Strength.

But who the fuck is choosing defense? You gotta endure those shit to become immune. You mustve been reading the Sandman Slim novels while thinking that one up
I'm the only one who chose it. I don't look at all those polls from the perspective of what is the most op thing. I just like defense, that's all.

I choose health. it is a decent power in a fight, and while It might not make you win, but anything nonlethal becomes inconsequential.
Most importantly it is the one that will elevate my quality of life the most. In a Isekai world with presumably middle ages technology, the immunity to illness will be invaluable.
If I am just a random person who is not expecting to fight monsters or for anyone to have a high investment in killing me, a head wound would be very unlikely. If I don't go looking for a fight, the worst that is likely to happen would be getting beaten up by thugs. Painful yes, but they are not the kind of people with the force to bash in your skull or do a precision strike in your eyes.
Basicazlly, my safty would be relatively garanteed, so I could go along doing whatever I want.
It is also relativly unconspicuoius. With my modern knowlege of biology, I would probably make a pretty good ancient times novice docctor, which would elimiate questions about me being healthy all the time.
Best of all, it will help me live longer. Even if it does not make me downright immortal, it would certainly extend my life expectancy.
Humans don't actually die of old age there is no limit to our lifespan. We just grow weaker, and our body begins to have all kinds of problems. It is then very easy for a small sickness to end our lives, or for some important part of our body to fail.
Since I can regenerate, I don't really have to worry about organ failure, since they will be magically fixed. I am immune to sickness, so what will kill me?
Our cells die, and then more or less, are reborn. But with each rebirth, they slowly but surely get weaker and weaker, and in the process, we age as a result because with each rebirth of a cell, a tiny bit of imperfection is copied over to the new cell. If scientists could figure out how to eliminate that degeneracy of each cell-rebirth, or at least increase the accuracy of each cell copying/rebirth, it would extend the current human lifespan and potentially develop immortality, or at least something similar enough.

There is supposedly already experiments regarding this being done. I personally think that when and if they make a breakthrough, I'm predticting the next boost in a human lifespan will be something like...150 years. So instead of the average mid-70's for the current average human lifespan, it will instead be raised to 120-150...or something like that. My prediction, nothing more. Which probably doesn't sound like much until you realize you could not look like you do in your 20's...until you are almost 60.

Well yes, but it is also the only stat which promises growth. No matter how powerful the natives turn out to be, you have the potential to surpass them. You are your own limit, and whan pushed to the extreme, this ability could be ridiculous.

And to add to this, if a lifespan is boosted to even 120, the lowest end of my prediction, you would basically look like you do when you are 20....but until you are almost 50, and if you have good genes, maybe even longer. Imagine that. You're "Oh wow I'm now 30's" would become instead your "oh wow I'm now 60's" lol

Speed(?) > health/reaction > strength > defense > speed(?)
Stamina is a wild card.

With enough speed you get both offense and defense, the only thing that doesn't make it the objectively best choice is that reaction time isn't included, and that if you tried to run with this on you'd just die by bumping into something, also can you turn it off? if not this is the worst one.

Health and reaction basically allow you to not die as long as you don't look for trouble, these are great for just retiring in some village and settling down.

Strength sounds really good until you realize you ONLY have strength, with this you'd basically have to finish every fight on one hit, but you'll probably won't have the speed to do so.

Defense is just a much worse health, since it apparently only works on certain bodyparts, but even if it didn't, the moment something gets past your defense you're dead.

if you can train your stats stamina is the the best choice though.

Considering I mostly have those kinds of options, I would pick stamina due to being my lowest stat.

No, seriously.

Even if you can punch a mountain, you need the energy to create a powerful blow.

Even if you can run AF, you still get tired out.

Even if you have reaction time, can you dodge fast enough?

Even if your tough as metal, you still consider that you can still wear down like metal as well.

And even if you have health, you still consider yourself not being immortal.

Stamina might not be everyone's pick but its still an overall balance in the world, or even broken depending on how much you want to get strong.

You don't tire out, you don't need sleep. Working out everyday and get the needed energy to train, you still fairly tough enough to at least have enough stats to balance everything out since you might need it in the isekai world.

While you guys pick on the OP mindset, I'll be choosing the OP grindset.

Well I don't have any plans to wrestle with a dragon or become Isekai John Wick, so health it is. If I had to choose between living everyday of my life having to shit and not having to shit, I'd choose the latter.

Also stamina sounds like a nice way to get yourself enslaved and unable to fight back once some unsavory people find out.(on the plus side you can go all night long in more ways than one)

I like how no one but me picked Strength and the reason why I did so is because I pity it.

Reaction. If I don't have to fight, I'll be busy crafting intricate-but-useless shit and selling that for enough money to start an inflation

Bruh I specifically state that your body can handle that shit.

From what you yourself is doing.

Strength and Speed are both reasonable physical aspects of the body and I stated that choosing these stats means that you are immune to the shits they caused.

Except it is by external forces.
So if you run into a wall you go splat
