How come more protagonists in Isekai's don't go insane over the lack of internet, movies, TV or video games?

>>280785354 (OP)
When your life is worth living and you have things to look forward to you don't need jewish slop

It's not essential and internet is only filled with dumbasses like OP

Because Internet, movies, TV, and video games are the things driving them insane.

>>280785354 (OP)
You get used to it.

>>280785354 (OP)
>JUST develop your magitech until it's capable of creating your own internet, movies, TV and video games.

>>280787080
Rimuru doujin are top tier

>>280785354 (OP)
>doesn't mention music
That's the real thing that would drive me mad.
I'll accept truck-kun but only if the destination has an interent with a landscape of developed music. Hard pass if no.

>>280785354 (OP)
You get to have sex left and right, that should be enough dopamine to replace the internet

>>280785354 (OP)
Seconding on music. People would greatly miss that artistic medium.

>>280787350
>>280787599
Music has existed since the dawn of mankind
What are you guys implying?

>>280788146
I mean the vast modern diversity of easily perusable music anon.

>>280788146
You're not going to have deathmetal and swing and chiptune and j-pop in ye olden times anon

>>280788198
>>280788478
You'll just explore the new universe of never head before musical theory in another world that will be so dissimilar from our understanding of how music has been understood that will suffice

>>280785354 (OP)
Because you either kill yourself after 2 months or are detoxxed and do not feel like it's that important anymore. Your system just adjusts.

>>280785354 (OP)

>>280788619
No it won't. The world better be sufficiently modern or magitech or the variety and accessibility of music will be severely lacking.

>>280788769
Learn an instrument and you can make whatever music you like.

>>280785354 (OP)
other forms of entertainment exist

>>280785354 (OP)
Have you gone on a trip without your tech shit? You get over it after a day or two, especially if you've got other shit to do.

If you don't, your brain's just too autistic to thrive in the isekai world anyways, sorry.

>>280786218
fpbp
>>280787080
any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology

>>280788769
99% of instruments existed before electricity, so you can make almost all kind of music by making, say, a guitar and explaining to the educated musicians of the time a thousand new ideas on how to make music, and then lay back and listen to people much smarter than you make their version of pop, metal, rock etc
If magic exists it's even better, you can make the equivalent of a sound system and make techno, chiptune, eurobeat etc a reality by showing it to mages with musical inclination
Imagine if someone from another dimension appeared into OUR world: just explaining what kind of music they listened to would turn the entirety of the current musical landscape on its head

>>280788804
If I can make music directly with magic that'd be pretty baller yeah...
World needn't have invented a compuation contraption yet in that case.
Still would be nice for workflow though.
vid related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Kc2gGycBXc

I have a fantasy about an isekai I would call "Legend of the Bard Spider"
An isekaijin music expert as a spider that casts sound magic using a vast network of webs/"conyeror nets". Plucking the strings to play, and making the whole contraption automate and play itself. A web computer with logic gates and such in web-form. Part "mechanical" (meaning webs psyically moving) part magical currents.

Kumo desu dissapointed me a bit lol

>>280789210
That would be badass

>>280789233
>Legend of the Bard Spider
Kek godspeed
Follow your dreams anon

You couldn't make analogue of metal work in Isekai because its all distortion and playing around with effects such as tape delay, reverb and echo to create that huge booming guitar sound you hear on the records or just loud ass fucking amplifier pushed to the max with distortion due to the breaking of the tube signal. Unironically only thing I would miss.

>>280789344
My spider would be badass and have NO human transformation. Never a human face depicted as floating alongside his head either. He would communicate with effort, eventually figuring out a way to "play" a constructed voice with his strings

>>280785354 (OP)
You have it completely backwards. Modern society is the one without those things. You are brainwashed cattle.
>internet
sl0p substitute for 3rd places.
>movies
sl0p substitute for theater.

sl0p substitute for books.

>>280785354 (OP)
Do you really think half the anons here would care about any of that shit if they could use magic?

>>280789611
>You couldn't make analogue of metal work in Isekai because its all distortion and playing around with effects
If there's magic you can explain to mages smarter than you how that would sound and they would develop it, and if there's no magic the laws of physics and chemistry are the same, so you can explain to the learned men of science of that world how electricity, circuits and the like works

>>280785354 (OP)
Being able to have sex all the time helps

>>280786218
This. And picrel in OP literally had everything handed to him after rebirthing is his new world. He doesn’t have to wage miserably either to survive. There wouldn’t be any need to escape from that.

>>280788146
This. I would miss synth music. No acoustic instrument can even compete https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b_-2845NjE

>>280785354 (OP)
In a society that's not broken, you don't need them.

