Do you think an average person in 13th century had a better quality of life than an average person living in the 21st century?

In many aspects, yes, they did lead a more fulfilling life.

For one, the fact their work (which took significantly less time) lead to a real, objective difference and benefit in their society. There's also the fact that anyone not enslaved had partial or complete ownership of their lands. Not to be underestimated, as well, is the fact their society wasn't immediately doomed to collapse from worldwide catastrophes.
