Sooo Freaking GOOD

Wow another great installation! Oh How i WISH that the translations came out faster. I am anxiously waiting for January!

[Aryan Eimermacher · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another volume, another day. Again a great translation.
Frankly, if you're this far into this series, you're already invested enough to not let a review change your mind.
Sadly, we have to wait another 77 days until the next volume is released.

既然是從市圖預約而來的，所以我也就沒頭沒尾、不按順序看完這本《小書痴的下剋上．第三部．Ⅱ》。由於是輕小說，作者的書寫方式也都是很「親民」的第一人稱視角，所以就算自己中間跳過了許多情節，本書讀來卻也沒什麼太大問題就是了。

1. 必須要為「皇冠出版社」的中譯鼓掌。本書的原書標題在我們中文使用者看來非常詭異︰「愛書的下剋上（本好きの下剋上）」，乃至於我多年前最初注意到這部作品時，都不曉得要如何稱呼比較好。後來皇冠引進小說之後套用了簡單又符合我們習慣的「小書痴」一詞，才讓這部作品的名稱有了合理與好記的中文名。——與此對照，我希望削足適履的爛中文「魔女宅急便」，以後不要再常常出現了……

2. 這本書的特色，真的是著重在「柴米油鹽醬醋茶」。故事進行中，不時都在提醒關注何時要「吃飯」。

3. 孤兒經濟學。這個觀念我以前倒從未想過。在本書所提及的一個小鎮裡，鎮上有四位孤兒。女主角「地雷小姐」以為她在做好事，將鎮上的這些孤兒全數納入自己的福利機構。沒想到這四個孤兒卻是該鎮所投資的「資產」︰男生可以提供農業勞力、女生可以賣給貴族作侍從寵妾。因此她自認的善行，在鎮民共同體看來，反倒成了搶奪人民財產的暴政領主了。

4. 故事進行至此，地雷小姐已經晉升到社會高層的大貴族階級了，雖然沒有像第一部「從零開始的造紙生活」那麼坎坷，但還是有些新的趣味。

[Samantha · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book. Things are still changing for Rozemyne as she adjusts to her new life and responsibilities, and the arc of dealing with her sickness truly starts.

The prologue is so sweet, being from Effa's POV. It's nice to see how life is going for Myne's family and how they try to remain connected to their daughter.

As for the rest of the book, I enjoyed the setup of the problems and then how events unfolded from there. The explanations for the various ways of thinking are done well, and the shift in mindset works well for both Rozemyne and the reader (staying vague for spoilers).

I also enjoyed the Night of Schutzaria bit, both of the before and of Rozemyne working on her quest. I had no idea what it would entail, but I certainly enjoyed what was written.

I still really miss Lutz and Benno as more prominent characters (especially Lutz), but they still manage to appear plenty even if the interactions aren't the same.

The epilogue is from Brigitte's POV, and I really enjoyed it. Not much happens, but it's nice to see what's going on in her mind.

The first bonus story is from Wilfried's POV. I didn't mention this above, but I really enjoyed the way Rozemyne has handed the situation with him. This story is about his POV of the events of that day, and it is a fun read even knowing the outcome.

Then there's the bonus story from Thore. It's nothing special, but it's nice to see their thoughts on their situation and how they're adjusting.

Lastly, the bonus story from Justus. I loved this story so much. As soon as this character was introduced, I wanted to know more about him, and this story jumps back in time to let us see him in action. It's funny in some ways how he's not as great at his job as expected, but when he's never had a reason to venture to that side of society, it's expected. I also really like that it brings back an early moment from the books, and I'm curious if that will ever go anywhere.

I don't have much to say about the bonus comics other than I love the first panel, and the 'Energy' strip is super cute.

Overall, another great book in the series that adds more complexities to Rozemyne's world and challenges her worldview. The humor and character interactions are great, as always. The artwork also continues to be gorgeous. I was not expecting things to go the way they did during this volume, which makes me all the more excited for the next one.

My only complaint is the cast of characters has become so large... I know there's a cheat sheet in the front, but I still sometimes forget who someone is or mix them up with someone else.

Oh, and Hugo... I won't say anything for spoiler reasons, but... I was rooting for him.

