As snow falls around Ahrensbach’s castle, Ferdinand, soon to be married to the duchy’s next archduchess, receives a concerning letter. Not only has Rozemyne been summoned by the royal family once again, but she is also being taken to the underground archive hidden beneath the Royal Academy’s library. Even as a third-year, she proves to be a source of constant headaches—and the chaos only continues when she manages to pull an unexpected figure into her joint research! The stakes are raised higher still when Lestilaut makes an astonishing suggestion, forcing her to participate in a game of bride-taking ditter with Leidenschaft’s spear in hand. Rozemyne’s hand in marriage hangs in the balance in the newest volume of this biblio-fantasy. Includes two short stories and four-panel manga by You Shiina.
Kazuki started writing novels when she was in her second year of junior high school. After taking an entrance exam, she entered into a national university before graduating and becoming busy with work, stopping her from writing. Once she was married and her child entered kindergarten, Kazuki had more free time, which she used to start writing again. From 2013 onwards, she started publishing her novel Ascendance of a Bookworm on the user-generated novel publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō which saw success. In 2015, she officially debuted with said series under the T.O. Books imprint.
With Part 5 being the big finale (I think) it’s no wonder each volume is gonna go balls to the wall out.
Several volumes back Sylvester announced Wilfried and Rozemyne’s engagement. Never had I thought it would actually go through. I always assumed Rozemyne would end up in the sovereign somehow, and I think last volume showed us how. The only thing left in the way was to separate Wilfried and I do believe that’s what this volume sets up.
Now that everyone realizes how important Rozemyne is other duchies are vying for her hand in marriage. We also get some more world building with the archive room and we get to witness many stunning rituals.
This volume was action packed and I cannot wait for the next (3 months away!!).
Once again, the Part 2 manga MAY be my #1 (or maybe not), but this book has at least definitely overtaken Part 4 Vol 7 as my favourite light novel! I KNEW this was going to be a top, elite light novel in the series when I saw "Bride-Taking Ditter" in the contents page list. I mean PLEASE, THAT'S HILARIOUS. Too damn good!
This book was non-stop with addictive, page-turning events! Just BLISS. Don't let the dates fool you; I read everything from the first page till the end of the Epilogue in 1 day. I was only forced to stop by night time and left the post-Epilogue short story POVs until the next day. ~
My notes here may be out of order considering I had the unfortunate displeasure of being forced to read this novel off a PDF this time and not being able to save my highlights/thoughts:
• attitude was a pleasant surprise. I previously thought I'd hate him until Anastasius was kind about him in the last part of the prior book. So while it wasn't whiplash, it was a relief.
• The - FINALLY. Not only was I highly invested, but it proved extremely relevant later too, what with the information and magic Rozemyne uses afterwards. But the novel knows what it's doing; it didn't give me all the answers by banning us from going back in for more until the future.
• Dunkelfelger's Ditter ritual was enlightening! Not only were those... flashes, shall we say, a new element to watch out for, but I like how Hannelore's contribution with comes back into play later as one of Rozemyne's strategies during the final Ditter match of this novel.
• Gosh, I wanted to hit the other duchies all at once with one long, winding slap. It annoyed me just hearing about all the slander about the let alone Rozemyne having to actually sit through all the frustrating tea parties and hear them one at a time, back to back, in real time!
• ^Ooof, that moment with Rozemyne and Wilfried arguing after Detlinde's tea party feels so real and raw... Charlotte was MVP there. • ^^Also, I like how Rozemyne felt more 3-dimensional in this book. I.e. she used realistic sarcasm and frustration with That isn't to say she was ever flat as a protagonist, but she just felt like a real person here who isn't perfectly divine or experiencing one emotion at a time, but rather flawed when under scrutiny, separation, and pressure. Even better, she's relatable when doing so and debatably justified since we're all complex people and don't always want the 'right thing' to be done for bad situations.
• I have never been more excited for a Dedication Ritual. Hype hype hype! Words don't do it justice. I felt like I was in the Hartmut cult of fanatics reading that chapter!
• No breather afterwards since we went straight to the library and partially hinted at something I've been waiting for for multiple books now: I await answers with bated breath.
• I don't know how long it was for, but between AT LEAST Chapter "Tea Parties and Negotiations" and the Epilogue, I DID NOT WANT TO PUT THE BOOK DOWN. A minimum of 6 chapters, but probably much longer; my eyes were glued to the book, the outside world was dead to me - SO INTENSE. So many things happened, and all because Lestilaut (and everyone really, as we can see from that sudden conclusion) wants a I'm not sure any Ditter match could ever top that one, and I'm so glad Miya Kazuki said it kept taking up more space, as she wrote it over what was initially her plan of some Raimund and Hirschur lab work. Nah nah, that Ditter match, in all its glory, needed that longer portion dedicated to it. All the things that occurred in it, the tenseness, the stakes, the tactics, and the use of new aspects explored in the previous chapters' research projects and - it was perfectly done.
