本好きの下剋上 ～司書になるためには手段を選んでいられません～ [Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho Ni Naru Tame Ni Shudan wo Erande iraremasen] (Novel) #14
Ascendance of a Bookworm (Light Novel), Part 4 Volume 2
In her determination to access the library as soon as possible, Rozemyne put her absolute all into her studies from the moment she arrived at the Royal Academy. Unfortunately for her, she behaved so unusually in the process that her retainers and professors have grown increasingly worried.
Rozemyne finally clashes with the greater duchy Dunkelfelger over Schwartz and Weiss, and a game of treasure-stealing ditter is arranged between the two duchies’ apprentice knights. To make matters worse, she completely ignores proper diplomacy, accepting furtive consultations from the archduke candidates of other duchies and even giving the prince himself romantic advice! Her complete lack of foresight leaves the leaders of Ehrenfest in constant cranial agony.

“I couldn’t calm down when I had a book in my possession that I hadn’t yet read.”

I keep saying this, but this is another great addition to the series. I'm loving Rozemyne's time in the Royal Academy so much!
The prologue is in Solange's POV. This is almost more of bonus content than anything else, as it gives some insights into the library and Solange, but nothing too exciting happens here.
As for the rest of this book, Rozemyne really thought she could spend the rest of her time at the academy reading uninterrupted, but various problems arise. I really enjoyed how the conflict with Schwartz and Weiss was handled, as there's so much complexity there I didn't give much thought or know, just like Rozemyne.
I love how Rozemyne's goal was to mostly stay under the radar, yet she gets involved with some of the biggest players. It just makes things so much more fun and interesting.
Also, I personally thought Rozemyne handled things rather well this volume and the last, but then that one chapter towards the end... It had me simultaneously laughing and going 'good point.'
The epilogue is from Benno's POV. It's hard to get into it without spoilers, as it's his thoughts on the prior chapter plus him helping Lutz work through things. It was a nice way to turn some of the sadness into a bit of hope, though.
Bonus stories. The first one is from Anastasius' POV, and I loved it. He's one of the most interesting characters to me, and I want to root for him, but I'm still not sure what that means in the grand scheme. Anyways, I absolutely love seeing this moment. It makes me wonder how nobles ever get their true feelings across. :P
The next story is from Leonore's POV. It covers some of what life is like when Rozemyne isn't around for him to serve, as well as him going about implementing some of the things he learned throughout the course of this book.
I enjoyed all the bonus comics at the end, though I don't have much to say on them.
Overall, I was not expecting the story to go in the direction it has, but I'm absolutely loving it. Rozemyne can't help but stand out wherever she goes, which leads to a lot of complications, but also a lot of fun interactions. I'm absolutely loving the prince character, and I'm eager to see where things go.

may have stayed up too late reading this - but it was worth it! Work can wait.
I enjoyed the fall out from the reading rampage from the previous book. Some really fun moments. I am now excited by the next volume which should have some new upsets and Myne stepping on toes!

Enjoyable sarcastic MC
Myne is growing up to be more and more sarcastic and comfortable since she woke up from her coma. She still has a lot to learn about the world but she’s still has a better grip on it than everyone around her. Still not please with the big pot hole that everyone operates their lives on status quo, and the whole importance of nobles even with heavy dwindling numbers. Historically doesn’t make sense but this is a slice of life.

El Ascenso Del Ratón De Biblioteca
Volumen 14
❤️📖❤️
Arco 4
La Autoproclamada Bibliotecaria De La Real Academia 2
📖❤️📖
¡¡ Fascinante !!
❤️✨❤️
Con el Volumen 14 continua esta increible aventura
Realmente todo es precioso, y me mantiene atrapada y encantada de inicio a fin
Los personajes hermosos y de lo más variopintos 🤭, una trama cuyo ritmo no decae, aprendizajes nuevos, un juego muy interesante, descripciones precisas, narrativa preciosa, herramientas mágicas y más emociones y sentimientos
Esta Ratona tan inocente, tan ella 😅, eso si siempre esforzándose en pos de los libros y causando un montón de dolores de cabeza a su paso
En su empeño por acceder a la biblioteca lo antes posible, Rozemyne puso todo su empeño en sus estudios y en los del resto, desde que llegó a la Real Academia
Por desgracia para ella, se comportó de forma tan inusual en el proceso que sus asistentes y profesores se han ido preocupando cada vez más...
Además Rozemyne se enfrenta al ducado mayor de Dunkelfelger por Schwartz y Weiss, y se organiza un juego de robo de tesoros entre los caballeros aprendices de ambos ducados
Para complicar las cosas, ignora por completo la diplomacia adecuada, aceptando consultas furtivas de los candidatos a archiduques de otros ducados e incluso dando consejos románticos al propio príncipe...
Su inocencia, despiste y total falta de previsión deja a los líderes de Ehrenfest en constante agonía para su salud mental...
Más como es de esperar, Rozemyne hará cualquier cosa por la biblioteca
¿ Qué hará la Ratona en esta ocasión... ?
😍📚😍
La de lios en los que termino la Ratona...
Como todo su mundo gira entorno a los libros termina ignorando todo lo demás...
Es claro que cuando se propone a proteger algo lo hace con todo, sin dudar o retroceder
Demostró a los demás que lo que lees puede ser realmente útil, y su ingenio a la hora de crear estrategias y planes es enorme y un tanto loco 😅
Mostró también que ella aprecia y valora a las personas por lo que son y no por estatus ( algo que ya quedaba claro pero se reafirma más y más )
También me parece bello como respeta el esfuerzo que hacen aquellos en quienes confia por alcanzar sus metas, detestando cuando alguien lo desprecia dicho esfuerzo o no se esfuerza en nada
Es demasiado honesta y directa para la cordura de cualquiera 😅
Pero su ingenio y paciencia fue evidente, así como su voluntad para seguir mejorando y evitar causar problemas a otros
Su meta es ser bibliotecaria y esta dispuesta a lograrlo
Más también es notable su miedo a todos los cambios, lo mucho que extraña a quienes quiere y el enorme esfuerzo que hace en cada paso

