Re:Zero

Do you really think you could do better than Subaru, knowing just as little as he knows about everything?

I would rape as many girls as possible and then kill myself. Same, thing, same day, different girls. I would eventually make it into a points game as to how far I had to go to rape the girls and what standing they held in society

Yes, I honestly do. If I was dying repeatedly I can safely say I wouldn't be thinking with my dick.

But neither is he, he's thinking with his heart. Granted that's basically just as bad.

Nope, I'd start getting unstable after the first few deaths.

I'd at least experiment outside the scope of getting in half-elf bitches panties with one of my extra chances at life.

probably

I would accept my fate in the new world and start from scratch trying to make a decent honest living, then die old and take my curse to the grave
and I just realized that I'll probably be brought back and forced to live through it all over again

Yes. The only reason there is any conflict at all what so ever all has to do with the fact that subaru is a flat character who only cares about fucking some ugly bitch.

If i was in his situation I wouldn't risk my life over some one dimensional bitch i just met.

Sabara is the main reason why this show is so fucking shit.

It's not a bad strategy, you could use those decades to become a kung fu master or learn magic

Or at least learn how to read. You could even research the conflict on your own and respawn with confidential knowledge. Who knows what you'd find out twenty or thirty years after the fact?

after selling my phone to some rich fuck I would probably buy an apartment and become a landlord for a living
(apartments were a thing back then right?)

I don't know if I'd do better, but I'd definitely be less chuuni about it.

his position is too exaggerated. it's like light torture porn. there's no point of thinking of it in a way that puts yourself in his shoes.

Yeah, he's a fucking retard.

>HAVE YOU GOT THE GUTS
>TO DO
>THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS?

Nope. But he is still a dumbass for several reasons.

you're right,it's not as bad as I thought,you could probably become a god if you did it for long enough,but you'd also need to find a way to get rid of the curse's stench so that people don't notice

I can certainly have less deaths than him, because I wouldn't help Emilia after the first death. Actually, I probably wouldn't have ever come across her in the first place.

Is there any evidence for whether the curse would let Subaru run away from it all or not?

There's an entire spinoff for him running away with Rem for an entire lifetime.

If I'm being honest with myself? Probably worse.

Probably the same but with shitty one liners while I'm dying.

Anyone who thinks they'd do significantly better is just a lying faggot.

Yes, Subaru acts like an idiot and spouts memes, but he's not retarded. Most of his plans and such are pretty reasonable.

He's also likely more athletic than 99% of Sup Forums.

Most of us would probably die just as much, and just spout less autistic stuff while doing it.

A little better. I definitely would not be killing myself in order to fix the past or anything like that since there's always the risk that my powers could just stop working and then i'm legit dead.

But after my first couple of deaths I'd start documenting major events, thinking about how to recreate them and try to go for the best outcomes if possible. I'm also a lot physically weaker though so I'd have to figure out something to make up for it. Probably find or make an emergency shiv at least.

I wouldn't waste precious time being a shitty butler.

Requesting to be the assistant of the Librarian Beatrice would be a much better use of time.

I could get access to books this way and training from Beatrice to be a better assistant by being tutored in writing and reading, whereas compared to Subaru's current position, he barely has a few hours before bed to learn how to read or write.

>But after my first couple of deaths I'd start documenting major events, thinking about how to recreate them and try to go for the best outcomes if possible.
Subaru does this though.
>I definitely would not be killing myself in order to fix the past or anything like that since there's always the risk that my powers could just stop working and then i'm legit dead.
He killed himself like, what, once? And that's because it was a loop with literally no viable future.

Pretty much this. And you could argue that sticking with Emilia makes the most sense, dick/heart aside, as she's the only person he's met that can help him with his situation magically/is willing to take him in (though I guess there's Reinhard if he'd had the chance to choose).

My smartphone is at least better than Subaru.

Also, the importance of a camera in a world without cameras is very downplayed by Sabaru.

In the old days, intel of enemy fortresses and bases could only be done by first hand sight by spies and only be described through words or quick sketches by spies with good drawing ability.

A camera is much more convenient than on the demand sketching and bonus points, the image is in color.

Also, Wanted Posters sometimes fail to depict what the actual Wanted Person looks like so a camera is also handy for wanted criminals or wannabe bounty hunters.

Isn't it common sense to head to an adventure's guild first to gather information?

Subaru made the mistake of going to places like bars for information.

You don't really want to go to place that serves alcohol for information unless you are strong enough.

Most fiction shows that guilds don't allow alcohol on premises with the exception of KonoSuba since it was Half Guild/ Half Restaurant.

Is there even an adventure guild in this series? Because I don't remember Subaru ever going to one.

Totally agree with this. Only downside I can think of is that as soon as the battery dies the magic is done. Unless he also got one of those mechanical emergency chargers.

Good luck recharging your smartphone smart ass.

>Isn't it common sense to head to an adventure's guild first to gather information?
We don't even know if those exist. And how would Subaru, with no money, reading/writing, or knowledge/background do anything there?

He has absolutely nothing to his name or no abilities that would get him work, beyond his phone, which he only knows is worth anything due to the fact he decided to help Emilia.

