After dying in a car crash, (or whatever generic Isekai opening best suits you) Johan finds himself in the magical world of Equestria. Of course, magic is subjective, especially considering that Johan doesn't seem to have it in the slightest.
Now he's stuck in a world he doesn't seem to belong in, while his friend starts to reap in the glory of being the main character. All the while, mysterious conspiracies centuries in the making start to flare up, as villains from the ancient past and the present seem to both be gunning for the poor deer.
As if it couldn't get any worse, apparently he's developing a voice in his head. Great for him.

Good Luck on this one dude
hope johan gets some good stuff this time round
It has returned.
i have not read the first one as you have called if you're going to the isekai protagonist versus normal guy you have to flesh your protagonist.
A real person .... deer, with flaws (real flaws not flaws that turn into advantages further in to the story) and true to life reactions in your character. Be aware that if he flips his shit after something establish either what or give little signs he's about to do it.
this advice came from anime/light novel fan
Woo hoo it’s back!
I like it! I read the previous version and somewhat liked it, and this reboot is something I like even more!
10663630
Same here.
Hey! It,'s back!
*throws a fire work that is definitely not a surface-to-air missile*
Lets hope they wont let anything go too much to their heads too fast *knocks on wood*. And that ponies don't mess up everything in an instant 'because alicorn stallion' *breaks the wood from too much knocking*
And good luck in this version.
Let's see how it goes this time.
Seems good so far. Although with what Johan has in store for him, he really only has to say "Do X and let me out of this insanity/help me, if you don't you're just admitting you never cared about me at all and I'm just a tool to be abused".
I don’t know why but seeing the picture and title made me think of the deer from Infinity Train, Allen Dracula.
Alrighty. Interesting premise. A parody of the classic isekai genre, something akin to Konosoba, and Re:Zero. I’m definitely looking forward to his struggles in overcoming the dreaded Side-Character position. Makes me wonder if he gets into a fight only to be nearly killed but then saved by his alicorn buddy. Heh, maybe I’m thinking too far ahead of myself. Anyway looking forward to reading this iteration of the Deer. ^>^
"Deer god."
Make it drama again, i will shoot my plasma Breath on you
10663929
what if that's the powers he gets tho?
10664059
There’s more...
Alright this got rebooted
The deer from the cover art looks adorable,
10664665
No.
I read most of The last one and a song that kept comming to mi mind was this Song fair warning that the song contains some Hard language for some [only the F word but some may consider it a very bad word] I just wanted the moment johan had enough and just sang this to the others.
This is good.
10664602
wasent alan draculas power that he could do whatever he wants?
10665956
My point exact
The deer has returned, and we get to see the beginning of their story this time too!
Hoping Johan gets a bastardization arc.
Is this some sort of vision?
What does his cutie mark mean?
If bees could do it, so can you.
What’s watching them?
What does nullifidian means?
So the entire world is equestria?
A horn and antlers?
Then what are their voices like?
Is the one saying that the one that blew up the map?
What’s a kes’kel’kes?
Alright, friends! We all know what we must do: Get to writing it's own stories to create a shared universe built on the concept of, "I'm stuck in a magical world of adventure, friendship, and love, and it's fucking bullshit."
Or I guess we could, you know, not? I'm a washed up hack, I don't write anymore.
10675123
Hey if you want to do that, I won't stop ya lol
The marvel cinematic universe, except instead of Tony Stark and others we have;
A defeatist deer, an overpowered mary sue alicorn, and a bunch of other horses.
The dream right there XD
I like it, just make sure Johan becomes a main character by the end.I personally wouldn't mind seeing Derek fall into something like how you originally portrayed him since power corrupts and all that.
"Someone screams really loud and gets stronger:"
John?
Well this is looking interesting.
Does this take place after season 9?
She didn’t even do anything.
Politics are weird.
You are the children of prophecy.
We don’t know if that’s him.
Are supposed to read them?
Then, how come they are just discovering them?
So that mean four creatures are revealed in the hieroglyphs?
We got contact. And now we wait what ponies do next, that just might screw over the main characters... Or just one of them.

This time around Derek is not as much of a massive asshole, alongside everyone else.
While there will be moments where Johan is certainly left behind and shizz (you can't have a story centering around a side character who has it rough without things like that) this time around things will not be so hopelessly miserable.
Child prodigies who are better than their more experienced but oddly incompetent elders for no apparent reason.
Being better not through skill or practice, but rather just having more “willpower”.no wait, you already did thatThanks , I hate the equestrian government.
10682150
Good to know. Still kinda expecting (equestrian)ponies to mess up somehow someway that "just an apology"/"being extremely sorry" does not instantly fix. That they would need to put an actual genuine effort to getting forgiveness...
But for now, we patiently wait for the next button.
The resent trope of the actual hero/chosen one/whatever(Johan) is overlooked for the more obvious looking pretty boy/young maiden/alicorn(Derek). The actual hero is then ignored, mistreated, imprisoned, exiled, some combination of those, etc. while the worshipped fake protagonist doesn't know this is happening, doesn't care, can't do anything about it, or actively makes this happen.
And then the story lines following it have several events happen where the true protagonist somehow discovers there true powers/potential and make friends with the few people who acknowledge them powers or no powers.
That's a pony specific one, but it needs be said: Twilight Sparkle testing (and fudging) a spell, thus creating a "find the cure" type quest.
10682150
Wait, does that means he'll get to save the door?
Is derek being dick again in this rewrite?
Johan get power upgrade?
10682987
(for Derek)not intentionally this time apparently.
(for Johan) eventually
10682563
If I hadn't put a ton of effort into doing stupid stuff like making fake language for the antagonists of this story,
I totally would have fuckin done that holy shit XD. Genuinely wish I thought of that beforehand.
And now we wait for the townsponies to lose their minds I think. And what other things might happen on the side...
im just looking at the last thing on the checklist and thinking that johan being terrifyed and screaming his way to god of nature accidentily would be funny
Hahahaha, it really does
You missed an opportunity to mentally torture your readers...deer.
Chapter 1:
I like it so far. Classic cartoon humor. Nice.
The awkward moment caused by the small wings made me smile with nostalgic amusement.
The very start is not very...original, but standard is gud nuff. I think they should have spent an hour or so before being able to actually move, but nothing wrong with that either.
Chapter 2:
I wonder how annoying that would be and how the exorcism would be performed.
Chapter 3:
Twilight is one of those characters who should use the correct word. I might be splitting hairs...
*sigh* Opinion: Why cant we have stories without that blasted mirror? You can put EqG on that checklist.
Mmmyeah, I think I will keep reading...
10724034
Not gonna spoil much, but EQG will play such a small role in this story that they are only going to have a single chapter appearance and then be promptly abandoned due to reasons that I will not spoil.
Is it a changeling?
A what?
I thought I was 2 weeks.
Is this a different version of the castle or something?
Why?
10724288
1. Maybe
2. Will probably be explained later
3. A moon is 2 weeks. She said that it would take 30 moons.
4. I don't know
5. 'Cause it's a bad horse pun like Manettan or Neighpon. It would be like calling a town with humans in it "humansburg" or something
