I watch a lot of isekai and read a lot of light novel and now manga and I was thinking if a god appear before me telling me i was getting isekai to you average medieval world with magic what skill, magic or abilities would I ask for  here mu list

summoning/ taming/ golem control and construction it maybe safer to let something else fight a dangerous enemy or make up for an ability you couldn't get or forgot to ask for. I even go so far as to pick up necromancy especially if it a world with a truly evil race/species (like in goblin slayer where the goblins have to redeeming qualities) i could kill and re-animate these evil creature and thrown back at their own kind.
 
basic health or mana upgrades disease resistance and the like

basic elemental magic 

what would you pick?

The traditional alchemic ability of gold generation. I will just need to be conservative with it so it doesn't cause an inflation and tank the economy.

Having the powers of my forum avatar & profile pic will be cool if you ask me.

Also, any power that can potentially make me rich like Myne's knowledge about books or something.

I've always wanted aokiji's devil fruit from one piece. I would just freeze the ocean and bike ride my way across the world. Or freeze an entire district and rob a bank or something. Can kill anyone instantly by freezing and breaking, no one can touch me unless haki exists lol.

I wanna be able to manifest weed and coke and other drugs at will. Also good, ice-cold cocktails. With powers like that it's only a matter of time until I rise through the social circles of any world. And even if I don't, I'm still gonna have a blast.
I probably regret this post by now.

After watching Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road, I have completely changed my stance on powers I would like to receive in isekai.

Anything that has an unlimited progression or infinite potential is a big no-no. Powers like turn any x into y, could easily evolve into being able to affect concepts like time or reality. Imagine messing up the timeline or rewriting some basic rules of the universe and not knowing how to return anything back to normal. Also loosing control of the powers would not be fun.

Even if the powers had a limit on the progression, I would try to avoid anything that could grant me immortality, unless I had some kind of trustworthy anchor to keep my sanity or stop the power from working. Though, the duration of normal human life seems too small for me, so I wouldn't mind prolonging it.

What the powers should then have? It has to be effective in majority of situations and it has to protect me flawlessly. You never know in what kind of a situation you can end up with. Something abstract like ''While having the will to live, nothing can stop me''. So I prolong my life, succeed at least at something and will die after the passion ends. Though, this does not rule out the possibility of me becoming evil maniac, who wants to be an eternal tyrant.

If I was guaranteed that nothing bad, which my current self would react negatively towards, would ever happen with my powers, then I would of course choose something fun like manipulating time.

If I would be isekaied first of all I wouldn't know what type of world I be in so I'd be happy to keep my own personal experience form Buhurt and Shooting sports, when it comes to powers most likely I'd love to have Gremmy's power from Bleach TYBW where he put he put his imagination/his thoughts into reality.

If this would be too much most likely I would go to some sort of time manipulation like Kiristugu has in Fate/Zero but without such effects to heart so I would be able to fasten myself to some degree and slown enemies or myself to some degree which could be improven it would come in handy while having a clash with sword&shield or any sort of gun/rifle.

Superhuman strength and eternal youth. A lot to ask for, but I don't need much else.

I don't know the language? I don't know another world's customs? Who's gonna complain to me when I can punch a mountain to dust in front of their eyes? Sheer force and violence can speak louder than words. Other people will do all the thinking and tip-toeing around for me. Just give me a roof, three meals, and a nap every day, and I'll take care of all the menial labor. I'll get used to everything else as they come.

IF I were to tone it down a bit...then maybe something like a persuasion check? Like, whatever I do or say, I'm more likely to convince people to my cause.

Hmm guess it depends on the world. If has magic and creatures with powers and everything I definitely wouldn't mind the predator/great sage combo. But predator would be kinda useless if it's all normal people

I mean, just think about that.
You can make some business type of opportunities with that type of knowledge & you can multiply yourself everywhere.(EZ big information network + potential business partners.)
& not to mention, finding the real you when somebody wants to kill you since you can switch consciousness with your clones at will.

Not to mention, very overpowered at night.
& i didnt even mention the time abilities yet.

I want it so I'm unable to be hurt or killed or die of hunger/disease/freezing/etc., that's the minimum baseline (dying of old age is fine). Fuck getting stabbed for being a foreigner or for getting caught up in some dumb local conflict, or starved to death or mauled by whatever fantasy creatures exist there.

And if magic exists in that world, I want the affinity to be able to learn it, because studying magic sounds fun.

Everything else (language, how to make a living, how to study magic, romance, how to evade any potential chosen one tropes, etc.) I'll figure out on my own. A world where everything is handed to me sounds boring, and I don't like the idea of being overpowered anyways. I just wanna make sure I don't die to stupid shit while I get used to that world, that's enough.

not a bad selection getting isekai a lot easier if you know the basic about the society and not worried about dying of the bat if the god has to dump you off in a wasteland or dangerous forest far way from civilization

light novels go into deeper depths that even manga don't go like death march to a parallel world rhapsody and in another world with my smartphone Satou and Touya are different in the anime, manga and light novel although with more ecchi series the manga most likely just a bit better

I agreed no mercy for most bandits but what worse death or a life of back breaking slave labor especially if the former bandit held in slavery by enslavement magic or collar

throw in a skill that allows you to give your slaves both waifus and bandits skills would also be very handy like one bandit now your carpenter, one a cook, one a guard and so one and so forth

Lol.

I play a druid right now in a dnd campaign and that wildshape ability plus the magic is awesome, so...
I'd be so mad tho, if I came into a generic isekai world, where a harem awaits me. I want to explore the world and write down what kind of creatures I find. I might take a romantic side quest, but I hope for a well-written, interesting setting in first place.

I have been think a lot on this subject and some type of isekai shop that allow me to spend money. Mp, HP, SP or XP for items seem like a good ability to have especially if you can sell as well as if you are trapped in a dungeon selling the cores, drops or meat for item would allow you to keep going until your are out or rescued
