Turning the page to a new school year It’s time for Rozemyne’s next year at the Royal Academy to begin—and she gets right to work causing even more problems! She goes on another library-inspired rampage and pushes the other Ehrenfest second-years to finish their classes on the first day, all while hunting for new allies for the Library Committee. Rozemyne spends a great deal of time with her professors, archduke candidates from top-ranking duchies, and even the Sovereignty’s third prince—much to her guardians’ displeasure. Yet while they agonize over interduchy diplomacy, she blazes ahead to forge her own path with an unbending focus—even leading her to hunt a ternisbefallen feybeast that appears in Ehrenfest’s gathering spot!     Our book-obsessed protagonist just can’t catch a break in this biblio-fantasy! Also includes two original short stories and a four-panel manga by You Shiina!

Once again, Kazuki-Sensei has provided us with an excellent instalment of the Bookworm series!

Without giving too much away, Rozemyne remains at the Royal Academy for the whole volume, causes all kinds of hilarious problems and finally assembles her library committee with Hannelore and Prince Hildebrand.

I this instalment, we were treated to one of the first real conflicts involving a battle scene in a while. This develops nicely into almost a whodunit mystery that is just starting to be explored in the epilogue. Im more excited than ever to hear what comes next!

Some of the new faces from the last volume, like Roderick and some of the former Veronica faction students get more coverage, hopefully developing into allies! However given the location of where the volume is set, Rozemynes family and acquaintances back in Ehrenfest and its lower city aren’t shown at all this time and are only mentioned in passing. No doubt we will hear from them in the next volume!

Lots to be entertained by in this volume, which for once covers a reasonably short amount of time, maybe a couple of weeks. The world building in the meantime remains excellent! I give it full marks!

Lady Rozemyne's second year at the Royal Academy is a blast. Except, well, it could have been a blast. The problem? The whirlwind bookworm causes so much confusion, chaos and uncertainty that she's called back home after only a week and a half. Not to say ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v18 isn't packed with a bevy of entertaining and dramatic exploits. Only to clarify: If Rozemyne is the cause so much disorder in fewer than two weeks, then what would happen were she to spend the entire term in the Sovereignty?

The novel series' preference to alternate volumes of Rozemyne-at-school and Rozemyne-at-home hits another upswing, as readers trail the troublemaker's return to the Royal Academy. It's a bit unfortunate one can only gleam the young woman's adventures in short bursts like this, but it would appear Rozemyne moves so fast and so earnestly that everyone else needs a whole volume to play catch-up.

In any case, ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v18 is a wonderful volume. The book spotlights the fruits of Rozemyne's efforts to build up the educational resilience of her fellow Ehrenfest nobles. The book also incorporates a new anonymous threat, explores a new wrinkle in the novel series' mythology and lore, and offers some love to all of the library nerds out there. And finally, the author appears increasingly invested in dropping hints of deeper foreshadowing (e.g., a possible reference to the king; a splinter sect of zealots called "biblical fundamentalists"). A handful of seeds from the previous volume have yet to sprout (e.g., the Ahrensbach duchy scheming on Ferdinand), but one shouldn't be unconvinced the author is playing the long-game here.

Notably, the novel series' character development hits a nice stride. Wilfried's warm pretentiousness is less a mark of a whiny child and more representative of an exhausted and exasperated young man. It's heartening to see (Wilfried: "She expects from others as much as she expects from herself," page 98). Ferdinand, visible through third-person accounts and the Epilogue, is almost but not quite immune to Rozemyne's antics. He regularly expresses to Sylvester and Karstedt that it's only a matter of time until another Rozemyne-problem befalls the duchy (Ferdinand: "So it finally happened," page 311).

Anarchy aside, let it not be said that Lady Rozemyne has zero social anxiety. Contrary to every other character's popular assumption, Rozemyne is a nervous wreck whenever she must reconfigure her behavior in front of someone new. She is, by almost all accounts, winging it. Which is why her sudden and newfound friendship with Hildebrand, the third prince, goes astonishingly (hilariously) well (despite everyone sweating it out whenever the two accidentally meet in the Royal Academy's library). At the book's beginning, the young woman confesses she'll probably survive just fine without noble socializing (Rozemyne: "I know I should probably socialize more, but… If my choice is between that and the library…", page 34), but it turns out combining socializing and library duties is the perfect snare for this little bookworm.

