Competence from previous life

What Isekai MCs actually have experience or expertise from their previous life that contributes to their new life? Not including basic high school/wikipedia knowledge like "crop rotation" since every Isekai MC ever can do that.

You forgot to add the word virgin before salarymen, how are the fans going to self insert without that?

Ainz's experience working in a company has sometimes helped him to come with ideas of how to act as a ruler, what is expected of him, how should Nazarick operate, interact with New Worlders and negotiate with them, how to treat/reward/punish/guide his followers, etc.

Mores o in the novel. There he actually goes through some analysis of his present situation and compares to corporate events, like imaging himself as seller and the Guild-master/Dwarf Council as a customer(s) to eventually sell him/them on the idea of supporting his crazy plans.

Exterminator had potential. But then it did every generic isekai thing possible.

Hey, he managed to survive in this setting. That's something.

If anything, Ainz projecting his wageslave faggotry into what is supposed to be a monster empire has made things needlessly complicated.
Nigger is desperate to give his minions vacations, free time, a salary and God knows what else as if they would go on a strike if he didn't, when what they actually want to do is just serve him.

OP asked what isekai MC actually used Earth knowledge, not advice about great isekais. Yeah it goes to shit. Especially about MC not fucking his willing harem in favor of whores. Seriously what is it with japanese MC and whorehouses? Why won't they partake of a woman that is actually interested and is not going through the motions and acting purely for money?

Nips are so autistic that thet can't understand intimate relationships unless they are involve a monetary transaction and no feelings.

That's actually quite smart, if probably unintentional.
As his Empire grows, he will gain vassals who are not unquestionably loyal.
They probably will still be loyal due to the high standards of living.

How else would you know if you got turned into a vampire while asleep?

I thought Saitama failed the job interview.

The way I see it, it's so that they can retain their 'purity' and still get their dick wet. See, the women these men wanna get married to tend not to want men who have been in a dozen or so relationships cause alarms go off that this man can't work out a relationship while if the man claims he's just in it for fuck buddies then the woman can't trust him to think of her the same secretly.

By only fucking whores, a man is being honest with his desires while still saving himself. He's not saving his sexual virginity, but rather his commitment to a relationship. This especially applies to salarymen because there's always peer pressure for salarymen depending on their company, so maybe the man needed to lose his v-card to gain his peers' respect, the older the man the more understandable such an excuse is cause while fucking whores is also a bad thing, so too is a 30+ year old virgin wanker. These women the men wank are traditionalists, so they want the men to mostly be on top, so it'd be weird as fuck to have a middle aged man be a wanker cause then that leads to the stigma that the woman picked up a virgin trash, which is more damaging than if she picked up a guy who had to fuck whores to relieve his sexual urges so that he can stay focused on his career until he finds the right woman instead of lugging around a bunch of baggage.

Now I know this logic has a lot of holes in it, but since when have humans been purely rational? If you don't believe this kind of thing is accepted, go check out Aoi Yuuki's interview where she and her peer both admit having a dandy older partner cheat on them is fine so long as they are discreet and don't get caught, cause that means it's part of their skills.

Rude.

Ouch.

That actually sounds a lot how women would think.

Nigger, no one gives a shit about a guy having a bunch of relationships in the past. Only the ones who had A LOT of relationships that ended pretty quickly will have a playboy reputation and even then women are more likely to want to be the one who "fixes" him rather than being put off by that shit.
If anything a whoremonger is more likely to have a shit reputation and have a hard time getting a woman since no one wants to be associated with the pathetic faggot who only ha sex because he paid for it.
This also ignores the fact that such a thing has nothing to do with most of these stories where the MC has a harem of waifus that would gladly share him and marry him even if he "dates" them all at the same time and yet he is too much of a faggot to commit to anything so instead he tries to have easy, responbility-free sex with some whore.

Well it's rather easy to understand, just check out shoujo/josei manga about a bad boy or sleazy middle aged man. The heroine doesn't care about the fact that the guy they fell in love with has had sex before, what they care about is that they are "the one", the first, the only, the last woman who they ever gave their heart to. That's why in those stories you see a bunch of jealous shrews because they never had a real committed relationship with the stud and were just a fling to them. What a man traditionally wants from a woman is chastity of the body, but what a woman wants is the purity of the mind, because she wants to be the sole occupant of the man's heart.