>>280790022
>you can explain to the learned men of science of that world how electricity, circuits and the like works
do go ahead

The Neolithic Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

>>280792313
Like water moves from up to down, so in any system invisible particles called electrons move from places with different properties, called charges, analogues to different heights.
It's possible to create and control this flow by using inherent properties of various metals, minerals and even water in order to store and start the spark of electricity in a closed circuit.
The rest is details that one can in a week by reading the most elementary texts about the basis of electromagnetism.
As per circuits you don't need the modern chip system, transistors will suffice for 99% of music making and those are basically electric flow-regulators

>>280792551
>>"go ahead and give us a demonstration them"
>uuuuuh....
Admit it, you wouldn't invent shit.

>>280785354 (OP)
because in exchange for the numbness of technology they get literal magical powers which give them far more dopamine than all the things you mentioned combined

>>280792987
>go ahead and give us a demonstration them
I'm not inventing shit, I'm explaining to people smarter than me how things work on a microscopical level
I'm talking to that world equivalent of someone who has a PhD
That's not how the conversation will go

>>280793087
I see, you're one of those too-stupid-to-know-he's-stupid people.
It is how it's going to go if you can't even propose a basic experiment that can be reasonably performed.

>>280793674
I know how to make a voltaic pile; i will then use it to manipulate the limbs of a body, dead or alive
This will demonstrate
1) The principles of electricity I just said are real;
2) it has applications that are immediately measurable;
3) it's replicable
Is that enough for you?

>>280792551
What if Magic is just your control over Electrons and your Elemental Affinity is just your innate understanding of how to control said Electrons to do what you want it to do?

>>280794106
Then mages smarter than me in that world would have already invented the equivalent of modern technology that is activated using magic-sparked electricity
If that has yet to happen the world is fucked because it means people had access for centuries and centuries to direct manipulation of the laws of physics via direct mind link and no one has been smart enough to make a steam engine

>>280794333
> Why make steam engines when you can make ships that just fucking fly, lmao.
That's their explanation and you see flying ships flying overhead patrolling the place while keeping nature in relative pollution free state. Problem officer? (Remember a lot of the natives want to keep Nature pristine there for better quality Mana etc.

>>280793952
Ok, that IS quite viable. They might burn you at the stake afterwards for necromancy or possessing people, but it is viable.

>>280785354 (OP)

Don´t they? Rimuru is building a whole civilization for the sole purpose of achieving contemporary entertainment standards.

>>280794381
They fly by... controlling electrons?
You know that planes don't fly due to electricity, right?
Also, why do you assume nature is sacred and must be preserved in than world?

>>280794409
>They might burn you at the stake afterwards for necromancy or possessing people
Anon I'm talking to chemists and physicists, not a fucking priest
Nobody burned Alessandro Volta, they named a unit of measure after him

>>280794469
> Higher quality of mana if nature is more abundant/clean.
> You had people tripping more often seeing fairies and shit tall tales when there was less technology.
> You could spin it around and say there's less mana due to pollution killing it off in modern world.
> Well if no mana they just like it because of Natives like Elves and such enjoy being around nature and many fairy folk types help in growing plants etc.
Plenty of reasons why Nature would be sacred in another world with magical plants and the like that allow high quality ingredients for potions to be accessible if the pollution shit is kept in check.
ETC. Its not "Sacred" just "Functionally Beneficial" to keep away from that world.

>>280794565
>mana
>fairies
>elves
How do those interact with electrons?
Also, flying ship and electricity have nothing to do with each other, I repeat
And making modern technology doesn't mean polluting, especially if magic is taken into account

>>280794622
> Mana is your power source to manipulate fucking electrons directly, the divine spark get it?
> You could manipulate gravity of an object through enchantment magics to fly through air and control its movement that way through whatever fuel source is being used.
> Modern technology IS polluting because of plastics, garbage and other pileups of junk and synthetic materials that ends up post-production existing in that world thanks to the invention of those things.
There could also be a fixed-stasis for technology, something bad happening to the whole world if the world develops too much etc this is quite a common trope to explain why the world stays as it does.

>>280794722
>Mana is your power source to manipulate fucking electrons directly
You can't make a ship flying with electricity unless you make a current so poweful that the electromagnetic field of two charged masses try so hard to reach each other due to the charge difference that they surpass the gravity pull of Earth; if one mass is the size of the ship every living being around such an huge mass of flowing electricity will die by heat dissipation proximity

>>280794834
They probably reached a work around already. I mean, Spelljammer has that whole fucking psychic pilot thing going for it so who know show they manage the "know-how" we as readers don't need to technically know it, it just exists, like how a person who knows how to operate a computer and program things might not be able to "build all parts himself" if you understand the analogy for that? A burger joint flipper probably can't make a grill even if he was handed all the tools to make a grill without prior education.

