What if only those who commit suicide get reincarnated? Like you failed the exam and you're forced to re-take it. (sh.itjust.works)

I mean yes, but it wouldn't explain population growth

100 billion humans have lived so far. Maybe the souls got sent into storage?

"Shit this one was so lonely it killed itself early"

"Hey I got an idea let's keep it away until there are a lot more people around. That way it won't be so lonely. It will have some friends"

In a long enough timeline the world will have a 10s of billions of people with an average density of Hong Kong full of the most introverted depressed humans of all time. On the bright side those humans won't fear hell

That depends on how time works. Could be a single soul/consciousness experiencing every single life one after another (or simultaneously; who knows what we're capable of if there's more to us than just these bodies).