😍📚😍
Rozemyne estuvo muuuy emocionada por entrar en la biblioteca de la Academia
Desea fervientemente crear el " Comité de la Biblioteca " y trabajar ahí
Pero su comportamiento no fue el digno de una candidata a archiduque, asi que se gano una reprimenda de Rihyarda...
Como maestra de Schwartz y Weiss, tuvo que sacarlos de la biblioteca y llevarlos al dormitorio de Ehrenfest, para tomarles las medidas para su nueva ropa
Descubriendo que la ropa esta de tela y hilos teñido de maná y círculos mágicos...
Pero sabe que con la ayuda de Ferdinand podrá crear la ropa y lo necesario para los shumill
Sin embargo termina en una dispuesta cuando iba a devolver los shumill a la biblioteca, eso por un candidato a archiduque de otro ducado, que lideraba un escuadrón de estudiantes, pues creía que Ehrenfest se estaba robando tales herramientas...
No muchos estan contentos con que un alumno de Ehrenfest sea el maestro de las herramientas mágicas de la realeza
Asi que para elegir a un maestro " digno " de los shumill la Ratona termina envuelta en el juego de ditter para robar tesoros...
Ella está dispuesta a ceder a los shumill, pero solo a alguien con mucho maná que ame mucho los libros
El juego sorprendentemente Ehrenfest, lo termina ganando, aunque la manera en que se hicieron con la victoria fue muy poco ortodoxa, gracias a Rosemyne...
De alguna manera acaba haciéndose amiga de una candidata a archiduque, de un ducado mayor e incluso del propio príncipe, a pesar de sus esfuerzos por evitarlo ( bueno... evitar a la realeza no es facil... )
Pero como causa muchos alborotos ( y ni siquiera es consiente ), recibe la orden de regresar al ducado rápidamente...
Que si bien sabía que debía hacerlo pues tiene obligaciones como Suma Obispa, no está feliz de que le quiten su tiempo de lectura...
La razón principal por la que deja la Academia, es para que no siga causando o metiendose en lios... 😅
Cuando vuelve al castillo recibe muchos sermones, aunque está muy feliz de regresar al templo 🤭
Más los cambios y tendencias que empiezan a tomar fuerza, harán que pronto se de una gran afluencia de negocios con otros ducados...
Desgraciadamente los contratos mágicos que la unen a la Ciudad Baja se interponen en el camino...
😍📚😍
Más personajes 🤭
Aunque hay más profesores estos para mi son los más importantes ( añadiré más si aparecen... )
Hirschur
Archinoble Soberano y es la supervisora del dormitorio de Ehrenfest
Si bien es capaz de actuar como se espera a su posición, lo cierto es que prefiere ser directa en lugar de usar todos eufemismos nobles
Es un tanto intimidante y frustrante, ya que dedica todo su tiempo a investigar en lugar de ocuparse de sus alumnos
Es una científica loca peor que Ferdinand ( y eso que él tienen varias actitudes iguales a ella... )
Solange
Mednoble, profesora y bibliotecaria
Es la única persona que trabaja en la Biblioteca de la Real Academia
Es muy protectora con la biblioteca, cálida y muy amigable con los estudiantes, pero mayormente con los que aman los libros
Se siente muy agradecida de que Rosemyne haya despertando a Schwartz y Weiss
***
Estas dos me cae muy mal y se que las detestare
( No tengo pruebas pero tampoco dudas... )
Fraularm
Archinoble y supervisora de Ahrensbach
Profesora de Historia, Sociología, Creación de Bestias Altas y Compresión de Maná
Es orgullosa, irritable y reacia al cambio
Detesta cuando algo no sale como quiere
Es sumamente resentida, tanto que hasta el momento a propagado un montón de rumores con el fin sabotear a Rozemyne y Ehrenfest
Eso desde que se desmayó por la impresión al ver a la bestia alta de la Ratona
( Seguro seguirá chingado 🙄 )
Detlinde
Candidata a Archiduquesa de Ahrensbach, hija Georgine y desgraciadamente sobrina de Sylvester
Está acostumbrada a conseguir lo que quiere
Asi que es cruel, narcisista y egocéntrica, se cree que centro del mundo
Hace exigencias irrazonables para conseguir lo que desea, ignorando por completo el ambiente y a las personas que la rodean
Una hipocrita muy afectuosa con quienes le agradan y desdeñosa con quienes considera inferiores
( Salió a la abuela Verónica, la muy Hija de su Fruta Madre )
Estas dos me caen remal y no tengo dudas de que van a joder muchísimo las muy desgraciadas
( Ojalá en su momento el karma les de muy fuerte )
***
Me gusta mucho como la relación de la Ratona y sus nuevos asistentes se va haciendo más fuerte
Ellos siempre tratan de protegerla, aconsejarla y guiarla cuando lo necesitan
Es también muy hermoso como la Ratona se gana su respeto y los inspira a esforzarse y ser la mejor versión de si mismo, además ella los aprecia por lo que hacen y su manera de ser, no por su estatus o cantidad de maná
🥹
Si soy honesta me dan un poco de penita
Los sustos que se llevan esas pobres almas con la Ratona, no son pocos
🤣🤣🤣🤣
***
Algo que me enterneció y conmovió muchísimo
Es la relación tan fraternal entre Rozemyne y Cornelius
Él siempre la está protegiendo y regañandola cuando toca 🤭
Son muy lindos
***
Ver a Benno siempre tratando de proteger y ayudar a la Ratona incluso en la distancia, es hermoso y conmovedor
Él entiende que ella carga demasiado y que perder el poco contacto con quienes ama la rompería
Por eso aunque sea agobiante siempre la apoya
🥹🥹🥹😭

