Hello everyone! I'm just a reader of Re:Zero and its fanfiction (not the weird ones i swear 💀) like you. I especially liked the reverse Isekai fanfiction where Subaru's group is teleported back to their home country of Japan. This is the first fanfiction I've ever written, so I'm excited and a little nervous to write this.
But first, I have to mention who inspired me to write this fanfiction: my goats 🐐.

Basically the same as this fic, I am highly inspired by it, I recommend it, although currently (November 5, 2025, date of this chapter) it is on hiatus because the author is working on his web novel, it has 12 chapters and 82k words.

The group conquering the watchtower is teleported to Japan when they are in the field of flowers (I don't remember the exact name). It has 5 chapters and 54k words, and is currently being published (although the author is taking a while because he is busy).

Although this has nothing to do with reverse isekai and the group in Japan, it inspired me to write a fic myself. In this fic, Subaru loses his name in Arc 5 and, after being tortured by his "friends," gives up and decides to return home. It has 17 chapters and 111k words, and the author is VERY active (as of the date this chapter was uploaded).
Some other things:
I have only read up to volume 25 (I finished arc 6) of the novel.As I said, this is my first fic, so comments/constructive criticism/ideas/suggestions are all very welcome, so don't be shy.
I don't know what it's like in Japan outside of anime, so there will be mistakes (and lots of them), but I hope you can help me fix them.
Grammatical and other errors are possible, and I hope you will point them out to me so I can edit them later.I like reading long chapters, so that's what I'll do, but let me know if you prefer longer but less frequent chapters or shorter but more frequent chapters.
I'm busy with college right now, but I'll make time to upload at least one short chapter a week so you know I'm still alive.
This fic will be uploaded to Wattpad, FF.net and WebNovel with the account name: "Zorretox", any other account with this fic is not me and im not responsable for it.
This fic will be uploaded to the aforementioned platforms in English and Spanish, although my native language is Spanish.
Although I think it will be mostly family friendly and slice of life, I also want to write with tense events and such, so I am open to your suggestions.There will be obvious spoilers for all of Re:Zero up to Arc 6.
I may add more characters to the story besides those already mentioned, but I am still thinking about it.
I may not remember some things from the novel. (I've only seen the anime + arcs 5 and 6 of the web novel).
The confirmed characters that will be in this fic are: Subaru, Emilia, Rem, Shaula, Beatrice, Ram, Meili, Anastasia, Echidna (Spirit), Julius, Patrasche (best girl), Kenichi, and Naoko.It's going to be a harem, because our goat 🐐 Subaru deserves a little happiness for all the suffering he's been through. (Emilia/Rem/Shaula)
I don't want to spoil too much of what I have planned, but Subaru WILL die and use Return by Death.Rem will regain her name and memories (she won't be amnesiac).
I could add more things here if necessary.This is the English translation (I used DeepL, comment any mistakes so I can edit them later)