On subtler matters, ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v18 does wonders for readers more interested in the author's capacity to wring more detail out of this novel series. For example, readers still don't know what the gods and goddesses actually look like, but in this volume, one can glimpse a statue of Mestionora, the Goddess of Wisdom. And similarly, readers haven't too wide an aperture through which the novel might illuminate Yurgenschmidt's civics education, but in this volume, readers learn more about post-Civil-War alliances and the knock-on effects of shifting sociology curricula among the noble elites. And further, readers have a rather disjointed and haphazard recollection of the "divine instruments" native to the book's lore, but in this volume, readers earn a practical and distilled glimpse of Schutzaria's shield, Leidenschaft's spear, the God of Darkness's cape, and Flutrane's staff. This open and honest effort to more smoothly merge passive and active worldbuilding makes fantasy literature worth the wait. One can only hope the author continues to charm readers with more knowledge, folklore, and stories-within-stories to pry apart the history of Yurgenschmidt.

This is a good volume. A clever use of perspective-writing clues readers into the true impact of the protagonist's actions (e.g., nothing seems problematic in the moment, but later on, challenges emerge). Elsewhere, the rolling punches of Rozemyne always doing her thing with the library, yet that thing invariably spiraling farther and farther beyond her own remit, is not unexpected but funny nonetheless. Rozemyne aces her classes and rebuffs professors who think she and her peers are cheaters; she helps with a wildly dramatic fey-beast hunt but runs out of gas (and is likely to be summoned for questioning later); and she might have found a solution to that whole nobles-skimping-on-returning-books problem. And so, after a somewhat tumultuous second year at the Royal Academy, Rozemyne returns home for another scolding.

THIS is what I've been craving. A whole light novel staying in the Royal Academy setting in this world? YES.
(This is gonna be a long one since I have so much I want to discuss & remember!)

As I've said, not so subtly, in my other reviews of this series, the Royal Academy has some of the most exciting concepts for in this world and relies on: magic progression stories (my fantasy loving self is obviously intrigued), discussions between the kids alone and trying to navigate the tense world the society and adults have made for them (e.g. former Veronica faction acting on whether they're for or against Rozemyne), fun character interactions or bonds, inevitably new characters from the rest of the world (the other duchies), as well as Rozemyne unfiltered as she's less under the supervision of those who can stop her.

Despite loving the series, every volume in the light novels so far has had one or two chapters B-(or C-)side stories that I find a little less hooking, I.e. repetitive prayer ceremonies. But this volume had none of those ceremonies and focused on a setting I obviously adore, so EVERY chapter was engaging for me personally.