" La Real Academia "
Está ubicada en la Soberanía, es decir la zona central del país
En la antigüedad la Academia, era conocida como la Tierra Santa de Yurgenschmidt
Cada invierno, al cumplir los 10 años los hijos de los nobles de todo Yurgenschmidt viajan a la Real Academia, ya que el único centro educativo para los alumnos de la nobleza
También es la sede del Torneo de Interducados Anual y la Conferencia de Archiduques
Solo se puede viajar a la Real Academia a través de círculos de teletransportación
**
El funcionamiento continuo de la Academia se financia en parte con fondos de la propia Soberanía y en parte con fondos de los ducados
A pesar de las diferentes cantidades de dinero que aportan los ducados, la educación sigue siendo la misma para todos los estudiantes, independientemente de su lugar de origen
( Claro siempre hay inconformidades... )
Salvo aquellos que son enviados a un templo para convertirse en sacerdotes o sacerdotisas, todos los nobles asisten a la Real Academia
Pueden haber excepciones para permitir la asistencia de nobles de mayor edad, pero solo si existen circunstancias atenuantes o graves que les impidan asistir en el momento adecuado, pero eso no es bien vistas en la Sociedad Noble
Durante las clases, los profesores siempre gozan de un trato superior sin importar el estatus de los estudiantes
**
La formación académica regular dura 6 años
Enseñan magia, historia, etiqueta, teología, matemáticas, escritura, etc...
Los alumnos utilizan una capa del color que representa de su Ducado y un Broche
( No hay un uniforme propiamente dicho, pero el negro y blanco están presentes en los atuendos )
Los primeros dos años consisten en cursos comunes para todos los nobles
Del tercero a sexto año se dividen en cursos especializados o carreras
• Curso de Caballeros
• Curso de Asistentes
• Curso de Erudición
• Curso de Candidatos a Archiduques
Para graduarse, se debe completar satisfactoriamente uno de los cursos
Aunque es poco común, los estudiantes pueden cursar más de uno voluntariamente si así lo desean
Cada estudiante puede elegir su curso a voluntad
La única excepción son los hijos de los Archiduques, incluidos los adoptados...
Para ellos, el Curso de Candidatos a Archiduques ( donde aprenden lo necesario para gobernar el ducado correspondiente ), es obligatorio, incluso si no tienen intención de competir por el puesto
*
Solo las personas que obtienen un schtappe y se gradúan de la Real Academia son reconocidas como nobles de pleno derecho
*
Al finalizar el último año, se celebra una Ceremonia de Graduación que coincide con la Ceremonia de Mayoría de Edad
Es un evento muy formal e importante, en ella se elige a los alumnos más resaltantes demuestran su talento en danzas acrobáticas, de espadas o otros
Siendo lo más importante el
" Giro de Dedicación "
Es una danza muy especial y hermosa, y el ser elegido para ella se considera un gran honor
😍📚😍
Rozemyne consiguió crear un paso más a su Método de Compresión
Antes tenia 3 pasos, ahora tiene 4...
😅😅😅
Sin duda su maná seguirá creciendo muchísimo más
📖
Sobre Schwartz y Weiss
Fueron creados por una princesa antigua, por ello se refieren a su amo o maestro como " Mylady ", si importar el género de este
Tienen muchísimas piedras y hechizos protectores, más no tiene género definido
No tienen conciencia propia pero pueden almacenar conocimientos y hablar perfectamente con los demás ( aunque sus diálogos son muy cortos y precisos )
Solo su actual maestro y aquellos autorizados expresamente por él, pueden tocarlos libremente
Para dar el permiso, su maestro solo debe decirlo en voz alta para que ellos puedan escucharlos
Una vez que alguien recibe permiso para tocarlos, esa persona quedará exenta de cualquier protección y, por lo tanto, podria robarlos o dañarlos a su antojo
Por ello solo se les debe permitir tocarlos a aquellos que son de confianza total
Cualquier no autorizado al tocarlos, sentira un hormigueo que aumenta de intensidad a cada instante y es muy doloroso, también pueden ser repelidos con dureza
Tiene hechizos defensivos, estos reaccionan a las intenciones del agresor, siendo leves con quienes actúan con buenas intenciones o mera curiosidad, mientras son peligrosos y fuertes con quienes tienen malas intenciones o poseen mucha malicia
*
Ellos etectan al instante a cualquier persona que entre en la biblioteca y pueden reconocer si se trata de su amo, un amo secundario, alguien autorizado a entrar o un intruso ( incluso sin tenerlos a la vista )
Si detectan intrusos malos, son capaces de perseguirlps y acabarlos...
( Protegen fuertemente a su maestro si es necesarios )
*
Hace años que nadie había logrado despertarlos por la enorme cantidad de maná que necesitan, ademas tampoco se han creado más como ellos, ya que la técnica de creación se perdió hace mucho...
😍📚😍
Me parece muy interesante ver que no sólo Rozemyne es una rareza de Ehrenfest
Ferdinand no se queda atrás
Siempre a sido muy talentoso, guapo e impredecible
Asi que el la Academia hay muchas historias de su leyenda, que Rosemyne quiere recopilar...
🤭🤭
Bueno siendo honesta la Profesora Hirschur, Justus y Sylvester, normales no son
🤣🤣🤣
😍📚😍
Me da mucha risa ver los dolores de cabeza que Rosemyne va provocando a cualquier pobre alma
Es que no me extraña el interrogatorio y sermón que se gano
Ferdinand halando las mejillas de la Ratona, estuvo a otro nivel
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ferdinand tienen un carácter complicado, pero no hay duda que tiene un lado cariñoso y protector, pero sólo lo muestra con las personas que consideraba valiosas
Además confirmo que es mucho más expresivo con la Ratona
Porque de otra manera no se enteraría de nada
🤣🤣🤣
😍📚😍
Emocionante y asombrosa es la manera tan preciosa en que escribe Miya Kazuki
Las ilustraciones son sorprendentes y hermosa como siempre
( Me encanto la de un momento del Juego de Ditter 🤭 )
😍📚😍
En verdad estoy amando esta historia
Es fascinante apreciar la cantidad de locuras de la Ratona
Me da vidilla ver como sigue alborotando todo en pos de los libros
🤣
😍📚😍
Socialización necesaria, nuevos pasos para conseguir metas, esfuerzos, ordenes reales, consejos románticos, melodías, magia, estrategias poco ortodoxas, un juego demasiado emocionante y varios regaños para una distraída ratona amante de los libros
Recomendada 1000%
❤️❤️❤️
Los libros existen para almacenar y transmitir información