With the Harvest Festival coming up, Myne is busier than ever. As High Bishop, she's responsible for handing out the annual blessings---and Ferdinand tacks on some additional collection duties. In addition, her plan to make a new orphanage in Haase has some unexpected complications . . .

I like how these books deal so unflinchingly with the culture shock Myne experiences in this new world. Orphans seem like such a straightforward topic that Myne is baffled by the number of landmines she's triggered just by doing what makes sense to her. Why wouldn't the town (AND the orphans) be happy she's building a new orphanage? But the traditions within the culture aren't what she expected, and that makes the consequences something that she never would have imagined.

It's the details like that which make this feel like a fully realized world of its own. Myne is now stuck with some of the nastier sides of the nobility she's entered into, and her only choice now is to find the least objectionable way to fulfill her new duties.

Like always, though, there are a number of other things all going on at once. The restaurant is opening, the printing presses are advancing, and the season's turning marks the availability of the first of the many ingredients she'll need for a medicine to cure her mana blockage.

Overall this remains a wonderful series, especially if you like deep worldbuilding. There's still plenty of humorous moments, like forcing the utterly spoiled Wilfried to try to live a day in her shoes (the fact that Ferdinand about has a stroke over it is just the cherry on top). I rate this book Highly Recommended.

There is nothing I can say about the writing. As always, the translation is excellent and the writing is completely neat.

My favourite part is when Wilfried and Rozemyne exchange roles. Wilfried as a High Bishop, a foreman and the orphanage director. Rozemyne as... the daughter of an archduke who will then inherit the throne and thus now have to learn how to read, write and play harspiel. Very interesting! Wilfried's unnecessary winning about how fair his life is compared to Rozemyne is kind of annoying, so by doing the exchange roles with him, it is a joy to see Wilfried finally understand. Yes, nothing is more dangerous than a spoiled child.

Actually, all of the chapters are excitingly interesting in their own way. I love Rozemyne even more.

The illustrations are cute and interesting, the story's pace is good, the writing is neat, no mistakes in the translation, the character's developments are unique -- everything's perfect.

[Coral Reeves · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it.

The world building for this story never ceases to amaze me. The detail of every aspect of life in this fantasy world and the fact that the main character understands that she needs to adapt to this world's rules in order to survive makes the setting so much more believable than if she had been made to strong arm change into the people around her. This is such an immersive read.

[Nicholas · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nesse volume a parte 3 finalmente começou ainda que um pouco morna.

Rosemyne agora tem que lidar com a função de nova High Bishop, precisando tomar decisões de situações deixadas pelo seu antecessor, como a relação que possuía com o prefeito da cidade. Myne precisa até ser responsável por decidir se vale apena manter certas pessoas vivas, as queria estavam conectadas e poderiam vazar informações.

Conversa bem interessante de se pontuar é quando Myne fala com Ferdinand, dizendo que o antigo High Bishop seria um vilão por tudo que ele fez. Ferdinand no entanto diz para Myne que ele apenas realizou coisas das quais lhe eram permitidas, tinha a proteção dos órfãos e poderia sim vende-los e utilizar da mana que possuíam, seu crime foi desobedecer o arquiduque e ataca-los após saber da deposição.

Evento do festival de Harvest é o que acaba cansando Rosemyne na sua nova vida, tendo agora que cumprir suas funções como High Bishop, realizar relatórios e atuar nas celebrações religiosas comuns e de eventos especiais, sobrando bem pouco tempo pra que possa ler.

Nesse volume é visto um conflito dentro da família de Sylvestre após a adoção de Myne, diferente do anterior que tudo foi bem pacato. Wilfried, filho de Sylvestre e que seria encarregado de funções que agora cabem a Rosemyne devido a diferença da mana que possuem. Wilfried se incomoda por Myne assumir posições que considera mais simples, receber mais atenção. Myne e outros mostram a ele que apesar de duas reclamações e tendo a idade de Rosemyne ainda assim sequer aprendeu a escrever, sendo que muitos órfãos agora já sabem.

