not your typical

It could be that the story doesn't follow the traditional rules of reincarnation. In a typical story, there are often karmic consequences or a purpose to the reincarnation. But in this not - so - typical one, there might be no such clear - cut reasons. The protagonist might be constantly confused about why they are reincarnated and what they are supposed to do, and the story could explore that confusion in a very different way from other reincarnation tales.

Well, it might be the characters. Maybe they don't follow the common patterns of a hero and a damsel in distress. For example, they could be two people who are not conventionally attractive but have a deep emotional connection.

The 'not your typical reincarnation story' could be unique in terms of its characters. Instead of the usual hero or villain archetypes, it might feature complex, morally ambiguous characters. Also, the setting could be different. For example, it may not be set in a medieval - like fantasy world but in a modern or futuristic one, which changes the whole dynamic of the reincarnation concept.

Definitely. If you're tired of the same old reincarnation plots, this could be a great read. It might explore different themes related to life, death, and rebirth in a more innovative way. For example, it could focus on the philosophical implications of reincarnation in a modern - day context, which is not often seen in typical stories of this genre.

'Attachments' by Rainbow Rowell is also a good example. It's a unique love story where the main character reads other people's emails (for work reasons) and falls in love with one of the women through her words in the emails before he even meets her in person. It's a different take on how a relationship can start.

It could mean that the novel doesn't follow the common tropes of reincarnation stories. For example, it might not have the protagonist remembering their past life right away or having a typical revenge plot based on their past. Instead, it might offer a fresh take on the concept, like exploring the emotional and psychological changes in a more nuanced way.

One thing that makes it interesting is the exploration of new themes. In a normal reincarnation story, we often see themes like karma and second chances. But in a non - typical one, it could explore themes like identity in a different way. Maybe the character doesn't fully understand who they were in their past life and has to figure out their new identity without that knowledge. It adds a layer of mystery and self - exploration that is quite appealing.

Sure. There's a story where an old man and a young girl become friends. They bond over their love for books. The old man is a retired librarian and the girl is a troubled teen. Their relationship grows into a deep, platonic love. It's not about physical attraction but a mutual understanding and respect.

One example could be a story where instead of a human being reincarnated as another human, a human is reincarnated as an animal. And the story doesn't focus on the human trying to get back to being human but rather on the animal's new experiences and how it views the world from that perspective.

There's no fixed length really. It can range from a relatively short 100 pages or so for simpler ones aimed at younger readers, to over 300 pages for more complex and elaborate ones. It depends on factors like the number of plot branches and the depth of each storyline.