My only nitpick is that I couldn't care about Lueuradi enough to warrant her post-Epilogue POV being essentially a recap of events from this book. It's funny for Sylvester since he's a key player and his headache-induced reactions are comic relief, but Lueuradi is a new character we just don't have a bond with, nor do we need her serious (boring) views in the form of a summary of events. But this is so minor that I can write it off as almost not being part of the book, since it's after the Epilogue. ~
I do have 3 major questions I'm left with after certain mysterious events: • (1) "Not enough prayer," says the schumil magic tool after (Or something leading to it?) • (2) Is Rozemyne the sub-titular "avatar" of • (3) During the blessings given for the joint research speed Ditter game rituals and when Rozemyne obtained ~
I'll leave this review off with one potential meta-foreshadowing quote from Hannelore that I agree with and have worried about for the future of this series itself: “My one concern is that this author sometimes writes bittersweet tales of love. They are very beautiful, but if Fernestine meets a tragic end, well... I just do not know what I will do."
Another excellent addition to the series. I was not expecting things to get so tense so quickly, this only being the second volume of this arc.
The Prologue is told from Ferdinand's POV, and it was great actually being able to see him. Life doesn't seem quite as bad as I feared for him, but there's little doubt things will get worse once Detlinde graduates from the Royal Academy (unless something drastic happens). Not that his life still doesn't suck, as he has to constantly put on an act and keep his guard up, but it's also interesting to see him learning more about his new home and how things are progressing there.
Then there's the main story. I loved getting to learn what's in the archive. It seems like quite an important place, and I'm eager to see what more knowledge is learned from it come future volumes.
The various research projects continue, with the focus being on the project with Dunkelfelger. This project quickly balloons in size/scope, which is hard to talk about without spoilers, but... Rozemyne is terrible at doing what she's told through no real fault of her own. XD
This is a natural continuation of expanding the magic system from the prior book, and I love how much Rozemyne is focused on helping others realize the importance of religion/rituals simply because she knows it will help the country in the long run. While it is still largely personal to her, it is a sign of how much she's grown in that it really doesn't have much to do with books.
I don't know how to talk about this next part without spoilers, so I'll keep it brief, but Rozemyne just gets herself more and more involved with the Royal Family, and I love it. I wasn't expecting things to get to this level in this volume, but I'm excited to see where it goes form here.
As for Rozemyne actually socializing this year, ...oof. She tries so hard to fix the misconceptions and rumors surrounding her, Ferdinand, and Ehrenfest, but to no avail. It just continues to make the whole situation heartbreaking.
Quick side note, while I understand why the project with Raimund doesn't get much time, the project with Drewanchel is just odd to me. I didn't bring it up with my review of the previous volume because of spoilers, but it's no longer a spoiler here. Honestly, the project is a bit unclear to me because of how little focus it gets, but the research seems to be on things that are trade secrets in Ehrenfest. It was made clear Drewanchel isn't likely to learn much about the process of paper, but it still seems a super risky project. Yet, it's hardly brought up at all since Rozemyne isn't directly involved.
Which is another odd thing to me. This project has to do with paper, which is related to books, yet Rozemyne doesn't seem to care at all. She doesn't even seem curious as to how the project is going or anything. I get she is SUPER busy and has too much on her plate, plus she has gotten super focused/motivated on how important religion is to the magic, but it's still just odd to me. Maybe that's just me, though.
This issue doesn't take away from my enjoyment at all, though. I mean, focusing more on that wouldn't have really added to much at this point, the plot so far past paper, but I just wish Rozemyne showed a bit more interest into how that project was going or whatnot.
As for the big climax of this book... The plot blurb gives it away, so it's not a spoiler in my eyes, but Lestilaut from Dunkelfelger is after Rozemyne for a bride. It all comes down to a game of ditter, and it's very obvious Ehrenfest is at a severe disadvantage. I had not expected such a sequence of events to occur, and I was on the edge of my seat with no clue how Ehrenfest was going to win or even if they would. I had not been prepared for so much stress in this volume.
The Epilogue is from Hannelore's POV, detailing her side of the climax as well as showing the aftermath of events that Rozemyne was not privy to. It's rather sweet.
Bonus story time. The first is from Lueuradi's POV, she from Jossbrenner. I enjoyed seeing her viewpoint of one of Rozemyne's ceremonies, and it's a nice reminder that while Rozemyne might be panicking during certain events, to most others she really does appear to be a saint.