>>280794522
>surely isekai morality is just like turn of the 19th century Europe, what could go wrong
The answer to someone with that attitude is "a lot".

>>280794905
>fucking DnD as a worldbuilding template
LMAO

>>280794960
First you have to ask the nobility for funds and the right to proceed with your idea, they go consult the priests to see if the new idea is sound and fitting to the morals of the country, once those hoops have been passed and they greenlit your new idea you'll get funding, if they agree and see it as a beneficial, you probably have to explain how it could be useful to the nobility or the warrior class other than just economy as well to get said funding.

>>280794989
That's all Isekai though either D&D/DQ/Final Fantasy/Trails/Korean MMO-Slop.
Only a few unique low fantasy ones or really high fantasy where magic replaces any need for high tech.

>>280794960
>19th century Europe
Experts in chemistry, physics, math, engineering and such existed since the fucking Bronze Age
If that isekai world is so fucked that someone demonstrating how electricity (something everyone knows exists due to natural phenomena) works and can be controlled it must mean that nobody
1) learned how to control and manipulate fire, so no cooking
2) learned how to smelt and combine metals, so no swords
3) learned how to process minerals, so no paint
4) learned how to harvest and cross plant, so no agriculture
That's not an isekai, that's an alien civilization

>>280795156
> Why would there be no cooking.
Dude, everyone has to eat?
> Almost always lit up magic fires to cook their food on the open pit.
> Probably some dwarf-stand ins learned metalworking due to lack of magical aptitude, you can make swords out of wood and bones. (Check out some primitive shit dingus.)
> Paint is really simple, they want to dye their clothes or whatever so they created pigments through natural processes, maybe its treated as one of the alchemical processes.
so forth.
Again, Alchemy, they would know how to raise plants and harvest things much more efficiently thanks to natives who do that by merely walking the fuck about and having sex in the wilds man, nature spirits, fairies, gnomes and elves whatever, you want those guys happy and you will have fertile landscapes and yes, a "Fantasy World" is an Alien Civilization, thanks for playing and earning the dumbest fucking award. Its speculative fiction not medieval fiction, its about "what if a culture like this sprung up in a world like that and what would happen if such and such did x y and z."

Much like Sci-Fi but with magic.

>>280795336
Then why would I be burned at the stake for demonstrating how electricity works while everyone is doing crazy shit?

>>280795409
If you made tesla's equipment, yeah they would be like...
> The fuck you are a fucking madman.
> That's like the highest level Lightning Magic Spell and you are throwing it around like its nothing.
> THAT'S WITCHCRAFT! BURN THE WITCH!

>>280795465
Post Script:
> People don't want to be out of jobs they feel are special. People are petty as fuck.

>>280795156
Or you could, you know, heat up a wire or something, instead of starting off with fucking necromancy. Your utter lack of common sense is really something.

>>280785354 (OP)
Wouldn’t you prefer magic powers over the internet?

>>280795643
Magic Powers over the internet so I can mystically broadcast isekai fuckery to twitch and they can't do shit about it?
> Enter into the slave shops.
> "Hey twitch! I'm going to be buying a black person today! What's that? Slavery is wrong? LOOOOL."
> "Heh, zoinks scoob, I only paid their debt and freed them."

>>280785354 (OP)
because they get other shit handed to them on a silver platter, like magic powers or divine blessing or whatnot
a real modern city dweller would most likely get robbed and killed 2 minutes after being isekai'd

>>280796053
Most modern city dwellers are violent pack animals so not sure about that on average especially in largest cities. They could probably handle well in a fight or flight situation but navigating beyond that without GPS and modern culture they would not live long lol. Cities are always dangerous even in real world depending where you go. If they entered an alleyway like Natsuki Subaru, they would 100% be robbed and killed by a gang of thugs.

Why would someone need escapism when they can just buy a slave elfgirl and breed her every day?

>>280790754
Having a slave is morally wrong btw

>>280797149
Depends if you treat it like a job agreement, pre-interview your slave and agree to release them afterwards or not and if you keep a savings account for them as a reward for a good job afterwards. (Indentured Servantship.)
> Having a slave is morally wrong according to nobody other than atheists and feminists.
Meanwhile..

>>280797149
It’s fine if she consents and enjoys it despite the guy being hesitant about at first

Bump

>>280792313
Build a voltaic pile and give the onlookers a few light electric shocks and make dead frogs move again. It's what scientists used to do around 1800. Should be good enough for a fantasy world.
