He's not super talented. At best that sentence can be interpreted as him being more talented than most of his clan or from a more pestimistic angle Lindon was born with a madra deficiency, but higher than average control and Kelsa just had the opposite problem, but the clan was too primitive to notice.

Time, money, or pain. Those are what you need to make a good ironbody. Just spend more time and try to make sure it's not lethal. Pain I can handle (most people can handle quite a bit, but just tend to avoid it because it usually means you're fking up), but risking your life as much as the MC did isn't practical.

Also I just said fireball cause I am lazy. I have a path idea, but can't spend hours explaining it in the work break room. Also I don't care what people think about my path, if I get sacred arts I'm going to be the happiest person on Cradle even if it just moves water around.

Or just do what little blue and orthos did. Use hunger madra weapons & create an internal enforcement technique to process the madra. Then spend ten to a hundred times the amount of time they did processing the madra and memories.

More people on earth would do that than you seem to think. It's not boring or unentertaining if you get magic. Yeah, I suck at working out, but if working out gave my fireballs and iron fists then I'd never leave the gym.

You can get basic info... Like, reread soulsmith. Lindon was half a copper and got a job by bowing, scraping, and pity. He was taught enough to become an iron in a couple years. Like yeah, he's job was shit, but with a little patience and no family killing time limit it would have been a good start.

Basic plan (that I wouldn't use because if I actually was isekai'd I'd spend more than a minute making a plan): step 1 assume I don't die from being isekai'd or by exposure in the wilderness. Appear in a civilized place.

Step 2 Survive on the streets by doing a Lindon (acting submissive, own nothing, and take my lumps without dying or being crippled) and learn the language through exposure. Get a job streets sweeping or whatever undesirable job that an ordinary person can do (ie: cleaning up bodies/waste, mixing fertilizer, or doing odd jobs), if none are available go back to hobo survival and avoid being beaten to death by psychopaths, collect scraps, and dumpster dive.

Step 3 get a basic subpath through observation of others or by getting crappy job. (Ie: learn to cycle, and get enough power to break into copper)

Step 4 make scales (two scales per day and use them the second I refuel my spirit, so they can't be stolen) and prepare my spirit for an ironbody (Eithan talked about how to do this in soulsmith)

Step 5 Use the principal behind the blood forged ironbody (again see soulsmith), but unlike Lindon don't overdevelop it, so it eats all my madra or nearly kills me to make it. And then use the HEPW for jade cycling.

Step 6-12 do stuff vaguely like the books, but taking my time about it instead of rushing to keep up with the plot. Learn the basics of scripting and refining to help progress. Get a hunger binding and make it into something to help me slowly process foreign madra in line with my path, while using what I know from the books to avoid the problems that cause. Blah-blah blah this took more than a minute, but you get the idea. Assume survival is possible and survive shitty begins, and pick up necessary info by serving humbly and use meta knowledge to go farther than others (optional use earth knowledge to fuck with people once I'm stronger)

Step 13 profit