Here's a list of things I loved/noted in this book:
- Prologue: Charlotte is so sweet, poor girl. Honestly wouldn't mind if she somehow got to become archduke~ I prefer it over Wilfried & Rozemyne getting it for some reason. Can it happen? Even though it's unlikely, her POV makes me wanna root for her!
- Ch.1 Beginning Classes: A soft intro to the novel as it reminds me why I loved the start of Part 4; the fun race to passing exams in a magical academy.
- Ch.2 Library Committee Member Get!: and Rozemyne are so cute together. Always love a fellow bookworm, so I'm excited to see their relationship continue developing for more of those book discussions.
- Ch.3 Registering for the Library and Supplying Mana: Rozemyne's quip at Cornelius's love & speculating if he was rejected was a genius move to get him to back off a bit, ha!
- Ch.4: Schtappe Transformation + Ch.5 Strengthening the Weapon: The fantasy geek in me was keen for this just off the chapter title! More magical wand lessons; yes please! But see, AoaB couldn't just make me relive that fun from an earlier volume, could it? No, Rozemyne had to upscale to bring out the Excuse me, that was damn jaw-dropping when she used the and....
...
..
.
NOT THE Forever. In the whole series. I cackled out loud! Rauffen (favourite professor fyi, I love his drive and hilarious & expectant pressures on Rozemyne). Aside from that delight, it was fun seeing her gag everyone with her absurdism and her self-analysis of her combat abilities (I.e. considering a if ever need be).
- Ch.6 Everyone Passing on the First Day: Wilfried is slowly getting more likeable. The whole "he spoke with the gravity of someone who had endured war" when roasting Rozemyne as a determined monster for the sake of getting what she wants (reading) was just so funny.
I'm also really like Ortwin and how genuine he seems to be in his friendship (rivalry) with Wilfried. He's someone who hasn't so far been given much plot or relevance for how abruptly he was introduced to us a peer of Wilfried, but that moment where he was actually that was heartwarming and earned a quick ticket to Characters I Like/Give A Damn About.
- Ch.7 Brewing and Recovery Potions: Fun tidbit that a morphed schtappe can't
- Ch.8 Roderick's Wish: (I) Roderick's whole ordeal... Man, I want him to do well! His whole reason for wanting to was always so understandable, but to hear it from him even more in detail was so beautiful to hear - I could almost hear the raspy desperation in his voice. Shit, if I was in his position, I also probably would make this decision.
(II) Ferdinand guiding Rozemyne to the potential of her That was so unexpected but so welcome! Picturing Philine and Rozemyne and hope the series will go into even more details on how it works one day, elemental-wise.
(III) Harmut playing Rozemyne like a fiddle with books when she tried interrogating him was funny & her blissfully ignorant 180 reaction was so cute. While it's somewhat hinting that he got a but I want details!), as well as the full extent of his day when he's away. He's so mysterious to me, despite his devotion being so clear. I could easily enjoy this world from his POV.
- Ch.10 (don't have much to say on ch9) The Music Tea Party and the End of Classes: Rozemyne's negligence for anything romantic or marriage-related continues to amuse me. Her love greetings were as expected, but miso soup poetry is still top tier. I hope the Wilfried and Rozemyne banter continues to increase too.
- Ch.11: I Want to Do Library Committee Work: Harmut looking out for Rozemyne and cheering her up with a library-related reminder was sweet. I need more of this in their relationship rather than just one-sided devotion from one and one-sided skepticism from the other.
- Ch.14 (not much to note on 12-13) Changing Schwartz and Weiss: is SO fascinating, not only for the fun book lover stuff, but for what this will mean in the future. Will Rozemyne ever see the Sovereign
- Ch.17 (skipping 15-16) Healing and Reinforcements: The sheer PAIN I felt when I read this amazing reappearance of Rozemyne
- Ch.18 A Tea Party of Bookworms: I love this series tea parties and I obviously love books. Put them together to make decisions and you get this lil short beauty. Sweet characters who, when put together, are not only adorable af
- Epilogue (skipping ch.19): (a) Watching 3 high-status royal grown-ups cradling their heads, groaning and muttering in pain over & over in reaction to everything Rozemyne had gotten up to in the Royal Academy was just comedic bliss. Couldn't wipe the smile off my face.
(b) Also, Hirschur was annoying me just a touch recently, so it's nice to get a reminder through Ferdinand's reminders of how helpful she was to him.
(c) ALSO ALSO, holy crap, the conversation between Sylvester & Ferdinand about the former pleading to know more about the effects of was so heartfelt and earnest! It really tugged on my heartstrings, especially when we don't really seeing these strong nobles so vulnerable like this often. The plea, the facial expressions, the honesty and tenderness of the scene was truly a masterpiece and a modest highlight of the book (& even in series so far).
- Unshakable Resolve (Roderick POV): Didn't think I'd particularly find relatability in Roderick but his self-reflections were honest and raw, I.e. (potentially selfishly) envying someone and only
- Investigating the Former Werkestock Dormitory (Rauffen POV): Rauffen's inner-thoughts were enlightening, especially as behind that tough, fight-loving, warrior goofball demeanour, we got his vulnerable emotions regarding the That wasn't needed, but it added incredible depth to his character.

Now, that last chapter tells me A new character to shake things up would be so interesting! Or will it just be Anastasius (which is fine too since I enjoy the different dynamic he brings; more serious, more stakes, yet somehow still got a subtle banter with Rozemyne & may as well be heart-eyed for Eglantine).
Let's go, I'm ready!

One of the best books in the series yet, and highly amusing in a number of places. The start of the second year in the royal academy like the events of Part 4 Volume 1 introduces a number of novel elements which shall no doubt develop in interesting ways.

I love Myne's time at the academy - this volume allowed fun mayhem without some of the serious politics. The kids are pulling together and its both cozy and exciting.

Plus we got to see more of the new characters introduced which was lots of fun. I really want to see this volume in the anime!! Can't wait.

El Ascenso Del Ratón De Biblioteca

Volumen 18

❤️📖❤️

Arco 4

La Autoproclamada Bibliotecaria De La Real Academia 6

📖❤️📖

¡¡ Fascinante !!

