5. Megami “Isekai Tensei Nani ni Naritai Desu ka” Ore “Yuusha no Rokkotsu de”
Megami “Isekai Tensei Nani ni Naritai Desu ka” Ore “Yuusha no Rokkotsu de” is set in an alternate world where one can choose their reincarnation form. In this story, popular choices such as demon king or heroes with cheat skills in harem stories have very long queues.