En la antigüedad la Academia, era conocida como la Tierra Santa de Yurgenschmidt
Cada invierno, al cumplir los 10 años los hijos de los nobles de todo Yurgenschmidt viajan a la Real Academia, ya que el único centro educativo para los alumnos de la nobleza
También es la sede del Torneo de Interducados Anual y la Conferencia de Archiduques
Solo se puede viajar a la Real Academia a través de círculos de teletransportación
**
El funcionamiento continuo de la Academia se financia en parte con fondos de la propia Soberanía y en parte con fondos de los ducados
A pesar de las diferentes cantidades de dinero que aportan los ducados, la educación sigue siendo la misma para todos los estudiantes, independientemente de su lugar de origen
( Claro siempre hay inconformidades... )
Salvo aquellos que son enviados a un templo para convertirse en sacerdotes o sacerdotisas, todos los nobles asisten a la Real Academia
Pueden haber excepciones para permitir la asistencia de nobles de mayor edad, pero solo si existen circunstancias atenuantes o graves que les impidan asistir en el momento adecuado, pero eso no es bien vistas en la Sociedad Noble
Durante las clases, los profesores siempre gozan de un trato superior sin importar el estatus de los estudiantes
**
La formación académica regular dura 6 años
Enseñan magia, historia, etiqueta, teología, matemáticas, escritura, etc...
Los alumnos utilizan una capa del color que representa de su Ducado y un Broche
( No hay un uniforme propiamente dicho, pero el negro y blanco están presentes en los atuendos )
Los primeros dos años consisten en cursos comunes para todos los nobles
Del tercero a sexto año se dividen en cursos especializados o carreras
• Curso de Caballeros
• Curso de Asistentes
• Curso de Erudición
• Curso de Candidatos a Archiduques
Para graduarse, se debe completar satisfactoriamente uno de los cursos
Aunque es poco común, los estudiantes pueden cursar más de uno voluntariamente si así lo desean
Cada estudiante puede elegir su curso a voluntad
La única excepción son los hijos de los Archiduques, incluidos los adoptados...
Para ellos, el Curso de Candidatos a Archiduques ( donde aprenden lo necesario para gobernar el ducado correspondiente ), es obligatorio, incluso si no tienen intención de competir por el puesto
*
Solo las personas que obtienen un schtappe y se gradúan de la Real Academia son reconocidas como nobles de pleno derecho
*
Al finalizar el último año, se celebra una Ceremonia de Graduación que coincide con la Ceremonia de Mayoría de Edad
Es un evento muy formal e importante, en ella se elige a los alumnos más resaltantes demuestran su talento en danzas acrobáticas, de espadas o otros
Siendo lo más importante el
" Giro de Dedicación "
Es una danza muy especial y hermosa, y el ser elegido para ella se considera un gran honor
😍📚😍
Rozemyne consiguió crear un paso más a su Método de Compresión
Antes tenia 3 pasos, ahora tiene 4...
😅😅😅
Sin duda su maná seguirá creciendo muchísimo más
📖
Sobre Schwartz y Weiss
Fueron creados por una princesa antigua, por ello se refieren a su amo o maestro como " Mylady ", si importar el género de este
Tienen muchísimas piedras y hechizos protectores, más no tiene género definido
No tienen conciencia propia pero pueden almacenar conocimientos y hablar perfectamente con los demás ( aunque sus diálogos son muy cortos y precisos )
Solo su actual maestro y aquellos autorizados expresamente por él, pueden tocarlos libremente
Para dar el permiso, su maestro solo debe decirlo en voz alta para que ellos puedan escucharlos
Una vez que alguien recibe permiso para tocarlos, esa persona quedará exenta de cualquier protección y, por lo tanto, podria robarlos o dañarlos a su antojo
Por ello solo se les debe permitir tocarlos a aquellos que son de confianza total
Cualquier no autorizado al tocarlos, sentira un hormigueo que aumenta de intensidad a cada instante y es muy doloroso, también pueden ser repelidos con dureza
Tiene hechizos defensivos, estos reaccionan a las intenciones del agresor, siendo leves con quienes actúan con buenas intenciones o mera curiosidad, mientras son peligrosos y fuertes con quienes tienen malas intenciones o poseen mucha malicia
*
Ellos etectan al instante a cualquier persona que entre en la biblioteca y pueden reconocer si se trata de su amo, un amo secundario, alguien autorizado a entrar o un intruso ( incluso sin tenerlos a la vista )
Si detectan intrusos malos, son capaces de perseguirlps y acabarlos...
( Protegen fuertemente a su maestro si es necesarios )
*
Hace años que nadie había logrado despertarlos por la enorme cantidad de maná que necesitan, ademas tampoco se han creado más como ellos, ya que la técnica de creación se perdió hace mucho...
😍📚😍
Me parece muy interesante ver que no sólo Rozemyne es una rareza de Ehrenfest
Ferdinand no se queda atrás
Siempre a sido muy talentoso, guapo e impredecible
Asi que el la Academia hay muchas historias de su leyenda, que Rosemyne quiere recopilar...
🤭🤭
Bueno siendo honesta la Profesora Hirschur, Justus y Sylvester, normales no son
🤣🤣🤣
😍📚😍
Me da mucha risa ver los dolores de cabeza que Rosemyne va provocando a cualquier pobre alma
Es que no me extraña el interrogatorio y sermón que se gano
Ferdinand halando las mejillas de la Ratona, estuvo a otro nivel
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ferdinand tienen un carácter complicado, pero no hay duda que tiene un lado cariñoso y protector, pero sólo lo muestra con las personas que consideraba valiosas
Además confirmo que es mucho más expresivo con la Ratona
Porque de otra manera no se enteraría de nada
🤣🤣🤣
😍📚😍
Emocionante y asombrosa es la manera tan preciosa en que escribe Miya Kazuki
Las ilustraciones son sorprendentes y hermosa como siempre
( Me encanto la de un momento del Juego de Ditter 🤭 )
😍📚😍
En verdad estoy amando esta historia
Es fascinante apreciar la cantidad de locuras de la Ratona
Me da vidilla ver como sigue alborotando todo en pos de los libros
🤣
😍📚😍
Socialización necesaria, nuevos pasos para conseguir metas, esfuerzos, ordenes reales, consejos románticos, melodías, magia, estrategias poco ortodoxas, un juego demasiado emocionante y varios regaños para una distraída ratona amante de los libros
Recomendada 1000%
❤️❤️❤️