Outros acontecimentos são a abertura dos dormitórios masculino e feminino, que causa certo atrito pelo costume dos órfãos dormirem sempre juntos.
Justos, um novo auxiliar no monastério que deseja saber mais sobre o passado de Myne.
Constatação da morte do antigo High Bishop mas mantida em segredo aos que fora, que pensam que se aposentou.

3.5 🌟 This was not as good as the last LN. we got to see more of Rozemyne be smart but lack common sense (characters have said this about her)


Spoilers:

I'll start by saying I like all the relationships with her family (blood & adopted), attendants, but Ferdinand especially. they are getting closer & I think he needs that. the conversation about him delegating & not abusing potions made me happy & I think he appreciated her noticing & caring about his health. I'm also glad she & Sylvester's wife have been putting Sylvester in his place with his absurd expectations. Reading Wilfried's POV of the switch was good & Ferdinand once again seeing how amazing Rozemyne is compared to most children & even some adults lol


Her being upset to the point of getting no sleep over "plotting the mayor's downfall" all based off of how Ferdinand said it was wild. Initially, she agreed he was a criminal for human trafficking & bribery. Then, when she found out it was just because he disobeyed a nobles orders, she felt guilty? I understand both sides of why she thinks he's bad & why they think he is. just because they aren't the charges you thought doesn't mean he didn't do those things you think are bad. Either way, he's a criminal, but you need to hear Lutz say, "Think about the townspeople you're helping" to want to do anything?


The second thing that was baffling was mid battle she says she's sleepy. I'm thinking it's because she just established her mana was constantly being drained.. no. it was because it was late at night, so she needed a story to keep her up.... that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. it's not like they were just standing there. NO, a humongous feybeast that was taller than the trees was actively trying to attack. your adrenaline should be up with your life in danger & she's talking about its her bedtime. *sigh*

It's nice to be back to Honzuki! This series is consistently entertaining, well-written, and full of fantastic world building, character development, and humor. I really enjoyed getting to know Wilfried better in this book and seeing all of his antics and Myne's interventions in his education. I'm so glad that she discovered it because things could have gotten very bad for him if he debuted into noble society without a proper education. It's scary that he was so coddled and almost ruined. The side story from his perspective at the end was quite informative and fun.

There was also some sad but interesting backstory for Ferdinand that helped me understand some of his actions and thought process better. Speaking of which, this volume did an excellent job with the world building, as previously mentioned. This volume really solidified that fact that Myne's common sense from modern day Japan is NOT common sense here, and getting used to the new values and ethics is not easy for her. In addition, her common sense/knowledge from being a soldier's daughter, working with merchants, and then being an apprentice priestess does not combine well, much to everyone's chagrin. Seeing her deal with that through the town of Hasse was very interesting for me, if difficult to accept at times. I'm curious to see what her character will be like by the end of this arc, let alone the series.

Overall, this was an excellent volume! 4.5 stars.

The ninth volume in this series which follows a girl (now) named Rozemyne, originally a bookworm living in Japan who wakes up in a fantasy world as a sickly child where there are seemingly NO books!

I grabbed this because I needed some lighter fare post-election, but the book was pretty satisfying, also. Rozemyne positively influences everyone around her, using the power and connections she has to protect people. This volume did a good job showing how power can be misused even unintentionally, when the wielder isn’t fully informed of the political situations into which she’s inserting herself. Still, Rozemyne per usual finds a path forward by talking to her knowledgeable friends, and also has more success trying to get her closest family members and friends to openly communicate about workloads, expectations that go along with succession and how to address a spoiled-ass child due to inherit…

At the end of the day, though, the happiest part of the book is when she gets one hour of uninterrupted reading, 😂 I obviously identify with the protagonist, but am grateful that we keep getting to see more of how magic works in this world, as well as how politics affects everyone’s lives. Excited to read more.

[Kyrie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Myne's life is getting more complicated as she's learning to be High Bishop, a noble, and trying to understand the culture of the world where she's ended up.

What seems obviously right or wrong to her point of view (from modern Japan) is challenged by Ferdinand who only thinks from the noble's perspective. While not agreeing totally, Myne can see where things might make a different sense.

Ferdinand is starting to have some darker sides, which makes him both more interesting as a character, and scarier. (I'm concerned about his supposed lack of desire to be in power.)

