I'd also recommend the Destiny's Crucible series - the basic premise is that a chemist from our world is transported to another planet of humans at a much lower technological level, and some moderately standard isekai hijinks ensue.

I read five of the books, and really enjoyed them; if you like the "competence porn" genre of novels, this is a pretty good one.

> "competence porn"

See... now, I love that type of show/comic/book/etc. And now that I have a name for it, I want to search for more. But I very much do _not_ want to search for that term. Lol

I think a similar genre is "humanity fuck yeah" - HFY - so you can search for that as well.