The second story is from Sigiswald's POV. It might be a spoiler just stating that, but I'm so happy to get his perspective on everything, as he has been an important off-screen character for so long. His dynamic with his family is different than I was expecting, but I enjoyed it. I love seeing his resolve as well.
The third story is from Sylvestor's POV, and it's another fun addition of him reading the reports from the Royal Academy and freaking out with each report. XD There's not much more to say about that other than it's always fun to get an adult noble's perspective on what Rozemyne has been up to. It is also nice the third research project I was complaining about earlier gets a moment of focus here, even if it is fairly brief.
Then there are the bonus comics. None of them stand out to me this round, but they're all still good.
As for the art, it's great as always. I love the inner color illustration. The color scheme is a bit different from normal, I love Rozemyne's expression, and the detail is so intricate and intimidating. The cover illustration is great, too. It really took me by surprise to see Rozemyne ready for battle, but it fits perfectly for the climax of this volume.
Overall, another great addition to the series. Rozemyne is continuing to deepen her understanding of religion and magic, and she is also trying to help others understand these same connections. She gets involved all the more with the Royal Family, plus there is plenty of tension when a higher-ranking duchy finds a way to put her engagement on the line.
Rozmyne saknes ar karalisko dzimtu aug, un viņas vērtība citu valsts acīs aug. Pirmā cīņa, kurā divu valsts liktenis tiek izlemts.
Liek domāt, lai varētu karaliskā dzimta iegūt svētību no dieviem būs nepieciešama Rozmyne iesaiste. Iespējams karaliskā dzimta vēlēsies iegūt viņu savā īpašumā un karš sāksies. Pagaidām par šāda scenāriju vēl netiek runāts, bet spriedze aug.
As Lady Rozemyne goes about her business conducting cross-duchy research, negotiating new conditions for book and knowledge exchanges, and prodding her friends and family for their promised support . . . as Rozemyne does what Rozemyne does, everyone is sucked into the vicious currents that follow. ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v23 is a good example of a story in which everything goes according to plan, while simultaneously, everyone is burdened with horrendous anxiety.
After all, Rozemyne can't conduct cross-duchy research without stepping on toes, irking a few nobles, and raising her own duchy's expectations; Rozemyne can't talk-up her love of books without realizing that making someone like Professor Rauffen addicted to reading (about ditter, of course) will have its own side effects; and Rozemyne can't blithely send a report back home saying she accidentally scheduled a Dedication Ritual at the Royal Academy (for research into prayer ceremonies), for which Crown Prince Sigiswald has invited himself . . .
Or, she can, actually, but that's all part of the fun, isn't it? ("According to the letter, our situation here in the Royal Academy had blown so far out of proportion that Florencia had fainted upon reading my report," page 148).
ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v23 is an interesting volume, because the first half of the book covers genial fare: the characters chat, go to class, detail a bit more of their interduchy research, and so forth. Notably, Lady Hannelore of Dunkelfelger earns a sizeable role in this volume's events. The humble archduke candidate with pink twintails holds more power and skill than she's aware of, and her relationship with Ehrenfest becomes a sticking point going forward. And that's when the drama begins. And, unsurprisingly, it's all Lestilaut's fault.
Elsewhere, the current volume pokes its nose a little deeper into Yurgenschmidt's history. Within the novel's first 50 pages, Rozemyne engages a curious, if sometimes fraught discussion with all three royal princes on the nature and function of the Royal Academy's library, as well as the contents of a mysterious underground archive few rarely enter. Who can enter the underground archive? What knowledge does this archive house? And why is the archive's existence being hidden from current royalty?
Answering these questions requires more than a few pithy observations from a royal summons; one must investigate first-hand, if one is to discern the truth. (And while Anastasius' hilarious "big brother" energy scolds Rozemyne for back-talking Sigiswald, it turns out the Crown Prince is fairly a nice and reasonable fellow.)
The mix of passive and active worldbuilding hasn't always been this novel series' strong suit, but readers should enjoy this library expedition as a proxy for questioning the nation's history (e.g., What is the nation's history, who authored it, and who has access to it?).
To this end, Rozemyne is getting better at maneuvering around and manipulating the nobility. Detlinde is getting cocky, but nobody cares because the girl's ignorance will surely see her crashing and burning before long. Archnobles from Jossbrenner and Immerdink try to sneak into Rozemyne's good graces, but the bookworm pulls a fast one and offers "a refined cackle" in rebuke. Dunkelfelger is the only outlier.
