Really thought this would be some not-so-subtle bait from the OP but maybe not. In any case, if it's nature you're fucked. It likely is too, nurture does not turn you dumb unless it's literal brain damage from getting whacked on the head or severely lacking diets when growing up. If it wasn't nature he'd at the very least be open to change, if not have started on that path on his own long ago.

That said, can't know until you tried it. Start him off with fiction, the easy stuff. For the love of God don't start him off with the fucking mandatory school reading literature or you'll put him off books forever, as they do to many children.

You shouldn't worry about the books themselves as much as his engagement to reading them. It's better he read Harry Potter with fervour than Moby Dick hating every second of it. You're supposed to get him started, he'll have to do the rest himself.

Why didn't Voldemort just use magic to steal a nuke and blow up Hogwarts? The protagonists' power level wasn't high enough to defend against that so it would've been a easy win.

I kinda want to write an isekai because I keep seeing them in my animes and I hate how an idea with a lot of potential is wasted.
>very natural introduction to the world for the reader (after all the main character himself is as ignorant as the reader about it)
>very good opportunity to juxtapose modern ideas and morals to those of the past
>very good opportunity to theorycraft what human society could have looked like in a different reality
Instead all we get in isekai usually is KYAAAA ONIICHAN DONT LOOK AT MY SHIMAPAN

Should I do it?
