  • Dude trust me, an agricultural society doesn't know how to utilize forest soil by themself.
  • Dude trust me, a society witch can build carriages will not know how to make a wheelbarrow.
Author be like:
  • Dude trust me, a manga about a yakuza incarnate definitely doesn't have to have much (if any) yakuza themed elements apart from tiny mentions of some slang and instead focus on generic isekai tropes.

While I'm here for the fantasy, and not for the yakuza, I do clearly see, that the MC slowly (and mostly unconsciously) builds his "family".

Come on... fertilizing and a wheelbarrow? This was a let down. What is he going to "invent" next? Fire?
Now, factory assembly line is something that wasn't arround in a medieval setup, that is something that makes sense to "invent" in this kind of isekai.

"Basco-san" and "Young Master Ryu" lines are in the wrong order and should be swapped.

At least he introduced assembly line logic, which is actually a relatively-new concept :clap:

It's really funny to me picturing these villages populated with folks just carrying all their luggage in wheelbarrows everywhere lol

Wheel barrows
and bloody hell it is embarrasing that a farmer does not know how to renew their farms by mixing the soil with leaves and poo from their animals. they ought to know that at least. :question:
however if he did suggest to crushing bones and use that for their soil.. it would be a good idea.

Why is this such a common trope? "People of the other world are less intelligent than the people of earth they need me to teach them basic concepts!" I'm pretty sure the Incans were one of the few cultures that didn't use the wheel for transport. There is no reason to suspect these people have the geography that would discourage use of the wheel like the Incans.

It's also a killing blow to the artisans, long-term.
Once the owner realizes he doesn't have to train the apprentices beyond making a single part, and that most thus never gain independence...

I always hate it when an isekai'd character 'invents' something, that in the context of the world they're in - which in this case, is a world that has carriages, carts, and trolleys - make no sense for that thing to not have already been invented... that 'thing' in this case, being the wheelbarrow.

Like, if that world has bread, don't belittle your audience and pretend that your isekai character invented the concept of a sandwich, WE WERE EATING SANDWICHES FROM BREAD'S INCEPTION BASICALLY AAAAAHHH! :qq:

Assembly lines are a good call. I can't complain about that one.

But I'm pretty sure wheelbarrows have existed since...like, the 200s AD or so. No idea about fertilizer, but that one feels like a BC-tier product, albeit at that point it would probably be associated with superstition rather than some formal process.

While authors do tend to abuse this trope, it isn't all that far a stretch to say that enhanced system based stats along with Magic and Skills could stifle innovation. Why waste time building a small cart when most laborers can just toss a few hundred pounds of materials on their shoulder or into a large bucket.

The same is true for using leaves as fertilizer. When most [Farmer]s defaults to their [Skills], there is less incentive to find alternative methods to increase the yield of their crops.

Again, it is a hackneyed trope and a lazy author's crutch, but it is easy to see how technology, magic, and skills can Stifle innovation. In fact I have the perfect example for our community. AI assisted MTL.

Long gone are the days where a translation team needed manual tools to scan physical books. So a digital scanner would be just as alien to a modern scanalation group as wheelbarrows are to people who wields magic and system based skills.

So while true this is being exaggerated to a great degree, it's not completely beyond all reason to think a magical fantasy setting failed to develop in the same manner we have.
