I feel bad for lutz.

 

[CodeAmmo]

Machine-translations hurt the eyes...
Also, shouldn't that be "UMU!"?

 

[Ghizghuth]

Same, poor Lutz must have had a terrible time there...
Though, I hope we'll have some kind of reaction about the Japanese's sweets that the maid got

 

[botodopo]

lol didnt she say she was worried about causing problems bringing things that dont belong back and forth, she seems to just be doing whatever now

 

[CrysisWar1234]

She's reintroducting the industrial revolution. 🤣

 

[Dreadkiwi]

Lutz just got strong-armed by the butler.

 

[duderus]

The poor girl losing out on her sweets was so adorable lol. I love how she noticed it the way she did too lol.

@botodopo shes worried about bringing tech that could ruin their economy or provide overwhelming military superiority to one nation, thus leading to militant imperialism. Face cream and shelving units aren't going to topple the monarchy.

 

[botodopo]

@Raudhbjorn how does vastly superior products not affect their economy?

 

[Raudhbjorn]

@botodopo
Luxury items aren't going to destabilize an agrarian economy. It's certainly not going to provide a military-economic advantage to the nation she lives in.

 

[noace]

Oh man, I just realized that the other world she is in now doesn't? have magic. Or am I wrong? if I am not then this is a first for me, feels weird.

 

[FlonneX]

What i genius name IKEA .?.??

 

[EX222]

butlers are the best

 

[sat129]

ugh she started off so smart but its going like this now, would have liked if she kept using her brain like maybe looking at what other stores look like first.

 

[Hades3x]

I mean the paper I get, but they shouldn't be really that far off with lettering.

 

[caiban123bo]

also does this world even has standard for technical drawing ? you can't just show something and ask them to make it right ?

@Raudhbjorn how does vastly superior products not affect their economy?

"high prices and low volume" is her business model. If she can make that stick, then it will be OK. Every once in a while, a genius artificer comes along who can make amazing things during their life, and then they pass on. Their works persist as heirlooms, but do not make fundamental changes, except for the occasional innovation that might leak out.

The Swiss Army Knife is a case in point. It is small and impractical, being rather delicate, but a fine status item for the upper class. if she can sell fewer than 100 or 1000, they will go to nobles and perhaps military officers. Some in the metalworking trades might be inspired to develop their skills, but the knife requires a lot of metallurgical knowledge as well, being made of stainless steel. The basic tech of the spring and locking mechanism of the lockback folding knife might be replicated, but its disadvantages next to a fixed-blade knife might make this a rarely-used technology. Perhaps a Journeyman would attempt making such a thing for their masterpiece, but they wouldn't be flooding the market.

Making fine paper suitable for writing on is really complicated, it seems. I recommend the book Paper: Paging Through History by Mark Kurlansky for a good and engaging history of the technology. This Isekai world seems to have books, but might not have the moveable-type printing press yet. Something written on a few sheets would have to be written by hand, and so might generally be inconsistently written (like the notebooks of DaVinci?). The fine and consistent printing on laser-printed sheets would be remarkable. A careful examination of the papers would also show that the lettering is not impressed into the paper by drawing ink over it, since there would be no abrasions from a pen. Laser printing actually melts a plastic-like powder onto the pages with heat, which would be a very mysterious process for the craftsman to figure out.