" Rozemyne "
January 21, 2023
Aside from the dumbass (lovesick) prince, aside from the spiteful (petty) archknights, and aside from her exceedingly worrisome (annoying) caretakers back home, Rozemyne's first semester abroad is going swell.
ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v14 is the novel series' finest example of "one person's daily aspiration is another person's unmitigated disaster." Lady Rozemyne slips into a comfortable schedule of attending the library and further coaching up her duchy's peers. She occasionally makes time for a tea party or two, but only when necessary or in furtherance of her personal goals. Is it really Rozemyne's fault that she shows up Prince Anastasius, arrogant and abrasive, whenever he challenges her to prove her noble worth? Is it really Rozemyne's fault that the jerks from the duchy of Dunkelfelger are too stupid to do their own background work to avoid being humiliated when attempting to match wits?
Whatever the case, readers track Rozemyne's daily adventures as she ingratiates herself to the library staff, befuddles fellow archduke candidates, and occasionally wades into interduchy statecraft, if by sheer accident. ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v14 is a strong, entertaining read. Without constant commentary from Ferdinand, Sylvester, and Karstedt, the young woman's delightfully logical efforts to weasel out of danger are met with just the right balance of amusement and confusion. Social graces this girl has not. For example, when a rival duchy challenges Ehrenfest to a game of treasure-stealing ditter, Rozemyne-the-strategist absolutely dominates. And when Anastasius publicly chides her intellect, Rozemyne-the-brilliant calmly and coolly proves she's eternally prepared with a comeback.
One of the novel's best moments occurs during a tea party. A friendly get-together between Rozemyne and the dainty Lady Eglantine (duchy of Klassenberg) goes sideways when Anastasius crashes the party and insists Rozemyne compose a new piece of music for his sort-of girlfriend. The prince is throwing his weight around and trying to put Ehrefest in its place. Except, of course, Rozemyne snaps her fingers, orders her attendants into ready position, and blithely composes a new tune for the harspiel on the fly. She's that good. It isn't until much later that Rozemyne learns how constantly showing up royalty, and frequently responding to their prodding with raw sarcasm, is typically viewed as a death warrant. Whoops.
To that end, the current volume also makes a concerted effort to materialize the nation's political infrastructure. Readers learn more of the balance of power between the two princes (Anastasius and his elder brother, Sigiswald). Readers also learn more about the rules of succession (real or presumed), as well as the consequences of attempting to run away from one's royal fate.
As far as drama goes, ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v14 doesn't disappoint. When one of her retainers expresses outright disgust for serving a noble with such a weak constitution, Rozemyne must make a difficult decision regarding how to properly effect a punishment befitting the ignorant. To cut off a retainer is to disgrace a person's whole family. But doing so also makes one liable for retaliation. If she's too severe, then her reputation may shift toward a more authoritarian vibe. If she's too soft, then her other retainers may view her kindness as a weakness. What's a librarian to do?

