So, I thought I would be a little more focused on what I want to Find, compared to my other threads. The idea itself seems to be out there, but I seem to be running dry.

Essentially, what I am looking for, is stories that focus on the concept of the Protagonist or Group, being thrown into an Environment, where either their knowledge of the Future (such as them bringing technology [or the idea of] into the Past), and/or advanced concepts in less developed society (such as being transported/reincarnated into another, less developed world) Gives them a chance to positively influence the development of that environment.

I don't really care if it is some form of Time Travel/World Hop, such as Jin, Chihou Kishi Hans no Junan or Nobunaga no Chef, or a Reincarnation type thing, like Isekai Tensei Soudouki. Tenseishichatta yo (Iya, Gomen) or Koushaku Reijou no Tashinami.

PREFERABLY I am looking for things that deal more with the Social-Political side of things, like the above mentioned one. Thus, I would prefer not to have stories more heavily combat focused, such as Sengoku Strays (from what I've seen so far). Though if the stories are fleshed out enough, I might as well give them a shot.

"Mixed" Styles, like Gate - Jietai Kare no Chi nite, Kaku Tatakeri or Re:Monster which have both a Social-Political story focus, as well as more traditional "Action Genre" aspects are fine as well.

I've read (or am watching) quite a few so far, but feel free to list any that you find, and I'll see if its not one I am already watching.

As a Last thing, If possible, Manga/Webcomic/Manhwa (etc etc). I Won't read any light novels. Although if you have one that is likely to be adapted, feel free to share and I'll watch it.

Koshaku Reijo no Tashinami (Novel) - it looks like a shoujo (and it is) but the protagonist focuses a lot on using modern social and political systems to improve the feudal system of the world she was "transported" to.

Yep, both of those are a good examples of what I am looking for (though I've already found them). Yaoshenji is more of a "hybrid" like re:monster, but it is still a good example

E? Heibon Desu yo?? seems to fit what you're looking for.

Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken is a hybrid one but it's pretty good, go for the novel for more content Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (Novel)

Knights & Magic (Novel) is also another one, though you'll need to reach volume 2 until the MC truly influenced the development of the world.

Ya, E? Heibon Desu yo?? and Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken are what I am looking for, though sadly, I've already found those (See my problem now? Bwahahaha)

Knights & Magic (Novel) I've NOT seen however. I'll have to watch it and see if they decide to adapt it.

Said, screw it, and just read Knights & Magic (Novel). Have to say, the translation was pretty good (my biggest pet-peeve and turn-off of LNs is the large chunk of them that simply have horrible translations)
Its a good example of what I am looking for. Anyone have anything else?
