if they're gonna be mining that iron then they can't be nomads anymore, they've talked about moving the village for a while now yet they haven't been packing. i guess they've decided to stick around.

Dads advice is worthless. "what are you worried about? surely there are already ppl using iron out there. Not like you know of a history where the discovery of iron reshaped the entire world not too far after to the extent it is considered as having defined an entire age - and can be considered as vital in many many similar revolutions of society. The scales are assuredly similar to what I already know, and hasn't spread because it isn't noteworthy in the large scope."

A young kid already thinking of mining iron and weapons. I'm no longer surprised. Oh hey, one chapter to go.

It took thousands of years for iron to overtake the use of bronze

The bronze age collapse more likely to happen and those who developed and has access to iron have better chance of surviving. Those who capitalized on new tech has the advantage and better chance of thriving. This is true throughout history even in modern times(current one is AI and many people fear they will lose their job unless they managed to use it themselves).

that's right, in grand scheme of thing it's trivial

i read those novel about reincarnation, rebirth etc and most of them are either afraid of his future knowledge or author just make the mc use it whatever but the "butterfly effect" is worst somehow. i doubt that's how the world works. not that reincarnation or rebirth, regressor are actually true either.

either way everything will move on even if you dont "invent" it first, the time will vary, but result are still the same
it's just a matter of who can control it first and you're not at the mercy of your enemy
heck even now we're at "stalemate" with so many country having nukes (for example). imagine if only 1 country have it, it would be either a nuclear wasteland or an united empire of earth

Depends on how you look at it. From the moment ppl found out they can work the metal (to when the same ppl made it feasible and started using it for real)? Yes. Too difficult at first.
For it to spread worldwide? Again, yes, information didn't travel that fast, and many nations kinda wanted to monopolize this advantage for either trade or war.

But once it had become feasible (something mc should be able to achieve near instantly) and someone put the knowledge to practice, it was all an inevitability from there. Doesn't matter how long it took, the pioneers still unlocked everything that came after. And in terms of the direct geographical area, it probably will be as quick as a couple generations for the tech to leak (or village start trading actual weapons) and seeing proliferate use in their wars. Which will quickly have surrounding nations steal the knowledge in a similarly short timeframe, and so on it goes (even if they manage to stop that, nations don't live long in general (mere centuries at most). And once this nation collapses or has civil war, the lid will come off forcefully all at once).
In summary, I think it's not too unlikely for things to go similarly quickly in that isekai world, as it did in ours, and will likely even happen faster (so I would estimate it to be around a single millenia at the far end, and probably be widespread in their general geographical area already within the first 2-3 centuries).

Oooh it's the Bronze Age. From the clothes and horses I just assumed he was in some medieval steppe society.

I'm calling BS on it being "the bronze age" when they haven't even discovered the wheel and carts. This is definitely pre-bronze, mid-stone or something.

It's all before recorded history and there's barely any archaeological evidence. Also civilizations don't develop like a tech tree in an rts but sporadically and branching across different communities. The current consensus is that wheels first appeared in the transition from Neolithic to Bronze Age. They're also a nomadic horse riding culture like those found in the Eurasian Steppe so many technologies we associate with agrarian, settled people may appear much later.