❤️✨❤️

Volumen 18 y esta Bibliofantasia continua

Sigue siendo maravillosamente mágica

Personajes únicos, interesante y hermosos, una trama adictiva y atrapante que sigue avanzando fascinantemente, muchos problemas, responsabilidades, nuevos aprendizajes, más magia y claro un desborde sentimientos

La vida de esta Ratona sigue cambiando, aún entre problemas y libros, ella sigue avanzando y nada ni nadie la detendra

Una vez terminada la ceremonia de ascenso y las reuniones de confraternidad, el nuevo año de Rozemyne en la Real Academia puede comenzar adecuadamente

Pero...

Se embarca en otro alboroto inesperado en la biblioteca y presiona a los demás estudiantes de segundo año del Ehrenfest para que terminen sus clases el primer día, mientras busca nuevos aliados para reclutar en su Comité de la Biblioteca

De alguna manera, se las arregla para causar aún más problemas, y en una sucesión más rápida que el año anterior...

Pasa más tiempo con los profesores, con los candidatos a archiduques de los ducados más importantes e incluso con el tercer príncipe de la Soberanía, para disgusto de sus tutores...

Pero mientras ellos agonizan por la diplomacia interdiciplinar, ella sigue su propio camino...

Avanza con una concentración inquebrantable e incluso caza a una bestia fey oscura que aparece en el lugar de reunión de Ehrenfest...

Todo sea por los libros

¿ Sobreviviran los tutores de la Ratona a los problemas que ella causa... ?

😍📚😍

No importa donde esté o que deba hacer los libros son sin duda la mayor motivación de la Ratona

Me parece asombroso como siempre se esfuerza para cumplir sus metas

Aunque en ocasiones me da penita...

Es que por mucho que intenta evitar los problemas, estos siempre parecen encontrarla, y como ella es demasiado despistada termina enredando todo a niveles inimaginables 😅

Sin embargo me gusta como siempre trata de proteger a quién lo necesita sin dudar

Sigue manteniéndose firme y no retrocede jamás, aunque ocasiones su espontánea y curiosa forma de ser la mete en aún más lios

🤭🤣🤣

😍📚😍

El segundo año de la Ratona en la Real Academia ha comenzado, y de alguna manera termina causando muchos más problemas que antes...

Debido a que Ehrenfest subio de puesto hay muchos ducados que no están contentos...

Wilfried, Charlotte y la Ratona deben luchar por mantener la nueva posición y mejorarla

Sin embargo deben evitar problemas, pero con la Ratona eso es bien difícil, más bien imposible
😅😅😅

Un niño de la Facción Verónica quiere entregarle su nombre

Fabrico instrumentos divinos y una pistola de agua en una de sus clases

También inicio su investigación para su biblioteca de ensueño

Aunque siendo sincera, tiene que lidiar con varios incidentes en los que apenas tiene culpa...

Un profesor sigue presionándola para que haga el Curso de Caballeros, hizo el cambio de ropa de Schwartz y Weiss a la vez estos le piden que suministre maná a la estatua de una diosa, el pequeño príncipe entra a la Academia y va muy amenudo a la biblioteca, descubre que el discípulo de Hirschur es un estudiante de Ahrensbach, y si eso fuera poco una bestia fey aparece en el lugar de reunión de Ehrenfest

En fin Rozemyne tiene las manos ocupadas con muchos problemas, sumándole su honestidad, lo mal que se le da socializar y su amor por los libros, las situaciones no mejoran
🤣🤣🤣

Además volvió a casa tras desmayarse en la Fiesta de Té de Ratones de Biblioteca, luego de que le dijeran que podía ir a la Biblioteca Real 😅

Ella sabe que sus tutores van a tener muuucho trabajo y que van a regañarla, pero eso no evita que este menos disgustada por renunciar a su tiempo de lectura para volver al Ehrenfest...

😍📚😍

Y bueno seguimos viendo en que lios terminan estos personajes

Han aparecido algunos más, hay otros de los que todavia no tengo mayor información y otros que no son considero relevantes

( En cuanto se pueda dejare por acá a los que considero serán más importantes )

***

Me gusta mucho ver las interacción entre los asistentes de Rozemyne

Cada vez es más evidente el crecimiento que van teniendo, pero eso también es notable en Charlotte y Wilfried
( Charlotte más que Wilfried, hay que decirlo... )

Además el cariño que le tienen a la Ratona crece más y más

Es muy lindooooo

❤️🥹❤️

***

Algo muy divertido y exasperante es como la profesora Hirschur termina volviendo a la Ratona su asistente en clases