This isn't about the ancient past, I'm talking about the traditional norms of modern nip society that turned into what it is today.
>yet he is too much of a faggot to commit to anything so instead he tries to have easy, responbility-free sex with some whore.
Yes that's how we see it, because we are men. Now go show this to girls and see how all of them see it. There's no point talking about harem stories when you can count the number of female authors who endorse their female MCs as being part of a harem full of equal or superior beauties of the guy they love on like two hands.

>This isn't about the ancient past, I'm talking about the traditional norms of modern nip society that turned into what it is today.
I'm not too knowledgeable about nip society but I assume "playboys" get married as easily as in the west while whoremonger faggots are the one struggling to get married.
Leaving aside how no one sees being a playboy as a bad thing, those gusy usually are like that because they are handsome and/or charismatic, meaning that they will have an easy time getting women to look past any preconceptions or percieved flaws and become interestedi in a relationship.
Meanwhile the whorefag can't even talk to a woman without paying her first.

>Meanwhile the whorefag can't even talk to a woman without paying her first.
What makes you think that? Maybe nip males just don't have time for dating.
It's either whores or marriage for them.

Most of the girl MCs?
Usually with knowing the deathflags as villainesses, but if you mean actual professional skills:
>jk haru was a pro hooker
>dookie daughter iris was an accountant that worked with businesses and used that to fuel her jew company
>that lazy one that wanted to laze around, drink, and eat was actually a nurse and used that to save the king and push medical advances

With that said most men are competent in of themselves and don't need to specialize at shit because they have cheats and their goals are buliding harems.

Don't ask me man, I get my knowledge about japanese society from chinese cartoons.
>It's either whores or marriage for them.
I get the feeling nip wageslaves don't have time for either.

From people who get nip workers come over from japan on business trip - they spend 1.5 time at a workplace doing work of 0.8 man. But they could be treating it like a vacation and relax their wageslave anuses or something.

Now that's one ugly faggot.

>but I assume "playboys" get married as easily
Not through winning their hearts, but rather through their money, power, and looks. If you look at their divorce rates and reasons for them it's crystal clear how it contrasts to the west. The west has a culture of wanting everything to be clean even if it'll inevitably get dirty, the east has a culture of accepting the dirty water along with the clean but also play pretend to make it look clean. This is why nips don't apologize for Nanking but they also don't deny it like people would the Holocaust or start trying to retcon it like Jesus being black or English coming from Chinese. They simply ignore and maintain their silence, it's their stupid pride but it's their way of saying "yeah, so what?".

>but they also don't deny it
They don't?

When's the last time you heard a nip say "Nanking didn't happen, those photos are fake"?

...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanjing_Massacre_denial

Sleep next to an open window.

Nigga what year was this? We're talking about modern nip society. You may as well say people used to think the earth was flat so we're all retarded. Show me a fucking movement in the 2000s where they proclaim Nanking was fake, not just one or two individual nutters. Show me the same level of commitment and numbers of people who believe Jesus was a nigger.

You won't find jack shit.

>as if they would go on a strike if he didn't
You are fundamentally misunderstanding Ainz motives. He acts so generously exactly BECAUSE it is NOT like that in his previous world. His previous world was corporate dystopia. "Protesting" during work-hours and going on a strike probably meant instant dismissals and I doubt complains were welcomed either. So what Ainz is doing is to make his own "company" the anti-thesis of the dystopia he lived in, but the irony is that his subordinates are all willing slaves, basically.

