Why do Japanese pretend nobody but them ever showered, when prior to the Americans and Brits arriving, they very much didn't take showering all that serious.
It's just more silly Japwashing revisionism, like their bullshido crap, pretending that their noble samurai didn't mainly use their magical katanas to murder defenseless people. They did bathe in their smelly hotsprings though, and they're weirdly proud of that for some reason.

in page 14 he works on elder people's house and get paid, he also mention he can just sell gold he got from isekai
I love how easy it is in manga to just "sell gold," lolz
Like, I hope you beat it into a lump first, or something; private possession of gold coinage as currency (except in government approved cases of certified historical collection) is a crime/felony in pretty much every country on Earth.

I thought Shakespeare is dead

"Third rate TL'dliterally"
"Second rate TL'd contextually"
"First rate TL'd everything"

It's so beautiful, bringing me back in time where old school anime subbed with such care. The word were styled to matched the anime, and have small context for us foreigners. They even subbed the opening

True. I believe the bathroom is an intervention of the West!
Bathroom and toilet already being built during Mesopotamia civilization.Then the technology passed to other civilization like Indus , Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greek, Roman, Sassanid.

its invention of middle east, from one of the oldest civilization. they already have plumbing and sewage system. the new civilization copied that and improve what have they see. the reason why during dark ages people don't bath because the knowledge is lost, to the west it is. while middle east collected the knowledge from Greek and Roman and improve their current civilization like Baghdad or Andalusia. then when west started rediscovered again what had been lost to them, Renaissance happen, the rebirth and rediscovery of old technology and knowledge.

Then European come to Japan and shared that knowledge. Japanese think bath is japan invention is oxymoron. even Roman take bath in hot springs, long before japanese did.

Japan is island and isolated country. The knowledge they get mostly come from China, even their language actually come from Chinese. Kanji is Chinese words but with different pronunciation. they still write and spelled the same, and have same meaning. their Ramen, their tea, are from China.

apparently, even with internet, they still inside the border of their country and know nothing about other civilization

"Oh no! In Japan I can't really rent a place or get a job due to not being on a family register!"

Yeah... That's... that's a valid problem...

If only you could just travel to hundreds of other different countries. And had the magical ability to understand and speak any language. And you could just go there and work and rent without the legal issues you'd face in Japan.

Oh, silly fucking me, apparently you can only teleport to the world of Japan and not the country of Japan.

Holy fuck, it's infuriating that these mangaka/writers just seem to have a room temperature IQ at times.

How the heck does MC buys stuff back in Japan? I mean were did he get the money for that?

And he is happy with Japan's modern amenities, even though he had access to more advanced civilizatized world's through his Moon Gate.

Really feel that Author wasted a big opportunity to create a story with more diverse world building, by just sticking with Japanese stuff praising & shenanigans related to it.
Honestly, if he can access worlds far more advanced, he could aquire some sort of Earth-shattering tech and either use it as is to gain power and riches or get it reverse engineered in modern Japan and take the result back to the other world, at which point it won't matter whther he's nobility or not.

That's actually a good question. My guess is that they can't go through the gate (Cuz they're living) and mc don't have to worry about spreading some unknown diseases to both worlds
That would mean his health would quickly take a nose dive. The microbiomes within us are essential to maintaining our bodies. This is why we make such a big deal of protecting it when taking antibiotics.