And Rozemyne rampages again!
This book is packed with teacher-disciple similarities, struggle against the superiors, and Rozemyne fighting for her right to her much-treasured library!
This book is fun, gripping and one you simply wouldn't want to stop reading until the end. Every chapter follows Rozemyne's seemingly adventurous life which, no matter how much she claims to be one that is peaceful, is in fact full of big things and happenings one after another.
After finishing all her classes, Rozemyne is left to enjoy her land of paradise (a.k.a the library), however, things rarely go as planned.
It truly is amusing to see her seemingly doing the least but still attracting the most. Is it her innate talent to attract powerful people? Is it her utter lack of nobility common sense? Nobody knows. Her guardians can only grip their heads lol
Her lack of common sense edges her close to mistakes time and time again but thankfully, at each turn, she meets good people that, albeit exasperated with her upon knowing her more closely, still helps her in their own ways. People like Rihyarda, her guardians, and even Anastasius(!) are all very helpful. It was heartwarming to read Rozemyne gaining people that help her.
I'd like to point out the teacher-disciple similarities going on in this book too. It was entertaining to see Hirschur acting in all the ways Ferdinand may act when it comes to research and Rozemyne acting in all the ways Ferdinand may act when she's as engrossed to books as he is to his research. I just think the parallels there are nice to see.
The Rozemyne of this book sounds very mature. It's like she grew even through the years she had slept. Unlike in the previous books where she sounds and acts like a kid matching her age (as can be somehow seen in her impulsive tendencies and internal monologues), in the book, I somehow get the feel that she has grown and matured. She handles conversations with powerful people well, though admittedly, she's still impulsive as ever.
The Epilogue chapters are all such nice reads too. Notably, the rose-tinted lens Anastasius has on was so apparent in his POV chapter. He was so SO in love, it was quite amusing to see.
The illustrations are all very satisfying. It is nice to see new characters. And oh dear, it was a treat to see such handsome new characters. I received them all well! Haha
This book was a delight to read. Now on to the next!

At last, the library is within reach! And with that at hand, Rozemyne promptly forgets everything else. And somehow manages to get herself in the middle of all sorts of trouble again, as her mastery of the two magical library tools Schwartz and Weiss has provoked other duchies into standing up against her . . .
It's really funny how much Rozemyne is starting to resemble Ferdinand, despite all her protests to the contrary. The way she's actively channeling him in the ditter game was hilarious. And really, when they finally meet face-to-face at the end so she can report on what she's been doing, it's everything I hoped for and more.
Equally funny is Rozemyne's ongoing relationship with Prince Anastasius, where she somehow manages to do almost everything wrong, yet the WAY she's messing things up means she keeps seeing MORE of him, not less. I do think it's a really good thing the prince has at least one person willing to talk to him straight, even if the poor guy feels so badly for her blunders that he breaks the social rules himself to tell her just how much she's out of bounds.
Because Rozemyne's true problem is that she takes people as people, and only tries to remember the noble stuff on top of that. So she's trying to help, in her own way, and manages to do more than anyone could have dreamed (by the end she's pretty much on the altering-national-politics scale, which is an amusing accomplishment considering she was just trying to make two people happy).
Overall this series is just consistently fantastic. I rate this book Highly Recommended.