A phone with a limited battery life doesn't mean shit in anything you said, beyond selling it to a black market merchant.

Underrated post

Guilds often provide information for free.

Bars require money and muscle and possibly intimidation to get what you want.

The checkpoints being virtually arbitrary in creation makes loops hard to exploit as is. Things only go that well because of luck.

>go to adventure's guild (which might not even exist)
>don't know where you are, what the fuck is going on, anything about this world
If you start asking for a world map, world history, or anything that you need, they'll just stare at you like you're crazy and kick you out once they see you're useless.

Those guilds are in place for actual adventurers looking for job information. They're not a seminar of geography/history/society.

If I was Subaru I would never have the return by death in the first place. I wouldn't trigger any Emilia/Satella flags at my first encounter.

Your post sucked user

>tfw crazy ass yandere elf witch will never love you enough to make you suffer infinite

feels bad man

Except in fiction, a lot of low level quests in adventure's guild is essentially being a bodyguard or tour guide and the payment fee doesn't always have to be money.

Helping someone acquire common herbs in a nearby forest in return for a cheap potion or common good is a common occurrence.

Subaru could have offered his bowl of instant ramen and bag of chips in exchange for anybody wanting an easy quest to do.

Speaking of those, does he ever get to eat them?

No, because he's already putting in the effort to learn the local language and writing and I can't even be assed to learn a second language no matter how cool or useful I think it'd be

It seems the bowl of instant ramen was never used and only one timeline were the bag of chips actually eaten.

Man, that sucks.

>I would rape as many girls as possible and then kill myself. Same, thing, same day, different girls. I would eventually make it into a points game as to how far I had to go to rape the girls and what standing they held in society
I can't believe that this concept still hasn't been explored in anime yet. Obviously if your actions were robbed of their consequences then you'd begin to question your moral precepts.

I suppose it's just too dark for an anime and too deep for a hentai series.

Pretty sure the Steins;Gate VN had something like this, maybe I am just missremembering it though.

I would be robbed by the thugs with no one to help me and become a homeless faggot for the rest of my life.

Isn't that the point of the series that he's a borderline retard?

>too dark
Even Undertale explored this concept, with the main villain saying he started out as a hero but got so goddamn bored he started killing people for fun

It's pretty much the obvious conclusion to save-scumming. If actions were devoid of consequences shit would get dark fast

Are you that much of a dumbass like Subaru to wander dark alleyways always from busy public streets?

Not even I would do that in real life or are you telling me you like to walk in shady parts of town?

or it could have been destroyed at Elsa encounter where Reinhart used his SS to destroy the entire house.

No, Okabe doesn't rape anyone. He just repeats everything in the last day to escape from reality and eventually went mad from the sheer repetition. Maybe he would rape Suzuha for real if S;G was 18+.

In Subaru's defense, he's Japanese. You ever walk around dark alleys there? It's surprisingly safe and comfy.

I am surprised Subaru didn't try selling his tracksuit.

If I was wearing a tracksuit like Subaru, I would head to a fancy clothing store or find a merchant who deals in clothing and show off my tracksuit.

If the clothing store owner or merchant gets interested in the concept of a tracksuit, I would try selling it for as high as possible in exchange for money and regular clothing.

Well no, but doesn't he push Daru in front of a bus or something because he got bored by all the shit repeating. Has been way too long since I read it so I guess it's time for a re-read.

I don't think so, no.

Excluding his chuuniism, he didn't take that much of wrong steps

>Even Undertale explored this concept, with the main villain saying he started out as a hero but got so goddamn bored he started killing people for fun
Weirdly, rape is often treated as a more dark subject than murder.

Imagine if Frisk had the option to rape Toriel in Undertale. People would be horrified.

I hope Subaru will grew out of his chuuni phase quickly. He died multiple times already, and he still doesn't take his position seriously.

Sex is all sorts of taboo. A child killing someone is more understandable than a child fucking someone against their will

Call it cultural hang-ups

Majority of Sup Forums would do better than this shitty self insert. I fucking bet even MAL and reddit could do better.

He drops a lot of it during arc 3 when things really get horrific.

>being this delusional

I have a similar reckless abandon with women, and I appreciate his candor.

>I hope Subaru will grew out of his chuuni phase quickly. He died multiple times already, and he still doesn't take his position seriously.
I think there will eventually be a time where a save point moves ahead before he wants it to and that'll be the impetus for a quick downward spiral in his mood. Just guessing though, I haven't read the WN.

Well, a lot of it goes, but you also need to think a lot more seriously about when something is ACTUALLY chuuni vs when it's a mask he puts on because he'd go insane otherwise or at least MORE insane. Because he's constantly on the edge of a pretty bad fucking precipice that goes on forever, and he gets the sense at some point that if he lets himself totally lose it there really isn't anything that's going to save him. He could go into a cycle and just suffer eternally. Trying to assume some role and give himself some purpose or pretend it's "not very serious" or "I'm a chosen one I can figure out something" sort of blurs from genuine to "desperately clinging onto something".

I guess it's just his interaction with Emilia. He always turned into a retarded mouthbreather when she's around. He's not like that with the other girls.