Wilfried is a brat, but between Myne and Ferdinand, he might be redeemed. It's interesting to see how Sylvester's upbringing makes him too lenient on his oldest child.

I especially liked the short stories at the end, giving looks into minor characters, a bit of past history, and hints to the future.

[DayDreamer8912 · Rating 4 out of 5]

As a High Bishop she had lots to do. She needs to do her duty, her workshop and even help out her adopted brother with coming out a learning strategy for him to be interested in studies and also she still have lots to learn about being noble and also there is that she needs to settle with Hasse's mayor who is totally horrible and she wanted to save all the orphans there. And the funniest is when her adoptive brother Wilfred thinks that she is just slacking and then both of them switch places for a day and she wish that she could switch with him all day since she had more free time to just sit and read. Haha... oh this girl can't stop putting her nose into books. Well, can't blame because I do the same too. hehe..

Can't spoil too much you will have to read it to find out what happens. Can't wait to read the next book.

Myne finally begins expanding her paper manufacturing operations to other regions, but inadvertently ends up stepping on the toes of the local ruler—simply due to her lack of knowledge about regional customs. As a result, she is disrespected by the children she intended to adopt and receives a well-deserved scolding from her staff because of it.

The High Priest also assigns her the task of bringing down the town’s mayor, who was already doomed from the start. Even so, it proves to be an excellent opportunity for Myne to learn firsthand how nobles typically operate. She also gets the chance to create her own feybeast, which turns out to be quite unusual, and to gather ingredients for a potion that can help mitigate the side effects of the Devouring.

Overall, this is yet another very enjoyable book. The author is an absolute powerhouse of creativity.

[Angel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Like all the others I am always ending wanting more. I already preordered the next book.
This one i think was a bit slower in the beginning than some of the others but once you start getting into her interactions with her new brother it picked up quick. I really enjoyed seeing Myne stand up for herself to her sibling, and how she takes full advantage of Ferdinand's evil villain persona lol. More bonding with her lady knight which I would love to see more of and of course my favorite's Benno and Mark were in there too(best boys)
I did miss Karstedt and his great dad energy but it was made up for by having OG adorable dad Gunther <3
Had some interesting action at the end. Definitely interesting learning more about the magic, economy and feybeasts of this world.

Estoy devorando los libros sin compasión y ya descuide unos proyectos por esto, sin embargo los estoy disfrutando sobremanera.

Me encanta el ritmo de la historia y que el gran malvado en cada una sea sólo el malentendido, las diferencias de estatus, la inexperiencia. No hay grandes malvados e incluso las acciones que uno consideraría deleznables tienen un fondo y se nos hace ver continuamente que la moral la dicta el entorno y que estamos jugando con otras reglas.

Nos estamos adentrando también al mundo noble y ahora jugamos en 3 estratos en donde Myne se mueve h se esfuerza. Presentan nuevos personajes y el mundo comienza a ampliarse. Ya no solo es lo que hay dentro de las murallas sino que el mapa comienza a incluir ducados.

[Brent · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was definitely a volume devoted to setting up events that will happen in later volumes, although it was still an enjoyable read and it continues the slow steady progress of the volumes before. Myne continues to be challenged in regard to the differences between her Earth values and the values in Ehrenfest and learns that she may have to make some uncomfortable choices to keep chasing after her book-filled dreams. She also challenges both her adopted brother and Ferdinand bring some change into their lives.

Baca buku ini rasanya jadi ikutan sibuk. Gimana nggak, Myne sekarang punya banyak banget tugas, baik di kerajaan maupun di Temple. Ditambah berbagai project yang sudah berjalan sejak beberapa volume sebelumnya. Rasanya sangat hectic dan setiap hari isinya cuma Kerja! Kerja! Kerja!

Dari sisi alur, selain hal - hal "biasa", seperti bikin restoran, panti asuhan di Hasse dan beberapa Perayaan, ada tugas untuk mengambil suatu buah ( atau itu tumbuhan.. ? ) Yang hanya bisa diambil di saat - saat khusus. A nice change of pace karena pada saat bagian ini, ada sedikit pertarungan dan style nya beda dari biasanya. Tapi kalo dilihat dari keseluruhan alur, sebenarnya volume ini ga menyumbang banyak.