As consistently good as the first bit of Part 4 (which I had read via manga).
So thankfully the switch to light novel hasn't reduced my enjoyment despite manga being my favourite form for the series.
Since it's a pretty clear continuation of the previous entry, I won't be going into much detail - rather, here's some dot points of things I loved:
-The Treasure-Stealing Ditter game
-Traugott's reveal & ordeal
-Details of Elvira's published books with a certain man serving as inspiration - Get it, girl!
-The surprising developments with Prince Anastasius & Rozemyne. I thought that'd go in a very different and difficult path, but I'm actually more entertained by the connection & results from how their dynamic has turned out, as well as with Eglantine
-Rozemyne's guardians trying to contain themselves from all shit she's somehow already stirred up at the academy (hilarious dynamic as always)
-Rozemyne bringing out Ferdinand's passion & letting him have fun with it a bit regarding the magic tools/clothes for the library schumils.
My only small critique is I'm struggling to differentiate between Brunhilde, Lenore & Judithe at time. Only by the end could I remember that Brunhilde is the trendy one, Lenore is the calm knight & Judithe is the one who has that accurate aim in the ditter game. But during half the book & the previous entry, I was constantly confusing them for each other becauss they look relatively similar in the manga (hair colour aside cause I was reading in black & white ofc) & their dialogue isn't distinct enough in the light novel. But maybe that'll fade away as I get to know them more.

This school arc is the best!
Been loving the academy arc! Pretty much any scene with the prince had me laughing, as well as Sylvester reactions to the reoorts. I really liked Rozemynes new retainers. It would be really hard to pick a favorite.
So looking forward to the next book!!!

Amazing
I like how everyone sees Rozemyne as a walking disaster. Some people view her as a saint others as weird. I do enjoy how she seeks a peaceful resolution instead of a violent one.

Me encanto. La locura que desata Rozemyne en la Academia arrastrando al resto de estudiantes de Ahrenfest consigo, es súper divertido este tomo lol. Parece ser que el arco entero será increíble 🔥.

This book was amazing and I can’t wait to read the next one!
Rozemyne, as always, is hilarious to read about. It amazes me that she is so smart and yet so bad at thinking things through. Her passion for books really does block out anything else… Her shrinking connection with the people from her commoner life is heartbreaking. I’m sad that Lutz and Myne’s family have not had the opportunity to show up much, but seeing how it impacts Rozemyne will be interesting. And the short story from Benno’s perspective only made it more sad. Lutz has been slowly shut out of Rozemyne’s life as the series goes on, a stark contrast to his closeness with Myne in the first and second parts.
Rozemyne has been my favorite character this whole series, but Leonore might just steal that spot from her. I hope to see her growing intellect shine in the next few books. I find it funny that she is one of the only apprentice knights who value strategy just as much as physical strength. I look forward to seeing her help the other apprentice knights grow from the sound defeat they will likely experience at the hands of Dunkelfelger in their ditter rematch.
Traugott was the only one of Rozemyne’s retainers who didn’t seem to have much of a personality in the previous book. But that was remedied in this book. He’s shown to be aggressive and rude during the treasure-stealing ditter game. And we later find out that he’s been badmouthing Rozemyne behind her back, having the stupidest motivation for wanting to serve her: learn her mana compression method and gain Bonifatius’s attention. And poor Cornelius has to deal with this guy as a relative (cousin? brother? I don’t even know at this point). Rozemyne’s expert handling of the situation was awesome.
The relationships between the characters in this series are part of what makes this series so interesting (other than the world building). The close sibling relationship Rozemyne has with Cornelius is great. The camaraderie between Rozemyne’s retainers (other than Traugott, because no one likes Traugott) is cool to read about.
And also, shout out to You Shiina for the illustrations and cover art. Her art is beautiful and I love how unique all her character designs are. Each and every character in each and every book is so beautiful.

She finished her classes and ace it all. She had all the time in the library but though she had a lot of things to be settled which is going on to tea parties that she is invited to and also the best time for measuring the shumils however, after measuring the shumils, there were people from other fraction is not happy that she gets to control them and also she is not fit to be. So, because of that to prove that she has what it takes to be the shumils' master, her fraction have to duel with duchy Dunkelfelger into a game of treasure ditter. And of course before the duel occur, she come out with a plan and also research about how exactly to win and also how to take care of their treasure.
And other than that, she is also caught the Prince's attention. Though at first they don't really see eye to eye at first but because his love interest is getting along with her, he asked her for her help to win his love interest heart. And she did help him and even kind of confronted him to tell his love interest on how he feels exactly and also listen to her about how she feels too. Oh and that's that can't spoil too much, and because the way that she settle things made her get into trouble, oh wells, she is not raised as a noble after all, she is still learning and trying her best to be a noble.
And of course, like teacher like student. Ferdinand is similar to Rozemyne when they are into the things they love, they will be into their stuff and forgot to eat which also made their retainers worried about their health. Haha... and them telling each other off is just so funny haha...
Can't spoil too much. Can't wait to read the next book.

