions. I had to claw my way to this tenuous level of comfort.

    If you’re not familiar with the isekai genre.

    It’s a type of story where by some means the character leaves their own world (usually death) and wakes up in another. Typically with a new different body (but not always) and a fresh crack at life.

    I’d want a comfy slice of life story.

    A What if I could restart my life from scratch using a magical wand of some sort situation, or something more realistic like ‘I change country/name/job’?

    I would add more charisma points and remove some intelligence points. Makes for a happier life!
