Plot

After an untimely death, the protagonist finds himself reincarnated in another world. A goddess greets him and tells him he can be reincarnated as anyone he wants. He decides to reincarnate as a hero with a harem, but is told that it is so popular that he has to wait 50,000 years before he can be reincarnated. After finding out that others had shorter waiting times due to having more ridiculous requests, he decides to try out multiple reincarnations, including being a hero's rib and being a hermit crab.
