I've been thinking about one more thing lately: Do I really need my comic to be an isekai?

The core of the story is basically the life of a non-human protagonist who's a bit smarter and curious than his brethren. I used reincarnation as a vehicle to create a contrast between life as we know it and life of an animal, and to serve as a motivation to go on adventure. I never planned for it to go beyond some weird impulses, so they never even learn about who they were before. Those impulses will have to stop being disruptive at some point. You can't have the protagonist have trouble walking with wings forever.

And once this happens, has there been any point in adding the reincarnation aspect? Isn't it possible to tell the same story on the basis that the character just happens to be smarter and curious? Whether there's a past life interfering or not, they still have to learn to fly, to hunt, etc. A past life isn't necessary for them to be scared of heights or to encounter other problems.