[ELs · Rating 2 out of 5]

For all that she is a book worm,there is little that she is applying from the books she's reading to her real world. Has she been only reading the bible in her spare time? I'm beyond ready for a decent story arc besides looking for ingredients for her Devouring, expanding her printing business and dealing with the roles of being an archduke's daughter, a merchant and a high bishop all at the same time. It just feels too easy and abrupt for a girl who went into deep depression missing her family and living with practical strangers to being so competent and poised.

Angst! Angst! Angst

Rozemyne is at it again. Turning the world she was reborn into on its ear when she doesn't even realize it. I can hardly wait to see the repercussions of her latest antics as the High Bishop.

I don't want to go into many details and put in spoiler tags, but this one has some fun, fun moments. Especially with her recently adopted-into family -- I expect that to be one of the craziest amount of changes to hit and how that will affect the world around them.

Verdict -- if you're not reading Ascendance then get with the program! Go get it NOW!

3.5 stars

As Myne adjusts to our new life we get a crash course in the politics of the realm. It was a little too repetitive to fully work for me and the serious notes didn't work as well. Myne's obliviousness is fine and cute and all but the adults around her, especially Ferdinand, make so many assumptions instead of talking that I do wonder if they have ever dealt with kids. Most of it is amusing but it got a little much here.

Favourite part was how Myne dealt with her new brother. I am interested to see more of the family dynamics and less of Hesse - thank you!

[Helena · Rating 4 out of 5]

I still have to read the side stories. Unfortunately, past Wilfried discussions I wasn't that invested in the story, I kind of disliked how Rozemyne handled the situation in a way and that sometimes the tone was less serious than I would have liked relating this and also the Hasse case. Although I'm really happy that there has been more focus on Brigitte. I also enjoyed reading about the ruelle gathering.

[Emme · Rating 5 out of 5]

I would recommend this book to people passionate about reading. The artstyle is really cute and in the epilogue, there are usually short comics about what has happened in the story. Also in the epilogue, the readers get to see how other characters experience Rozemyne's decisions throughout the text. I find myself immersed in the text because I have laughed quite a few times at the funny situations.

Now the adopted daughter of the arch duke and the high bishop, Myne has even more responsibility in her new position in the church than she did before on top of her jobs as the orphanage director and the Manager of the Myne Workshop. She must also adjust to her new position in Nobel society. With a mindset steeped in her other life in modern Japan and her new life in the lower city and then the church, she constantly misunderstands Nobel customs and language.

Miya Kazuki is a great writer. She presents various realistic problems that Myne faces in her world and then provides a believable, educational and inspiring solution to those problems. This book is just as interesting as the previous one in the series. The author is consistently writing interesting and fascinating tales

These books are clean enough for any age. Adult situations are alluded to, but not described.

Rozemyne officially started her duties as High Bishop and prepared to get the ingredients for the jureve potion. With Ferdinand and Rihyarda’s support she successfully convince the archduke he shouldn’t spoil his son, and also teach her adopted brother Wilfried he should start studying for his own good. I particularly liked the extra chapters, and the part with Rozemyne scolding the High Priest for overworking himself and the archduke for not understanding the Temple is short staffed.

[DW Rowlands · Rating 4 out of 5]

While I'm continuing to enjoy reading the series, I admit that I didn't like this one as some of the earlier ones, but it's hard to put into words why. I think it just felt like it dragged out a bit slower than the others. We'll see if I continue to feel that way with the next one. I admit, though, that one of the things that annoyed me was probably the emphasis on needing to gender-segregate things, even if it probably does make sense in the society they're dealing with...

Esta nueva entrega sube bastante el nivel de la anterior. La trama de la jureve me está gustando mucho y promete dar mucho de sí, hasta el momento es mi trama favorita de la serie.
Soy una gran defensora del personaje de Wilfred, me da muchísima pena el niño y espero que crezca mucho como personaje en el futuro.
Los extras de este libro también aportan mucho a mi parecer, me encanta leerlos en todos los libros, pero en este no me parecieron nada anecdóticos.
