I've recently read a number of stories on KU in the LitRPG genre that feature a character going back in time to re-live their lives. Often involve a knowledge of what happens in a VRMMORPG and thus able to capitalize on cheats, knowledge of what's coming, etc. I've also read a few stories with this format that aren't LitRPG. Love DoOvers, including Variation on a Theme here. Are others seeing these show up on other sites? Am I missing some here I should be tracking?
Alloldies but goodies.
Doin' it all over by Al Steiner.
A Fresh Start by rlfj
A New past by Charlie Foxtrot.
Lightning in a Bottle by Sage Mullins.
I didn't link it, but Rewind by Don Lockwood is highly rated. It was abandoned after a tragedy in his rl family (iircx) and he never got round to finish it, although he has recently said he will finish it on his Patreon. There's nothing new yet.
Thanks. Have read and enjoyed those. Was just wondering if others have noticed the trend in other venues.
Yes, although some of these do not use the term Do-over. Some are called regression (in the sense of the MC regressing to their childhood or youth).
Another, adjacent trope is a powerful but older character dies then reincarnates/transmigrates to a young, powerless one, and then uses his life experience and skills to build a better life, including avoiding mistakes. Not Do-over, but similar aspects of an old mind in a young body.