Solo tuvo que mencionar que me daría un libro y lo consiguió
🤣🤣🤣

Es exasperante porque ella como maestra es un desastre

Y divertido porque la Ratona no tienen nada de fuerza de voluntad cuando los libros entran en juego

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Aunque algo que me sorprendió de Hirschur, fue descubrir que pese a su fachada y rareza es una excelente persona

Ella educa, valora y protege a los estudiantes por su talento y esfuerzo, sin importarle la política, estatus o lugar de origen

Además ella se ha ganado puntos, pues protegió sin dudar a Ferdinand, incluso cuando trataron de impedírselo

( Es entendible que Ferdinand la respete y aprecie, además es notable que incluso en la actualidad Hirschur se sigue preocupando por él )

***

Algo que me enfurece demasiado es la " profesora " Fraularm y su actitud de mierda 🙄...

Trata de sabotear siempre y de cualquier manera todos los estudiantes del grupo de la Ratona

Poniendo en las pruebas, temas que no les enseña o culpandolos de hacer trampa, todo con el fin de reprobarlos

Pero como claramente ellos estudiaron muuuuchisimo en muchos aspectos, no logra su cometido

( Estoy deseando que la infeliz reciba una buena dosis de humildad y que el karma le llegue 🤭 )

***

Ya quiero ver en que más terminan estos personajes 🤭

😍📚😍

El Comité de la Biblioteca

Esta oficialmente abierto 😍

La Ratona como directora del comité hizo pulseras a juego para los miembros y los shumill

( Eso gracias a Tuuli 🤭 )

De momento los miembros de comité son

La Ratona

Hannelore

Hildebrand, el tercer príncipe

La profesora Solange y los Shumills

Me alegro mucho que la Ratona tenga su anhelado Comité de la Biblioteca

Entre todos protegerán la Biblioteca

***

La estatua a la que le suministro maná la Ratona es a la de Mestionora, la diosa de la sabiduría que está en obviamente en la biblioteca

( Aun no se que consecuencias tendrá tal acción 😅 )

😍📚😍

En una de sus clases de magia tuvo que hacer una hacer una " Propuesta de Piedra Fey "

Que seria algo asi como un anillo de compromiso

Debe de ser de la mejor calidad posible y debe llevar un mensaje especial grabado dentro

La calidad de la piedra en la clase no importaba porque solo era para practicar

Aunque la Ratona hizo la piedra con muchísima facilidad...

Se le complico el mensaje

El romance nunca fue prioridad en su vida y sus ideas para el mensaje parecían muy descaradas

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

***

Otra clase emocionante fue la Transformación de Schtappe

Consiste en transformarlo en escudo o arma ( o otros objetos ), y para ello se usan palabras específicas...

El escudo debía ser rectangular, pero ella termino creando el instrumento Divino de Schutzaria, la Diosa del Viento

Y termino causando revuelo ya que para comprobar si funcionaba le lanzaron una roca pequeña, el problema fue que uno de los amuletos protectores que Ferdinand le dio se activo y el alcance fue notable...

Para el arma no había una especifica, es decir valía un cuchillo, flechas, espada, etc

La Ratona fiel a su estilo creo la...

Lanza de Leidenschaft, el Dios del Fuego

Otro instrumento Divino

Aprobó con solo mostrarla... 😅

Siempre fiel a su original manera de ser la Ratona termino creando los Instrumentos Divinos, ya que no se le ocurrió nada más

Bueno...

Se le ocurrió crear una pistola de agua o más bien de maná

No es peligrosa, a menos que se quiera

Y la Ratona termino destruyen su dosel en su proceso científico 😅

Trato de cambiarle la forma, pero lo máximo que logro es que fuera de color negro 🤭

😍📚😍

Un dato muy importante es que cada dormitorio de la Real Academia tienen un Punto de Reunión por ducado

Es un lugar donde pueden encontrar muchos materiales e ingredientes para las diferentes clases

En el Punto de Reunión de Ehrenfest, los estudiantes tuvieron que enfrentarse a una bestia fey llamada " Ternisbefallen "

Al igual que el Trombe absorbe maná y crece en consecuencia

Más la Ratona tuvo que intervenir, invocando el Instrumento Divino de La Capa del Dios de la Oscuridad, y de paso enseñando a los Aprendices de Caballeros, una oración para obtener una bendición del Dios de la Oscuridad...