A confrontation between Wilfried and Lestilaut focuses on whether Ehrenfest is making the most of Rozemyne's unique mind and abilities: taunts turn into insults, and insults turn into challenges that cannot be rescinded. Ditter, of course, is the proposed solution. But what's the prize? And at what cost? The whole, extended Third Act of ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v23 is pure suspense. How these two duchies get into this scrum; how these two duchies abuse their resources to gain an advantage; how these two duchies' most powerful fighters step up their game; and how these two duchies underestimate the very people they tend to sacrifice when barricaded by vituperative egos will keep readers on edge for the book's final 95 pages.
For the drama alone, ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v23 is a memorable volume. One enjoys reading books for which the author's affection for her characters never bends or breaks; this author won't betray their readers.
Professor Fraularm is insecure and pompous, sure; Lestilaut is an unforgivable jackass, obviously; and Rablut, the Sovereign Knight Commander, has a habit of changing his allegiances, true . . . but nobody gets away with everything, nobody succeeds 100% of the time, and nobody's ambition is without consequence.
Similarly, Wilfried's kindness is often shortsighted, sure; Prince Hildebrand's affections are incomplete and unrequited, obviously; and Lady Hannelore just wants a friend, true . . . but nobody who deserves agency is left without recourse, nobody fails 100% of the time, and nobody is without the support they need to make a difference, no matter how late in the game they need it ("As an archduke candidate raised in the duchy of warfare, Hannelore seldom had people offer to protect her," page 299).
Los personajes tan entrañables y únicos como siempre ( otros inesperados ), una trama tan hermosa que te mantienen atrapado por completo, descripciones y datos excelentes, más descubrimientos, muchos lios, estrategias y muchas más emociones y sentimientos
No importa cuanto pase el tiempo esta Ratona sigue metiendose en muchos lios 😅
Mientras la nieve cae alrededor del castillo de Ahrensbach, Ferdinand, que pronto se casará con la próxima archiduquesa del ducado, recibe una carta preocupante...
Rozemyne no sólo ha sido convocada por la Familia Real una vez más, sino que también ha sido llevada al Archivo Subterráneo oculto bajo la Biblioteca de la Real Academia
Incluso siendo de tercer año, demuestra ser una fuente de constantes dolores de cabeza, y el caos no hace más que aumentar cuando consigue involucrar a un personaje inesperado en su investigación conjunta
Las apuestas se elevan aún más cuando Lestilaut hace una sugerencia asombrosa, obligándola a participar en un juego de Toma de Novia con la Lanza de Leidenschaft en la mano
¿ Dejará de ocasionar problemas... ?
❤️📖❤️
La Ratona demostró su enorme paciencia 😅
Lidiar con personas a las que por más les expliques las situaciones no entienden o se hacen los idiotas es frustrante, por eso fue admirable que los soportará con tanta entereza
( Yo realmente quería golpearlos, así que ame cuando se vengo un poco de ellos 😈 )
Sin embargo eso hace que sea notable como poco a poco va siendo mejor ocultando sus sentimientos, aunque la mayor razón para contenerse es que no desea que lastimen a sus seres queridos
También demuestra su fuerza de voluntad para proteger lo que valora, utilizando su gran ingenio para enfrentar lo que sea para seguir el camino que eligió
Porque ella no va a renunciar a las personas que ama, por nada ni nadie va a permitir que corten sus lazos con lo que más aprecia y valora
Realmente es muy bello ver más de su evolución y fortaleza
Además su amor por los libros se va contagiando a los demás 🤭
😍❤️😍
❤️📖❤️
Incluso si su propósito es evitar problemas Rozemyne, termina envuelta en ellos, empeorandolos con sus ideas e incontenible amor por los libros
Mientras continuo con su siclo académico por orden de la Familia Real, se convirtió en dueña de una de las llaves que abren un archivo especial en la biblioteca...
En la temporada de socialización en la Academia, se vio obligada a asistir a muchas fiestas de té, en las cuales los implicados hipócritas no dejaban de hablar mal de Sylvester y de su familia...
La Ratona por más que trato aclarar la situación, no puedo con esos idiotas...
Se lamento muchísimo no haber podido ir al Templo este año... 😅
Por otra parte, notando la importancia de rezar a los Dioses, decidió hacer una investigación en conjunto, para demostrar su punto a todos los que desprecian el Templo y las Ceremonias Religiosas...
Eso la llevo a observar 2 rituales de Dunkelfelger, y a su vez a realizar el Ritual de Dedicación en la capilla de la Academia, eso en conjunto a la Realeza y otros Ducados...