The interactions between the characters and the world building are interesting as ever. I feel the story can change at any moment and it is nerve wracking, but in a good way. Will Myne become royalty, the queen, the archduke of Ehrenfest, or a powerful noble even stronger in influence that the king? Wil Ehrenfest become so powerful that even Arhensbach will tremble before it? Will she be in danger again because of envious duchies that wish to remain in power? What will happen with lady Veronica and Georgine? Will Wilfried become a pawn of Georgine and her daughter? There are so many questions and everytime one is answered, another takes its place.
As the author said, I love how when the retainers express their opinions when their charge is not in presence. It makes the story feel alive. Seeing Lutz and Myne be sad because of the inescapale gradually separation due to the business with other duchies that is to come made me sad as well. Watching one best friend and everything you love change and disapear must be tough.
I just hope to see Myne grow and I don't know how much more years will that take for me to read. Every 2 months I feel complete bliss when the volume reaches my hands before the longing for the next volume comes anew.
As the author said, I love how when the retainers express their opinions when their charge is not in presence. It makes the story feel alive. Seeing Lutz and Myne be sad because of the inescapale gradually separation due to the business with other duchies that is to come made me sad as well. Watching one best friend and everything you love change and disapear must be tough.

This one is less interesting to me. There's so much about the Royal Academy. Rozemyne excels at the testing of material for classes, and urges/bribes her fellow Ehrenfest dorm members to also hurry and pass. Everyone seems to be focused on the next term which is apparently all about socializing and not academics. Since the nobles all seem to use euphemisms, it's hard for Rozemyne to navigate. It's harder for the reader who is getting most of their information through her filter. Maybe it's what medieval politics was truly like - trying to figure out who meant what really. There's also lots of hints at other people's motivations. The children seem to vary between typical tweens and people with very long term goals. I liked the volumes where things were being invented and created far more.

Acho que esse foi o volume que eu li mais sem vontade, horas muito rápido e outras muito devagar
Sinceramente acho que a série tá meio parada, Rosemyne já não cria novos produtos pra esse mundo e muito menos aparece os aspectos de negociação comercial que foi o que me interessou nas primeiras duas partes, também o que envolve a igreja e o ducado parece que está ficando muito arrastado quando não tem algum evento maior.
É um volume pra apresentar mais personagens e o entrosamento de Rosemyne na academia. Sua candidatura para arquiduquesa, sendo protegida por Rihyarda.
Amizade de Rosemyne com Eglantine, duque e príncipe.

Part 1 2 of this series is good but after part 3 vol 3 I feel like the story focus too much on everything else beside ‘book’. The story stop being about interesting stuff like book making and relationship between characters and shift to politic (and the politic part is so bad I stop reading. The ‘Mana compression method’ is too simple/stupid but have too much impact.)
There is also some flaw that I previously ignore such as the magic contract being inconsistent and too loose.
In my opinion it would be better if the MC die and the story end at the assassination arc.

I wanted this volume to be more eventful than the previous one, but I guess it is ok in general since the groundwork for what’s to come is being lay here.
From the retainers incident, Hartmut looks exactly like I imagined, in spite of not been given a description of his appearance (that I can remember) and he behaved like I expected from someone with his looks(😅😬). So he is the type of character that gives me trust issues, and I don’t believe he is going to betray Rozemyne, it’s just that he has his on agenda.

อ่านจบยังรวดเร็ว น่าจะเร็วที่สุดในบรรดาที่เคยฟังผ่านๆมา เล่มนี้ก็เหตุการณ์เยอะไปหมด นางเอกก็คงยังป่วนและยังไงสามัญสำนึกของขุนนางอยู่ดี ยังคงมีตรรกะของชาวเกาะติดตัวมาเหมือนเคยทำให้เนื้อเรื่องยิ่งปั่นป่วนเข้าไปใหญ่ แต่ก็ตรงนี้แหละที่สนุก
คล้ายๆกับควิชดิชของ harry potter ในเรื่องนี้ก็มีกีฬาของขุนนางแต่เรียกว่า ดิตเตอร์ ยอมรับเลยว่าคนเขียนวางเรื่องมาดีจริงๆ น่าจะคิดมาแล้วทุกทาง นางเอกเริ่มโดนดึงเข้าไปยุ่งกับเรื่องขุนนางราชวงศ์มากขึ้น
พวกของโอลด์เวโรนิก้า บางทีก็ดูน่าสงสาร แต่บางทีก็อยากจะพุ่งทะลุหนังสือไปแล้วก็บอกว่าเปลี่ยนข้างเถอะ
สรุปว่าสนุกมากมาย เริ่มเล่นต่อไปเลยดีกว่า

We finally get back to the lower city and I realize the other part was better. Mostly because I like the characters more than the plot. And the lower city seems all plot. Again this book had parts that were hard to put down. In this case it was the measuring and the game. Some of the new characters are really starting to gain depth. And yet this volume felt just a little thinner than the previous one. 3.5 of 5.

This was a very fun volume. It was chaotic in all the best ways and made Rosemyne's lack of knowledge about properly navigating noble society abundantly clear. It also featured the library bunnies, had multiple fun tea parties, and expanded on national politics (i.e., the conflict between the princes). 4.5 stars.
