Regress. To go back.
Reincarnate. To go forward.
Transmigrate. To escape.
Three popular genres.
If I had to come up with a new one, then⌠Maybe something about splitting and combining? I dunno though. I donât think there will be an appeal in the constant loss of identity. It wonât be relatable at all.
Isekai with time travel.
This was actually a long-scrapped draft of mine, some weird combination of House of the Dragon, a Mr. Robot-esque protagonist, a strong coming-of-age theme, dimension-hopping between both our dimension and the fantasy dimension being a key story element of the second half, and a really cool antagonist that I really want to find a use for at some point given how good a character arc he gets.
Isekai = Transmigration.
Time travel⌠Everyone is travelling through time to the future, so I assume you meant travelling to the past, which⌠I hate the genre in general, but technically regression is a subgenre of time travel.
Would be trapped in a game world count towards that? (Where the plot starts when, the protag enters the world.)
In that case itâs already an existing genre.
Well, itâs not a genre yet, but I think I already read a few novels, which had experimented with the idea. They mostly use clones of themselves, so it probably not exact with your definition, but I think itâs the closest, which is morally acceptable.
(Also depending on the philosophical view on possesiom type transmigration in a few novels, they are some, which can be considered this as well.)

Itâs not really like Doctor Who. Itâs not exactly reincarnation with memories intact but different personality. Itâs⌠more like âlosing the sense of selfâ which I now realize is basically impossible to transcript into a digital format.
Itâs more like⌠If someoneâs life is a book, then the genre would be akin to splitting the book into pieces; into chapters. To any reader, it would be a hassle to piece the pages together, and the worst part is that the pages grow, branching into their own stories. Then, at some point, the booklets are gathered again, forced to combine into an amalgamation of mismatched stories.
migration?
hi geyde
Clones⌠is a hit or miss to me. If they are drones, then they are no better than puppets. On the other hand, if every clone have a persona of their own⌠Now that is what I like!
The context is usually important, but usually I consider any form of transmigration as that. âEventually, the MC either returns or dies in the world they were summoned to.â Such is the fate of transmigration.
Itâs a story of fiction. A means of escaping reality. Abandoning the present in exchange for another. Though sometimes, the MC has no say in the matter, and is forced to abandon the present.
Well, there is a difference between a summoning-like transmigration (where the protag just appears from thin air), and a possesion-like transmigration (where the protag overrides someone elseâs personality.)
In the first one there is no question about who they are. In the second, it is sometimes goes in question. (Which can be considered as a split/combine personalities, as you described in your first post on the topic.)
This is a more specific one. I remember two of such novels to existing, but in both cases the reader is following the viewpoint of one of the âclonesâ and thorough the novel, the protag realizes that the BBEG is technically their original self.