Tras algunos esfuerzos los estudiantes de Ehrenfest vencieron la bestia fey

Pero Rosemyne tuvo que realizar el Ritual de Curación en el Punto de Reunión, pues el desatre que dejo la bestia fey fue enorme, y el lugar es indispensable para la los estudiantes de Ehrenfest...

Utilizando muchísimo y posiones de rejuvenecimiento, activo un Circulo Mágico Enorme...

Tras el incidente los estudiantes de Ehrenfest no volverán a utilizar la bendición del Dios de la Oscuridad...

Para evitar problemas también dijeron en la Orden de Caballeros de la Soberanía mato a la bestia fey...

Sin embargo quedaron cabos sueltos, y por ello iniciaron las investigaciones respectivas...

😍📚😍

Siendo honesta lo más divertido han sido los informes que reciben Sylvester, Karstedt y Ferdinand de los desastres que provoca la Ratona

Sylvester rezando para que ya no haga desastres

Karstedt pidiendo paciencia

Y

Ferdinand sabiendo que los desastres apenas comienzan

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Los dolores de cabeza de esas pobres almas

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😍📚😍

Otro punto épico fue la Ratona toda preocupada porque Ferdinand no la regaña en las cartas

🤣🤣🤣

Buscando los regaños en las cartas y al no encontrarlos, toda triste pensando que seguro él la sacaría de su vida

😅🤣🤣🤣

Aunque eso demuestra también lo importante que es Ferdinand para ella

Prefiere los regaños a su silencio
🥹❤️🥹

😍📚😍

Estoy demasiado fascinada con esta sublime aventura

Cada momento está perfectamente descrito y desarrollado, la magia se siente en cada página

😍😍😍

Miya Kazuki realmente escribe increíbleeeeee

No me olvido de mencionar que las ilustraciones son sencillamente maravillosas

😍📚😍

Estoy emocionada por ver que otros lios hace esta Ratona de Biblioteca

😍❤️😍

Leanla si o si

😍📚😍

Dolares de cabeza, problemas, aprendizaje, ingredientes, alborotos, tareas, magia, lios, informes, libros, rituales, oraciones y bendiciones que sorprenden en más de un sentido

Recomendada 1000%

❤️❤️❤️

Tratar de contenerla tendría un impacto demasiado grande en otras cosas

smash hit

Another great installment! The book is hilarious, smart, and imaginative. I love Myne as always and really enjoyed newer characters like Hannelore, Hirschur, and Hildebrand! Nothing major happens in the overall plot, but it was still a lot of fun to read.

First off, I love the cover. Super adorable! I also love the inside illustration, as that was such a cool moment in the book.

I loved this book. So many fun events and developments happening, plus we're at one of my favorite locations--that being the Royal Academy.

The Prologue is told from Charlotte's POV, which is always nice, and I enjoyed getting to see her introduction to the Royal Academy.

I like how it takes until Volume 6 in this arc to form an actual Library Committee, and it happens very differently than I expected, but it was still nice to see this arc's title actually happening, plus there's still plenty of surprises with it, and a new mystery.

Rozemyne learns more magic, which she always makes quite entertaining, and a certain moment made me laugh quite hard. I love how she causes trouble without even trying. I especially love that this book really starts to dive into magic circles and the basics of how they work. What seemed like a stagnant thing is actually much more complex and nuanced, and I'm eager to see where the series goes with them.

Also, Hildebrand. I don't consider this a spoiler, as I think it's quite obvious by now that Rozemyne would end up running into him again. I love him so much, and the dynamic between him and Rozemyne is nice while causing plenty of trouble for everyone else. :P

Then there's an exciting incident near the end of this book that causes some ripples of chaos--much of which is left to be dealt with in future volumes. More worldbuilding is always nice. Staying vague on this for spoilers, but, like I said at the start of this review, the color illustration for this was one of my favorite moments (and is full of so much mystery).

Shortly after this, there's a moment that absolutely cracks me up. I think it might be the funniest moment in the whole series thus far, as I could not stop laughing. It still makes me chuckle just thinking about it.

This feels like a really long review, but there's just so much that happened in this book that I love. Probably one of my favorite volumes.

As for the Epilogue, it's told in Sylvester's POV, and it's glorious. It's basically just Sylvester, Ferdinand, and Karstedt reading the reports Rozemyne, Wilfried, and Charlotte send them, but it is beyond hilarious. XD I love the accompanying illustration as well.