Two of the dudes mentioned in that article published their shit in the 2000s.
Also:
>In January 2014, in his first press conference as head of NHK (Japan's equivalent to the BBC) Momii Katsuto downplayed the importance of the controversial comfort women system of wartime sexual slavery by equating it misleadingly with similar practices in other countries. This provoked domestic and international condemnation similar to the outcry sparked by the apologist remarks of Osaka Mayor Hashimoto Toru in 2013 and indeed by Prime Minister Abe Shinzo’s quibbling in 2007 about the degree of coercion used in recruiting Korean teenage girls to serve as comfort women. This revisionist revanchism has become rampant as Hyakuta Naoki, one of NHK’s new board members also appointed at Abe’s behest, openly denied that the Nanjing massacre happened, a position that raises further questions about Abe’s judgment and agenda.
Also also:
>Two years ago on 20 February 2012 the Mayor of Nagoya, Kawamura Takashi, told a delegation of visiting officials from Nanjing that “the Nanking Incident probably never happened.”
>The Mayor made this shocking statement in a speech to a delegation paying a courtesy visit as part of Nagoya and Nanjing’s sister city relationship.
>Mayor Kawamura’s massacre denial caused an immediate suspension of all official exchanges between the cities of Nagoya and Nanjing. For their part, Prime Minister Abe, former Tokyo governor Ishihara Shintaro, and the Japanese Society for History Textbook Reform (Tsukuru Kai) welcomed Mayor Kawamura’s statement.

Looks like there are more than one or two individual nutters:
>Support for Mayor Kawamura’s denial within the Tsukuru Kai was such that they organized a conference in Tokyo only a few weeks later, on 6 March 2012. The conference theme was “Supporting the ‘Kawamura Statement’: Condemning the Myth of the ‘Nanking Massacre’.” At this conference, Tsukuru Kai started a new organization called the “Japanese Citizens Movement for Truth about Nanjing” (Nankin no Shinjitsu Kokumin Undō, ameblo.jp/nankinkokumin). The new group clearly states their full support for Kawamura on their website.

Many months before Kawamura made his outrageous remarks to the sister-city delegation from Nanjing, other denialists were already paving the way for him. On 12 July 2011 an association calling itself the “Nagoya City Council Members Association for Thinking about History Textbooks” (Rekishi Kyōkasho Wo Kangaeru Nagoya Shikaigiin No Kai) led by Nagoya City Council member Fujisawa Tadamasa and including other City Council members from the LDP and the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) held an “Open Debate on Junior High School History and Civics Textbooks,” which was attended by 150 people.

The correct answer to this question is Knight's & Magic. Programmer who's a gunpla/plamo otaku can apply his unique skillset to isekai mecha in a way that is definitely wish fulfillment but doesn't feel too hack-y. /m/ didn't watch it because isekai, Yea Forums didn't watch it because mecha.

The author of Seiun wo Kakeru got writer's block in real life.

True story. So even if TL is dead, in real life, you would still have to deal with the author struggling with the story.

It is because the author fucked up. When I read the story, I was thinking the author is taking the story into a direction of civil engineering.

Problem, MC is the son of a blacksmith but his family just makes stuff like scissors, gardening tools, etc and when he went to college, MC did not major in engineering but business in case his dad finally retired and handed him over the family business.

So I guess the author realized he really fucked up because readers won't be able to believe some business major has the know how to construct bridges and other big public works projects.

Every new arc just became more and more glaring that civil engineering is needed but author expects me to believe MC can start making highways someday to all the villages...

I heard this from someone who actually worked as a freelancer/hired hand in multiple companies in Japan - nips put on airs. It's apparently expected of them to stay late and to show that they're "working", even if there's not enough work even for full 8 hours. So rather than do their stuff and go home on time or even early, they would stay late for, from our point of view, no fucking reason at all.
Apparently it wasn't a rule but a common occurrence nevertheless.

I mean, sure it can be super lazy nowadays but it's not a bad concept in general. You just have to use it well or limit its extent.

Out of this group robably Tanya. Guy seemed actually intelligent, along with being shrewd, since he ended up in a position to fire people. People are going to call out about Tanya knowing a lot about economics, military, and social theory, well, you learn those in college, and Tanya has gone through and excelled at a military officers academy.

Rimuru organised the construction of an entire fucking nation. From Scratch at that. Also recruiting people with expertise. From Scratch.
While he did have some help in form of high personal power in an environment where its highly valued, as well as a super AI wikipedia in his head, he still had to do the actual organising himself, but the right people for the right jobs etc. it's much more easily said than done.

You DO learn some structural things in business classes at college though. But yea the actual day-to-day work is different. But how the hell did he learn about the top management's day-to-day affairs when he was a of the corporate ladder?

Well that's a good assessment. But I'd withhold my judgement for a moment because Ainz shows promise for the PR and marketing department. That dystopian company that hired Suzuki-san probably had no one like Tanya around.