( De hecho como un montón de hipócritas querían participar en la investigación, para vegarze un poco se ellos los mando con los " Locos del Ditter ", a jugar contra ellos si querían participar y de paso evitar el juego ella 😈🤣 )
Como si tales despliegues de magia y conocer al Zent, no fueran suficientes para casi infartar a sus tutores, Ehrenfest termino envuelto en un partido de Ditter contra Dunkelfelger ( ellos son " Los Locos del Ditter " 😅 ), en el que se apostó el compromiso de la Ratona
Ehrenfest lucho con todo lo que tienen y más, inesperadamente el juego se volvió un caos cuando intrusos se metieron al juego...
La situación fue de lo más inesperada y extraña...
❤️📖❤️
Y bueno todas estas pobres almas terminaron envueltas en el Huracan Rozemyne
🤣🤣🤣
En fin
Hannelore definitivamente es la Santa de Dunkelfelger
Ella es tan linda, siempre esforzándose para aprender y avanzar
Aunque también es propensa a terminar en problemas por su hermano, curiosidad, sencillez y su mala suerte...
Ella termino haciendo una bendición real son proponerselo 🤭
No llega al nivel Ratona, en cuanto a terminar en problemas ( nadie sería capaz de llegar a ese nivel ), pero por ahí va 😅🤣
La Adorooooo
***
Debo decir que se sintió un tanto raro cuando Schwartz y Weiss ya no llamaban a la Ratona " Mi Lady ", por momentos
Pero al final y sin siquiera proponerselo a vuelto a ser su maestra 😅
***
Algo que me pareció muy bello es el nuevo título que han recibido los Caballeros de Rozemyne
Como en Dunkelfelger quienes estudian Erudición se hacen llamar
" Eruditos de la Espada "
Ya que son hábiles en la lucha
Pues la Ratona pensó que sus Caballeros eran dignos del nombre
" Los Caballeros de la Pluma "
Eso porque son realmente hábiles con la escritura o recopilando información 🤭
De hecho es maravilloso ver como todos los asistentes de Rozemyne se llevan y ayudan tanto entre ellos
❤️❤️❤️
***
Mi odio a Detlinde va creciendooooo
Es que es una hipocrita, interesada, pegada a si misma y narcisista
Es que al igual que la Ratona, una parte de mi quiere burlarse de ella, porque la versión " amable " de Ferdinand, logra engañala por completo
Lo cierto es que se merece el engaño 😈
Admiro la paciencia de la Ratona para no golpearla, porque yo lo habría hecho con gusto...
De paso también habría golpeado a Wilfried por preocuparse por la bruja narcisista y no por Ferdinand 🙄
( Se merece un chanclaso... )
***
Siento mucha pena por los tutores de Rozemyne, especialmente por Florencia
😅
Es que los informes con los desmadres de la Ratona, no debieron ser nada sencillos de leer
🤣🤣🤣
Y aun faltan años académicos...
Me pregunto si sobreviviran...
***
Es realmente fascinante ver como los personajes son arrastrados por los desastres de la Ratona 🤣
Ya quiero ver en que otro problema terminan
❤️📖❤️
Para alegría de la Ratona al fín pudo conocer el Archivo Secreto de Biblioteca de la Real Academia
Yeeeeiiiii
( Imaginar ese lugar fue hermosooooo Realmente entiendo la felicidad de la Ratona de ir ahi y la tristeza de no poder entrar a su antojo 🥺 )
❤️❤️❤️
Resulta que es un archivo subterráneo, que solo se puede abrir con 3 llaves pertenecientes a los Archibibliotecarios correspondientes
Dichas llaves estaban en una sala especial, pero ahí solo pueden entrar los " Guardianes del Conocimiento "
Estos son aquellos que juran lealtad a la Mestionora, la Diosa de la Sabiduría
Para recuperarlas la bibliotecaria que envió la Soberanía tuvo que hacer el juramento respectivo y recuperarlas ( Solange no podía ya que no tenia suficiente maná )
Al Archivo Subterráneo, solo pueden entrar un número selecto de Candidatos a Archiduque, un miembro de la Familia Real, Schwartz y Weiss
Los libros y documentos de dicho archivo, solo pueden ser leídos en ese lugar, no se prestan, por ello si se quiere tener copia de algún libro o documento lo debe transcribir quién entra y lo necesita
( Claro la Realeza puede ordenar a uno, o a los Candidatos a Archiduque que entran que les transcriban documentos 🙄 )
Para su felicidad la Ratona como Candidata a Archiduquesa puede entrar 🤭
Aunque sus guardianes le dijeron que no entrara de momento, no tuvo opción cuando se lo ordenaron ( claro ella feliz con la orden 😅 )
Para aclarar las llaves ahora pertenecen a Hortensia la bibliotecaria que envió la Soberanía, Hannelore de Dunkelfelger y Rozemyne de Ehrenfest
Las dos últimas recibieron llave porque no hay más bibliotecarios, y como son Candidatas a Archiduquesas, lógicamente pueden entrar al Archivo Subterráneo
❤️📖❤️
Un poco de los rituales que se dan acá con el fin de las investigaciones en las que andan estas almas
En Dunkelfelger como un ducado especializado en la lucha, realiza 2 rituales cuando van a batallas del tipo que sea
El primero lo realizan antes de la batalla, y esta dedicado a Leidenschaft, el Dios del Fuego y sus subordinados ( especialmente a los de guerra, fuerza y velocidad ), la oración en sí también está en la Biblia de la Ratona
Bueno Rozemyne como esta acostumbrada a realizar, estaba feliz por ver un ritual realizado por alguien más
Pero cuando le pidieron que realizara el mismo ritual para comparar...