Bonus story time. The first one is told in Roderick's POV. I won't mention too much for spoilers, but since I didn't mention it for the main book, this gives a glimpse into Roderick's thoughts for what he has resolved to do about his future. I'm really glad the author seems to have the same soft spot I've had for him since he was introduced, and I'm excited for what is to come.

The second bonus story is from Professor Rauffen's POV, and it deals with investigating the incident that happened near the end of this book. It was quite... interesting, and I'm really curious as to the truth of it all.

The bonus comics are fun, though nothing too special. My favorite is the last one, as it just elaborates on how nothing of Earth's romance culture is acceptable in this new world.

Overall, I absolutely loved this book. I love being back in the Royal Academy, and there were just so many fun and interesting developments in this book. More is being learned about the world and the magic system, but there are also several mysteries being introduced (some more pressing than others). The humor is great as always, and the art never disappoints.

Just like all the ascendance of w book worm books there is some kind of drama either at the end or the middle. I love how well written this is and how flushed out the details are of the lore. Again I’m so shocked of how far I have come this is book 18. I can’t wait for the next book (till June)

7/10. **Light spoilers**
This volume felt as a snail running a full speed. So much happened in a short period of time. It isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but sadly the whole volume felt a a collection of the most boring aspects of AoaB. Prince Hildebrand, the shumils clothes and Roderick; all those were longer than they needed to be. I understand the importance of setting the bases of new elements of the story and continuing with what there was before, but more than half of the volume centered on that seems like a little too much. The water gun felt kind of dumb. The epilogue was unncessary as well. The extra perspective in the events, even though interesting, didn’t bring value. We know Ferdinand, Sylvester and Karstedt are frustrated and mad at Rozemyne for everything they have read in the reports without having an epilogue talk about it. I viewed it as a comedy skit with no other purpose as to be funny.

Also, no one questioning Rozemyne before the big event ocurred about making the gods weapons and objects is quite strange. Everyone’s surprised that’s even possible and the next day nothing has an effect in Rozemyne or Ehrenfest. There seems to be no cause and effect. Rozemyne is disrespectful to the prince and she walks free. It got me thinking, if she were and adult, Would she get in problems? Is it plot armor or something to do with how young she looks. Something feels off about it.

Any way, I liked reading this volume. It is by no means great, and it is the worst so far, but, as a continuation of the story I love so much, it always makes me want to keep reading. I am still waiting for the storm to come, as it feels drawing nearer with every chapter.

As Rozemyne grows stronger physically, her mind seems to get less strong? Not the plot of the book, just an observation (one shared by at least one of the characters). She is ridiculously book-obsessed to the point of causing chaos. Considering how far she's come since waking in the body of a child in some medieval style world, I really thought she'd have matured. That frustrates me - someone as clever as Rozemyne should have figuted out a way to either navigate the social complexities or found a coach she'd actually listen to.

Despite that frustration, I keep reading. Myne is racing through the second year at the Academy. Well, not really a year, I don't understand that either. Everyone has classes in the fall, socializes in very prescribed ways, then goes home for the Winter, Spring, and Summer. She causes much trouble with her failure to grasp the need to check with anyone before leaping ahead with ideas. Honestly, Harry Potter at his angstiest has more pause for thought.

And yet, I keep reading. Sooooo, yes, this one was interesting and I'd like to know where all this stuff is heading. Someone has let a very dangerous fellbeast loose in Ehrenfest's school gathering ground. There are all sorts of subplots, people to distrust, and espionage. I think it's supposed to mimic court life in medieval Europe. I do prefer the books that focus on more tangible progress in things to make life better.

And yet, I keep reading....

Currently, this is one of my favorite novels.
It had an anime adaptation and is now on season 3.

At first, the MC seems selfish and childish, but she gradually changes.
The world-building, the characters, and the relationships are something that I could say are beautiful.
There isn’t much romance (if can be said any at all), and yet the bonds between friendship and family that the characters have are beautiful enough that they could replace any romantic story.
There are also many funny scenes. The things the MC made are all interesting too.
At first, I read the manga, but since the story is getting more and more interesting, I search for the translation, and now getting stuck waiting for the next chapter

Really glad that I could continue the series. I still wish Miya Kazuki paid more attention at grasping the old-timey fantasy talk that she only reincorporates when thematically required. Such a wondrous chance to speak in a form of tongues just thrown to the wayside. It was especially jarring after finishing The Aeneid and noticing the similarities in the approach when done, then how modern it becomes when not. Although the simplistic language might be more for the target audience, as these aren't a particularly difficult read.

