Hard to say my favorite fictional verse, but let's say Mega Man.

Since I'm not a robot, let alone say Mega Man or Zero or other protagonist, I'm pretty much either going to live a boring ordinary life or I'm going to live an interesting life in a bad way.

Does your own universe count?

That's not fictional

Mass Effect ... It all depends on before or after Reaper invasion.

Unfortunately if that were the case we are still many years from discovering the Epstein drive. Still having to deal with the oligarchy and shit conditions unless you are the 1%

My favorite fiction still isn't good for most people, Hard Sci Fi.

If only he'd had a little more time to continue his research.

  • is a regular joe on the dead planet of "consider phlebas" pre-extinction;
  • dies of the plague that wipes out the entire life of the planet, never getting to know about the culture.

Showing up in Midgard just in time for the Plate in Sector 7 to collapse on my head.

I don't know if I'd be better or worse off than pokémon fans.

No phone, no computer, end of the world being neigh, monsters roaming the land, but living in an idyllic cute little town where none of that happens, so I'd surely be fine.

Although I would probably get sick of hearing the towns people saying the same over and over again real quick and get jealous of not being able to do magic like some of the heroes.

The mext that comes to mind is life expectency. Will I get old? I don't see a lot old people in my favorite fictional world.

They have cups of wishes which revives other players, so I'd have to make some friends there and I'm probably set for life.

Oh, and medical herbs that cure any illness would be awesome to cure the ones I have.

And I could restore my health by eating candy and chocolate all day.

..... Unless I will live in that other fictional world, in which case I would say there's a whole of that going on.... with the protagonist... except for that one world but the women there are weird... on second thought I'll stick with my fictional game world.

Spira would be okay as long as I avoid living anywhere Sin would attack.

Love to be governed by an undead theocracy that persists through the deliberate cycling of apocolyptic events, because they've got 3D underwater volleyball in the capital.

You know, I definitely didn't even think about that.

For selfish reasons, I'd pick Love and Deepspace so I can frolick through time and space with 5 (soon to be 6) different boyfriends, hunting wanderers with superpowers.

40K is actually a brighter universe than our real life one. The Emperor might just win and make some sort of heaven on Terra for humanity, becoming a techpriest can make you immortal, there is an actual afterlife and source of free energy.

Meanwhile, we are doomed to be captured and tortured by Rocko's Basilisk in real life, and the universe is doomed to repeat in cruel cycles.

We have been here before.
