I started reading the Ascendance of a Bookworm light novel series on June 12th, and as of 10 minutes ago, I am caught up to the latest Pre-Pub part on J-novel club. This series hasn't just had me by the throat, I've been fucking POSSESSED by it for a month and a half. I'm genuinely glad to be caught up so that I can get my life back in order. Here's looking forward to one part per week until we reach the end!

Myne:

[kirselica]

Ascendence of a bookworm is great and all but it has too many "7year old child, I need to discuss something alone with you in this room nobody else can enter"-moments for me

[alice-jem]

What if Main (Myne) Got her appearance with these characters which makes some sort of slight resemblance that reminds me of them

Bonus:

[gpedia]

Sure why not.

Three Ships: I've never seen the point in shipping, sorry.

First Ever Ship: See above.

Last Song: Crystal by Fleetwood Mac

Last Movie: I don't watch movies very often at all. I think it was Matrix?

Currently Reading: Time to Orbit: Unknown by @derinthescarletpescatarian, Honzuki no Gekokujō: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan o Erandeiraremasen by Hazuki Miya, and some 200-odd assorted webcomics, webtoons, and manga.

Currently Watching: Several Hermitcraft members, Pocket83, Blacktail Studio, Kurrazah's Vintage Story Guide Season 2, assorted woodworkers, Peter Brown, several anime series, and more.

Currently Consuming: it's bedtime for me, I'm not manging in bed come on.

Currently Craving: financial freedom.

Tagging:

@derinthescarletpescatarian @deathsmallcaps @idiottimes @krakenartificer @amaros-system @fabricfriendo @just-another-apple-thief and I guess that's all?

Tag Game

@nachtwaechterin I'm moving this into a new post bc. it's so long.

3 Ships: uhhhh I don't really ship tbh. I think the only fandom I ever specifically sought out ship content for was Adventure Zone, with Blupjeans and Taakitz. Uhhhh 3rd ship i guess Magnus and Julia Burnsides as well? they were also good to see, though that was usually more "it's really cool to see Julia in fanfics"

First Ever Ship: man idfk. I don't remember my childhood that well anyways and ships have never been important for me.

Last Song: I'mma be honest the last music I was listening to was a compilation of all the minecraft music discs bc I wanted some good background ambient sound and the music discs are good, they're good music

Last Movie: I think it's been ages since I last watched a movie, tbh. Might actually have been Totoro, because I found a free download of it or smth (it's on my computer, I don't remember where exactly I found it to get it there)

Currently Reading: TTOU by Derin, it's very good you all should read it. I'm not fully caught up so any emotional turmoil you face from reading it is Derin's fault, not mine.

Currently Watching: Kitboga fucking with scammers. idk I'm bored lol

Currently Consuming: just finished eating some korean bbq beef with stir fry veggies on a bed of rice, it was delicious.

Currently Craving: some good hot chocolate, I should make some

tagging uhhhhh @plumadesatada @nidoskull @being-mean-system @elenna1243 @gpedia fuck man 9 people is a lot @plantpart3206 @starsweeperskies uhhhh and whoever else wants to do it XD no pressure on doing the tag game, but hey why not

Light Novel Review: ‘Ascendance of a Bookworm’ #4

Myne’s constant questioning and flagrant ignorance of the established order of things is going to ruin somebody’s day -- maybe, in the end, everyone’s.

Myne's quest to produce paper, to fund a workshop for constructing books, to raise the community's literacy, and so mu h more, appear only in the distance. Thankfully, this blue-haired dynamo is full of surprises. ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM #4 invests much of its energy in cultivating the relationship between Myne and the High Priest. This alliance feels obligatory for much of the novel but soon proves necessary, as the girl abruptly and expertly conjures a plan that will see her purse fill whereupon the children of the temple's orphanage are provided training at the hands of her workshop and personal attendants. The novel series' pivot to a location of religious or spiritual importance may prove uninteresting for some readers, but the author is clearly having fun with the turn of events. From the outlandish and idiotic liturgy to the nonsensical and mixed-up history-of-the-gods, the "temple" is many things to many people: a treasure chest for bored old men, a hole in the wall to toss away disposable children, a rest stop for ignoble nobles, and so forth. Myne's constant questioning and flagrant ignorance of the established order of things is going to ruin somebody's day -- maybe, in the end, everyone's. It's also fun to see the author has maintained the blunt and straightforward writing style from earlier in the series. While ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM #4 unfolds in a very day-to-day and moment-to-moment, matter-of-fact manner, there remain bits and pieces of resolute charm. For example, when Myne becomes lightheaded after skipping lunch (to read a book), she's made to lie down on a bench to rest. After a while, the girl tries sitting up but realizes, hilariously, "since I couldn't move my body very well, I rolled right off the entire bench" (p. 90). Whoops. And when the girl delays furnishing her room at the temple in favor food and bookkeeping, she things everything is going swell until she grows weary: "Considering how often I collapsed, it would probably be smart to get a mattress at some point" (p. 201). This volume adds a heaping of secondary characters, each reticent to help the protagonist in her quest but later acquiescing to her drive and ambition. And while there are plenty of detours on Myne's apparent path toward librarian-based excellence, there is surely little harm in feeding the poor, attempting to enrich her spirituality, and adding a few new inventions to this not-so-modern world.

I saw this meme and I immediately thought of that one scene where Rozemyne smacked Wilfred.

Hello hello, Don’t fear, I am here!

Theme: Baptism

Anime: Ascendance of a Bookworm

Mood while drawing this: pastelllsssss

So I would like to mention the reason for my absence and lack of posting last week

Besides the usual being sick a again (insert eye roll here),

I’ve been busy working on an illustration for a hanako-kun fanzine!

Wootwoot

If anyone is interested, I will be posting more information as we go. So far the deadline for final art is the 30th of May!

Now onto this art piece

I really wanted to make something for one of my favourite anime of last year (new anime to be precise). I was extremely glad to hear it would get a 2nd season!

Anyway I thought I would make some flower themed works for spring/summer