Pavisam noteikti notikumi skolā ir interesanti, nekā ārpus tās. Sāku pamanīt cik ļoti lielu ietekmi, ko Ferdinands ir atstājis uz Rozmyne. Māceklis līdzinās Skolotājam. Šis skolas gads ne pavisam nav mierīgs. Rozmyne kā jau katrā grāmatā atklāj, ko jaunu, kas liekas nākotnē radīs negatīvas sekas. Neprognozējams var būt bīstams. Varbūt redzēs to vērību un kāds augstāks spēks to vēlēs iegūt savā īpašumā. Man patīk mazā prinča un Rozmyne kombinācija. Gaidu to mirkli, kad Rozmyne tik bieži vairs nezaudēs samaņu. Šī bija jauka grāmata.

Odio a ahren lo que sea... Ya se que todo es culpa de la maldita hermana de silvestre la Gabriela. Y odio mucho a diel no se que, su perra hija. En otras notas, el príncipe es tan tierno, obvio que se enamoró de rozemyne. Vengo con la duda de que hazmut está enamorado del rozemyne? O quién será la chica que lo acompañara en la fiesta, de cornelious ya se que es Leonora, re obvio, esperemos que al precioso de mi corazón Damuel no lo hagan esperar hasta Philippe. Ya estoy como Ferdinand, por dios necesitas ya madurar cabeza dura Rozemyne!! Aunque me muero de risa con el epílogo.

RoseMyne returns to the Royal academy, and stirs up more trouble. She becomes friends with a member of the royal family, she wasn't supposed to meet. has to fight off a dangerous beast, using magic, she's not supposed to know. She does spend time at the Library, as usual.

Wow, this is the 18th volume of this series, and they are all a little longer length, than most light novels. This is typical of the series, lots of fun, and Rosemyne causing trouble, and her retainers trying to make the best of it.

I can’t believe I’m still this exciting reading this many books in the series in a row

This series is just fast paced and the characters are so amazing that you want to keep reading. And I’m so excited that there’s three more of them now! This author is so good at keeping the tension up and yet keeping you wanting to know more and more about the lives of these characters. I really love her short stories they give you different perspectives of the story. Onto the next!

Rozemyne seem to have the weird habit of expecting and accepting scolding from most adults, thinking that not receiving one is actually scarier, she did seem to enjoy getting scolded by Benno before, maybe it's comforting to her for some reason. The magic tools clothes are changed, causing Rozemyne to get close to royalty once again.

The epilogue with the adults left in Ehrenfest panicking at each new report was very funny.

This volume seems to be a shallow Harry Potter clone as Rozemyne once again leads her classmates to acedemic excellance and this year amazies all of her teachers with her unusual magic abilities.
As per earlier in this story arc, Rozemyne casts blessings, starts trends, and mixes with Nobels and Royalty all while causing headaches for her guardians.( Rinse, lather and repeat with Rymsham.)

I wish they would just let her attend school. This was a pretty tight volume covering a very small amount of time. And really our hero doesn't do anything wrong. And barely gets to read at all. But interesting and good. There was one solid battle which shows off much that our hero knows and can do. A pleasant read. 3.5 of 5.

The one with Hildebrand getting pulled into the library committee (pour one for poor Hannelore, trying her best to not step on royal toes). We've got divine instruments from the goblin schtappe! The Veronica faction kids have to make hard choices, and an attack by mana-absorbing feybeast causes chaos and investigations.

Good Book with All of Rozmyne's (Mis)adventures

Rozemyne has proceded in the Academy in Year 2.
And a lot has happened. So much, that her guardians are again left with their heads aching and blood pressure rising.

Enjoyable read, not so much controvery which like the last parts.

Fantastic book, as is usual for Ascendance, but it was a bit light on moving the story forward so I'm going 4½ rounded down. That being said, this one looks to be setting things up for the future and is entertaining nontheless.

Mere weeks into her second years in Royal Academy, I believed she had earned the title of Rampaging Rozemyne in the mind of all her guardians. It was frankly hilarious how badly Rozemyne can screw things up even when she honestly tried her best to lead a 'peaceful' life in the academy.

This was so good... Ah, Rozemyne is so oblivious; it's actually hilarious, especially with all the epilogue stories that have everyone else's POVs. I enjoyed watching her make a lot of mistakes but learning along the way.