I'm starting to wish for her to become less relevant.

Would you say he's literally you?

I would say he is figuratively me

Subaru's problem is that he charges headfirst into situations that get him killed.

So all you have to do to do better than Subaru is not be a retard. If you know there are punks looking to mug you in a dark alley, don't go into the dark alley. If you know someone's going to try to kill you if you enter the loot house, don't enter the loot house. If you know someone's going to murder you in cold blood at a mansion after 5 days, maybe it'd be a good idea to get the fuck out of there and never associate with those psychopaths.

Anyone who values their own life can do better than Subaru.

>avoid all those situations
>live some meager life as a peasant somewhere, since realistically you're worthless
>die somehow, maybe violently, maybe old age
>reset to the save point because yandere witch

You can choose to avoid those situations, but you'll never progress by doing so. And just living mediocre lives (no money, contacts, knowledge, skills, etc) will become old and likely drive you insane very quickly.

Not to mention the number of trial by error deaths you'll likely go through just learn how to live an average life in a medieval fantasy world with no help, friends, money, or anything.

Is that really doing better?

Compared to endless suffering? Yes.

>If you know there are punks looking to mug you in a dark alley, don't go into the dark alley.
He learnt that one the hard way, but he did at least eventually learn to deal with that situation.
>If you know someone's going to try to kill you if you enter the loot house, don't enter the loot house.
I mean I've just discovered I'll be reset to the same spot if I'm killed anyway but fuck trying to save that qt girl's life or anything lol
>If you know someone's going to murder you in cold blood at a mansion after 5 days, maybe it'd be a good idea to get the fuck out of there
On the last night? It's an interesting thought. If I were him I'd hide somewhere and try to get a glimpse of the killer so that I at least know who it is.
>and never associate with those psychopaths.
That use of plurals is either a spoiler or you're way too distrusting of other people.

The killer is the red man

But isn't dying and losing the entire life you worked for over and over only to be put back into that alley endless suffering?

Some lives you might die of old age as a farmer. Others you might simply die in a mugging a few days later. Some deaths might be horrible and slow, others fast. And you'll never move towards figuring your situation out.

There's still suffering.

What makes you think you won't trigger autosaves? You have to follow the plot exactly the same as Subaru to move forward? By that logic no one can do better than Subaru.

>If you know someone's going to murder you in cold blood at a mansion after 5 days, maybe it'd be a good idea to get the fuck out of there and never associate with those psychopaths.

Doesn't work out so well

Except he hung out around the mansion instead of outright leaving.

It's even more suspicious.

Better?
No, not really.
Less stupid and inept when communicating with others?
Definitely.

Don't get me wrong, I have my own problems that would get me in some serious shit in his situation but I damn well know I could communicate and relate to people better than this sperg.

>I mean I've just discovered I'll be reset to the same spot if I'm killed anyway but fuck trying to save that qt girl's life or anything lol
But muh "every life could be the last one"

This MAD of the LN is pretty good.

STRENGTH OF DEMI-GODS

I'd probably just keep beating my head against a wall until I get what I want. I have a high tolerance for pain, grinding, and save scumming.

Nope, he has the average wit, above average willpower and thought process of an average Sup Forumsnon. Anyone who says otherwise is really thinking too highly of themselves

Not bad.

Not at all. I'm certain I could do better in some areas, but for the most part I'd probably have less success than Subaru overall.

The average user hides their power level, and does not let chuuni shit affect their behavior while amongst the normalfags.

You say that, but intellectually I am not average.

I am definitely smarter than Subaru, though I am admittedly probably weaker physically since he's apparently in pretty good shape. Willpower wise we're probably about the same.

So overall I'd say we probably even out somewhat but I think I would be able to figure out solutions to the problems that come up more quickly than him.

I miss heavy object.

I don't think that music is fitting for this series.

Granted you don't know what his motives behind his chunni shit are, its a rather good assessment.

>Willpower

Do you really think that you can get gutted multiple times and still be sane?

user, willpower doesn't work the same way in real life as it does in fiction.

I suspect most people would just abandon Emilia at some point, it just gets too tough.

I suspect that after a few drawn out deaths you would start having pretty severe mental issues as well.

>getting gutted multiple times

Once would be enough for me, fuck that loot house. Half-elf Megumin and Felt are on their own.

You lost all progress though, you grind to level 2 you'd still be back at level 1 when you savescummed.

Later on in the story you'd find out that she was hired with a bounty on your head.

So you're fucked eitherway.

>Do you really think that you can get gutted multiple times and still be sane?

Yes actually. I'm pretty sure I could handle it.

>If actions were devoid of consequences shit would get dark fast
i'm sure some higher-being will get a real kick denying the savescum ability after you beat your rape hiscore the tenth time.

Really? Are you sure about that? Man who probably yell out profanities when he stubs his toe or gets a deep papercut?

>fucked either way

Elsa route? Yes please. I will fight in order to be fucked the other way.

Well she does have a thing for necrophillia. So youre not completely wrong. It sucks you won't be alive when it happens though.

It takes a while to die from gut wounds user, it's not like your chinese cartoons.
