    What fictional worlds would be the best and worst to be sent to as an average joe. In Naruto world you probably wouldn’t even know ninjutsu and you would only be a chuunin at best if you did. In One Piece world you would be a Lieutenant at best in the marines or a grand line pirate at best. You would never see the new world. In the cultivation world you would only be a generic cultivator who never had a fortunate encounter or incredible skills.

    A harem anime world where all the girls are at least 18 and don't look like they are 10.

    Anyone that requires physical abilities to survive, would kill anyone from our era without cheats.

    So it would need to be a world where the civilization is more advance than ours.

    world of snusnu, even average joe can snusnu with various degree of snusnu depend on how high da snusnu lvl~
    world of slice of live story or pure comedy~ sure we need to ignore dark side of such world if such thing exist~

    put it simple action theme oriented story world is no good unless you wanna improve yourself for whatever reason~
    world of scheming oriented story also no good unless you only wanna become villager A

    meh this lazy bum just wanna lazing around~

    I would like... to reincarnate as a Witch Cultist (and hopefully a Sin Archbishop) in Re:Zero. Hey, it's not bad considering you just need to witch-friendly and praise the Witch in front cultists. The initiation sounds easy, and if I fail, I'll die quick before I can register the pain.

    Obviously any modern Earth or Futuristic Earth settings. You're well used to the common sense of those, and now you have the maturity to start making a living while young instead of waiting until you're an adult~

    Modern Day is by far the best time to be living as an average person~

    On the other hand, there are plenty of chuuni people all the way to their 30s in our world. And when they finally roll around on the floor asking, "Why did I do that?", it's too late.

    The best place to send them is just our parallel world with no magic or whatever, except around the tech level of stone age or something. Sure the locals will be much stronger because they didn't rely on tools or transports, but that was why the Neanderthals were wiped out (with some of them apparently interbred into sapiens). Homo sapiens used tools, a lot of tools, while the neanderthals while they did use tools, didn't use them as effectively as our ancestors. The tools served us well. Yes, one on one, you will be no match for neanderthals, but if you have a bow... it doesn't have to be one on one. You can ask them to talk to your stone arrowheads lodged deep inside their lungs.

    If an average person ends up in another world, it should at least be a world with a language that the person knows.

    Another worlds? No matter how good that world is. You would drop death right after arrive. There's unseen danger about Law of Physics that's govern another world, especially if their law is different than us.
    Imagine your body disintegrated down to elementary particle level, because there's slightly different law that govern how atomic particle behave. Or slightly different quantum mechanic.

    World that has magic in it is the most dangerous ones. Because it's clear that it's law of Physics is entirely different then us. What if magic there could materialize because some elementary particle decomposed into form of whatever energy or particle that fueled magic phenomenon there. And it's so happen that somr particles in our body is ones that decomposed right after we arrive there.

    The Idea of travel into other multiverse is interesting, but without enough knowledge of danger of travel there we could possibly wipe out one or two universe entirely.

    Well this is my opinions. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    A bad world would be something like the world of 'Shingeki no Kyojin' or 'Parasite', an average Joe will most probably not live for long in either of them :blobsweat_2:
    As for a good one, I suppose a generic isekai one would do or maybe something like 'log horizon' world :hmm:

    i think you'll ended up dying so fast as your average canon fodder if you go to any of that dangerous world.
    just go to any slice of life world out there, chance are high you'll live as the many unnamed extra with lower chance meeting accidental death(blame your luck if you still died young)

    It’s not the world, but who you are sent to be. Regardless of time and space, if you land as a favorable princess of a King that could rule for many years you have a high chance of just being spoil. Else you need to have doting parents or be a second rich generation. Hahah image waking up one day as the school bully. Oh god, people showing up to fight left and right—and you scheming just to run away. Imagine if there is another Big Bully of the school—wouldn’t you have to find a way to get under his or her wing? It would be a hard time, but I kid going through high school again isn’t as bad as an entire new world. Except if you wake up in a military school as an average Joe—good lucky.

    I wouldn’t want to go to Naruto. Ninja always have work meaning there is alway trouble ya know. Ninja aren’t as portrayed in Naruto. Ninja is a political weapon and always has and will be.

    One Pieces looks okay until u see, you can and will be raided by pirate at one point. The best thing is to get yourself align with a political or military force.

    But I think from all the anime I have watched, I believe Claymore and Gundam movies/series r the most dangerous. Famine, Wars, and strong predators are always big obstacles to us average Joe that would not have the hero halo to magically have heroes coming to our aid or second ML wanting to help on the sideline while ML is madly fighting to dead for us—or a FL doing so.

    I haven't read it, but what about that one where he is the strongest simply by being human? Even an average person would still be the strongest simply by being human.

    Are you talking about that JP novel where he blows up the moon by sneezing or something. He got summoned and found out that humans were an ancient race that used to live on that planet. They magically disappeared one day and nobody knows why. A strand of his hair could probably destroy a country as a magic catalyst.

    It would be nice if they had virtual reality and great entertainment like movies, manga, books and stuff.

    Giving birth must be a real bitch in that world. You have to wait 18 years, then squeeze out a full grown person.

    A world somewhere in the earlier stages of industrialization. That way modern knowledge might still have some use, and the lives of normal people are quickly starting to improve. Also, with magic for everyone because magic is cool.

    I don't know, I never actually read it. Just the description made me turn away... I mean how much more lazy could the author get. But since you asked on where I'd want to be an average person, it would be a place where the average person is the strongest lol
