>the average person, if isekai'd into a fantasy world, would absolutley crush it and become a ruler and a conquerer because they've half remembered some Sun Tzu quotes they've seen online
You might not like it but this is the truth. No cheat skills needed.
>b-but what about the cut-throat politics and court intrigue of nobles and local lords?
Those, are called Karens and are dealt with on a daily basis with zero effort.
The average person, if isekai'd into a fantasy world...
The average person would be called crazy and be at best sold into slavery. The average person cannot explain how electricity works, doesn't really understand biology, advanced math, logic, chemistry, etc that would be useful. Even knowledge of history would be worthless.
Life in an isekai would not be nice unless you went in with a level advantage (like Overlord), or had a lifeline to the modern world.
This nigga thinks no one knew the art of war before DIM SUM wrote it down on toilet paper.
Being able to understand 0 through 9 is already a massive leap forward.
>The average person cannot explain how electricity works
They teach you how generators and motors work in highschool. The actual math and physics behind it is more complicated, but the "how it works" part is very basic.
The actual hard part is being able to build shit with medieval technology.
Basically, more likely than not.
In the history of the world, how connected and information-rich a location was directly correlated with its relevance and power. The more rural and far-removed a place, the less they would be know and the more "backward" they would be. This is because knowledge doesn't only increase over time, it diminishes equally as well. Even with storage mediums like the written word or modern information technology, most of it is just left to rot and vanish.
In an isekai whoever transfers in holds absolutely staggering amount unique of information in their head which can then be supplemented with local knowledge.
It's the individual equivalent of the discovery of America.
Whoever transfers with unique information would be burned at the stake. Any display of it would be indistinguishable from witchcraft.
Where should your million dollar companies and giant factories since you know how to build stuff?
That's right you can't do shit in this era let alone in a less technologically advanced world.
Just stick to learning magic.
Electricity and general physics is literally basic education in decent countries my ESL friend.
Building small DC motors and dynamos is a very standard physics experiment in middle school.
Again, the actual issue would be to build shit with medieval technology. All you need to build a dynamo is a big magnet and some copper wire which is easily obtainable in a hardware store for pennies. Getting that in a medieval setting would be pretty much impossible.