Las cosas se salieron de control, ya que utilizo y creo un Instrumento Divino, y sin proponerselo termino dando una bendición a gran escala, y eso ocasionó algunos problemas...
El segundo ritual de Dunkelfelger es realizado después de la batalla
Aunque esa sí fue una sorpresa para la Ratona, ya que Hannelore utilizo y creo el bastón de Verfuhremeer, la Diosa de los Océanos ( una subordinada de Flutrane, la Diosa del Agua ), descubriendo que dicho ritual regresaba las bendiciones concedidas a los Dioses...
Aunque nadie de Dunkelfelger sabía que en efecto el bastón era un Instrumento Divino
**
La Ratona tuvo que realizar el Ritual de Dedicación, ya que ese era el acuerdo con Dunkelfelger
Lo realizo en el Santuario de la Sala Más Lejana en la Real Academia, como dije antes en tal ritual participaron la Familia Real, Candidatos a Archiduque y Archinobles
Más para evitar problemas Ehrenfest proporsino lo necesario ( Hartmut se termino colando a la ceremonia 🤣 ), y la Ratona creo el Cáliz de Geduldh, la Diosa de la Tierra
Como en tal ceremonia tampoco pueden haber guardias, todos los participantes tuvieron que pasar por el Escudo de Schutzaria, la Diosa del Viento
Pero no se quedó ahí, debido a su gran cantidad de maná Rozemyne tuvo que dar una gran bendición, para ello tuvo que crear el Bastón de Flutrane, la Diosa del Agua, todo eso mientras sostenía el Cáliz de Geduldh
Es decir
¡¡ Creo 2 Instrumentos Divinos a Vez !!
Un instrumento es algo demasiado asombroso y difícil de creer, dos ni les digo
*
El maná recogido fue dado a la Soberanía para el bien de Yurgenschmidt y el que sobro a la Biblioteca de la Real Academia
( De hecho por eso recupero la maestría de los Shumills, pues su maná era más abundante ya que de escondidas proporciono más al Cáliz... )
Así y para mala suerte de la Ratona la Leyenda de la Santa de Ehrenfest va creciendo
😅❤️
❤️📖❤️
Del partido de Ditter Toma de Novia
Ehrenfest termino en tal partido por la presión de Dunkelfelger
Rozemyne y Hannelore fueron los tesoros, y no estaban nada contentas...
No voy a dar detalles, ya que sin duda fue lo más épico del Volumen
El despliegue de magia, el ingenio, el esfuerzo, todo sin excepción fue enorme, épico y muy emocionante
Así utilizaron muchas de las estrategias únicas, sorprendentes, brutales y terribles del Señor Del Mal 🤭
Y debo agregar que el Instrumento Divino del Templo, la Espada de Ewigeliebe, el Dios de la Vida fue utilizado
Realmente fue..
¡¡ Sublimeeeeee !!
Lastima que los Caballeros de la Soberanía llegaron a interrumpir en nombre del Zent...
Pero el Zent no mando a nadie...
❤️📖❤️
Después de logra utilizar 2 Instrumentos Divinos a la vez, en lo único en que pensaba la Ratona era en esta un paso más cerca de mentor, es decir de Ferdinand
🤣🤣🤣
Definitivamente estos dos son un caos demasiado poderosos, inteligentes, creativos e ingenios
Un peligro para los idiotas que se metan en su camino
😅🤣🤣
❤️📖❤️
Entiendo perfectamente como se siente Rozemyne, cuando alguien no se da cuenta de lo maravilloso y valioso que es Ferdinand
Es excelente Candidato a Archiduque, fue primero de la clase cada año que asistió a la Academia, al mismo tiempo es un científico loco y creativo que capaz de hacer todo lo que se propone, desde el trabajo de erudito, hasta el de caballero o ser el representante de un Aub
Pero la gente no se da cuenta de que a él no le interesa el poder, ni la riqueza ni el estatus, y que es muy leal a los suyos
Por eso duele tanto que debido a rumores haya dejado su hogar y terminado es un ducado donde no le dan libertad de nada y donde no es feliz
Tengo miedo de que traten de hacerle más daño del que ya le han hecho
💔💔💔💔
❤️📖❤️
Han sido demasiadas emociones y sustos...
