Subaru still has Return by Death.
The world is still cruel.
The loops still hurt.However, when he meets his first end...
“WHY THE HELL DID I BECOME A MAGICAL GIRL!?”
He wakes up not recognising himself, or rather, herself. Subaru finds an unremovable bracelet fused onto his wrist, and whenever it glows, he transforms into a girl far more capable than he ever was.

Summary
Subaru Natsuki was never enough.
All he could do was flail endlessly and curse the world for its unfairness. To start over again and again, to hopelessly wail in terror against the inevitable, that’s all that he was ever good for. He was never more than a rotten piece of shit obsessed with how others thought of him. But his other self, Tail Black, the person who fought, protected, and above all else ensured Emilia’s safety, was enough for the task. It had always been her doing the impossible, not the cowardly, pathetic weak piece of trash that was “Subaru Natsuki.”
So “they” would cast aside “Subaru Natsuki.” Bury him in the deepest depths of their consciousness until the world was finally cured of the disease that afflicted it. The cult, the knights and nobility, even the commonfolk who hated Emilia for nothing more than her appearance. No matter what the cost, no matter how many times it would take, “they” would achieve an ending in which
they wereEmilia was happy.Pride If to Cardinal_M's A Tale of Twintails

Summary
In the high pitched tone of a young woman, he mutters to himself, “So I’ve been summoned into another world, dropped into the middle of a war between demihumans and humans, can die and go back in time, and to top it all off as if that wasn’t ridiculous enough, I’m also a twintailed magical girl who can fly? This is too eventful of an isekai. It can’t even keep the genres straight.” He sighs, heavy. Part of him hopes this is just some oddly vivid lucid dream, so he slaps his cheeks and centers himself. It doesn’t wake him up, so he has to assume this is somehow real, and do the best he can. Lives hang in the balance.
Or: What if Natsuki Subaru was summoned forty years early during the Demi-human Civil War, dropped right into the battle of Aihiya Swamp, with magical girl powers?
