The only thing that's unnecessary in this story is reincarnation... If it's about mc being unnaturally smart, then instead of "human knowledge from the previous life" clishe crap the author could just explain this as him being the spirit with some blessing that makes him so wise... This is just forcing this boring trope to something good, something that's perfectly fine without it.

... I need to stay away from that side of the internet for a while. I have been there for too long that I read Milfiria and think her nickname to be Milf...

That seems to apply to a lot of Isekai manga, most seem to forget the Isekai aspect almost immediately and it never comes up again, so it would have been just fine not being Isekai. I will never understand the manga industry.

Making it isekai means the story works better as escapism. Same reason Harry Potter is just some boring ordinary kid until he finds out his real parents were powerful wizards. Same reason Neo from The Matrix is just some run-of-the-mill office worker until he finds out he's actually The Chosen One.

Turning regular fantasy into isekai also creates a convenient excuse for other characters to drop an infodump on the otherworldly protagonist, rather than letting the audience learn everything organically.

A lot of isekai are set in a medieval setting, and often with the hero in question from bum fuck nowhere, which is the usual reason said hero gives for not knowing anything, they don't generally walk up to people and say "Hi I come from a different world can you explain how things work in this world?" People would look at you like an insane asylum escapee.

I don't know about escapism, I think that's more a personal thing but the infodump aspect doesn't usually rely on the isekai part of the story to exist.

Having the name Milfiria in your manga and giving it to the kid instead of the fox mommy is a crime

Ah, but the kid will eventually BECOME a fox mommy. In time.