No hay palabras para expresar la que armo Miya Kazuki en esta parte del viaje
Demasiado increíble y sublime
❤️📖❤️
Todo de inicio a fin, incluyendo las bellas imágenes, fue epico
❤️📖❤️
Ordenes reales, apuestas, locuras, giros inesperados, investigaciones, frustraciones, rituales magicos muy hermosos e importantes, informes, estrategias temibles, negociaciones, un archivo fascinante y el virus del ratón de biblioteca propagándose
Recomendada 1000%
❤️❤️❤️
Todo lo que me importa está en Ehrenfest. No tengo intención de marcharme. Ehrenfest es mi Geduldh
This was packed with one big thing after another. The latter part even had me at the edge of my seat. That was action-filled! The desperation of Ehrenfest versus the pride of Dunkelfelger. I just couldn't stop reading!
In this book, we can clearly see how unrestrained Rozemyne is (and how much rampaging Rozemyne can do) without Ferdinand there to restrain her. She's simply unstoppable now. The only person who can keep her in check is Ferdinand and now everyone is there to witness just how good Ferdinand is in reining Rozemyne is. Rozemyne is blazing through everything!
This book in the series is exciting with a promise of upcoming unrest. The side stories also give more context to the main plot as Rozemyne can have quite the tunnel-vison. Still, I'd say I don't like Sigiswald's short story. Nothing about how it's written, more about him as a character. He gets on my nerves, is all :)
The last ditter game has me blazing through the words! I couldn't stop reading at that part. Lestilaut fought with everything he had, but alas, there were intruders. I couldn't stop smiling whenever he addresses Rozemyne. I just know this man is nurturing a huge, fat crush for our little MC. I'm all here for it.
This one got my hyped! I can't wait to read the next!
Unlike a lot of light novel series I read, Ascendance of a Bookworm manages to still be good and creative even on the 23rd Volume of the series. It usually does that by changing the setting and the focus of the story for each part, which prevents it from becoming repetitive. In the case of Part 5, it is now obvious that the story is changing its focus from the mix of Magic School shenanigans and Ehrenfest internal politics that was Part 4, towards a focus on national (or inter-duchy) politics and the fate of the Kingdom.
It is a bit odd, because in Part 4, Myne's mentors (Ferdinand and Sylvester) repeatedly advised her to avoid meddling with Royalty and higher ranked duchies, only for Myne to disobey, causing random trouble for everyone. But here it switches perspectives and starts showing that Ferdinand and Sylvester were wrong to do so and that Myne's instincts to weave links to Royalty and Great Duchies are the right ones.
First, because Ehrenfest is now a high-ranking duchy thanks to Myne's efforts, and so it is expected to do meddle in national politics and makes allies of other high-ranking duchies and royals. Otherwise, the rest of the country will view Ehrenfest with suspicion and unite against them.
Second, because the Kingdom's situation is really bad and it may collapse if no one is doing anything : the King is well-meaning but incompetent and is driving himself to an early grave trying to recharge the Magic Kingdom batteries. He also lacks legitimacy because he no longer has the Magic Kingdom user instruction manual, and no one else knows where it is. The Crown Prince is an entitled idiot, the Greater Duchies do whatever they want, and the Commander of the Sovereignty Knight Order is planning betrayal. A storm is coming, and if the Kingdom falls, so will Ehrenfest.
In that light, all of Myne's actions actually have a positive effect : she starts by helping the Royal Family open and consult the hidden archives to look for the Kingdom's user instruction manual (no, I am not going to try typing its name, since I doubt I could ever spell it correctly). Then she uses her research into religious rituals to collect mana to help the Royal Family recharge the Magic Kingdom batteries. She also tries to weave strong links with the Greater Duchy of Dunkelfelger through her books and her friendship with Hannelore.
This last part backfires (because of an entitled idiot called Lestilaut), but the resulting bride-stealing ditter match could have been avoided if she for once had disobey Sylvester and Ferdinand and turned to the Royal Family for help. While she won, she had to push herself beyond her limits to do so and that showed that Ehrenfest alone was no longer enough to protect her. She actually seems to have a better handle on the situation than Sylvester and Ferdinand, whose knowledge of national politics and the Kingdom's situation seems to be very outdated as a result of Ehrenfest previous isolation. As smart as those two are, they obviously can no longer keep up with the gremlin.
Right off the bat, I was terrified I wouldn’t enjoy this book 😱. Why? Because I had stopped reading the series over a year ago while waiting for it to be completed, and honestly, I don’t remember a lot of details. Still, I stubbornly refused to look anything up for clarification—no way was I risking spoilers!
As with the previous volumes, the early books in each part seem to focus on setting the stage for the story. So, I went in expecting this one to be just okay. And guess what? It was… just okay—at least at first. Nothing major happened, but oh boy, the second part of this book was so much fun! 🎉 It’s made me extra excited knowing I still have 10 more books to go before the series wraps up.
Compared to other volumes, I usually need to read at least half the parts and get all the information before I feel truly invested. But this time? Lestilaut stole the show and kept me hooked from the get-go.
I have to give a huge shoutout to him! 🙌 His choice of words, his teasing, and the way he delivered every single blow—chef’s kiss! 👏👏 I know his pursuit will likely come to an end after this volume, but oh man, what a ride it was.
For me, there’s no question: Lestilaut was the star of this book. So yeah, this second one? It’s his.
9/10. I don't actually remember what happened exactly. I've been reading week by week the parts of the volumes at J-Novel Club's site and the events kind of overlap. Also, I read a super long novel and it made it hard for me to remember detail of Ascendance. What I do remember about reading the synopsis is that Hannelore becoming enamoured of Wilfried was weird. The only thing he did was give her his help. Also, I remember that Myne talked without any care to the royals which was nice seeing. Some notes I have mention my displeasure of how common it is mentioned of women as practically livestock or breathing wombs. I certainly dislike how Myne has no serious emotions of herself being viewed that way. It sometimes seems to be fully acceptant of this as nothing even think about. This is something that I'll never comprehend about the story. How is there no nobles questioning about their treatment. Obviously there would be backlash, but even a small secret conversation of a side story would be great. The most that's been mentioned is of Drewanchel's archuke candidate and how she lost the position by mere political gains.
Myne cannot help but draw the attention of those around her, whether through her obsession with books, her willingness to help those around her or her large amount of mana and knowledge on forgotten spells found in ancient books. But drawing the attention from others is not always a good thing, because some will try to get what they want in ways that Myne might have trouble dealing with even when it comes from a supposed allied group.
Part 5, volume 2 is a solid and entertaining addition to the series, a nice slice-of-life isekai where cultures clash, and Myne's knowledge of her previous life inadvertently lead to both trouble and unexpected rewards. It was an entertaining read, although I do feel Myne is being blamed a bit too quickly and I do think the kids have a bit too much power at the Academy to impact not just their own lives but that of the whole kingdom. Minor things, but still a bit jarring at times.
Still, a solid read and really curious what comes next.
No kui ditter (selline lahingumäng) maailmast eemaldada, võiks Dunkelfelgeri hertsogkonna ka laiali saata. Dunkelfelgeri hertsogikandidaat Lestilaut on selles osas ka täielik tüütus, et ta ei suuda ega suuda Rozemynet rahule jätta. Vahet pole, mida Rozemyne ise tahab. Ei, teda on vaja "päästma" tulla. Mis sellest, et see päästmine võib peaaegu lõppeda Rozemyne surmaga.
Kuningriigi kuningas muutub ka aina sümpaatsemaks, ent ma kardan et siin võib minna natuke George R. R. Martini stiili, et ta tehakse toredaks ja sümpaatseks ja siis... ta eemaldatakse. Aga äkki enne seda leiab ta siiski üles ka Grutrissheiti ehk maagilise kuningriigi kasutusjuhendi, ent ma ei imestaks, kui Rozemyne ise selle otsa koperdab ja selle lihtsalt oma raamaturiiulisse peidab.
Ahh ja see maa-alune arhiiv! Jeerum! Nagu... terve raamat võiks minu meelest rääkida vaid sellest, mida Rozemyne raamatukogus õpib ja teada saab ja ma neelaks seda ikka samamoodi.
As always, despite her best efforts, Rozemyne does the thing that her parents, guardian, and friends tell her not to do. She gets involved with the royal family. To be fair, it's more of the royal family becoming involved with her, but either way ends up with frustrations and problems for Ehrenfest.
Wilfried is drawn into a game of Bride Stealing Ditter with Hannalore and Rozemyne as the treasures to be stolen. It's interesting to see the male reactions when the women don't fall all over themselves in excitement.
Ditter is the Royal Academy equivalent of Quidditch (in my opinion) and people are as crazy about it, especially Dunkelfelger's students.
Tengo que admitir que fue el volumen más lleno de información, de cosas sucediendo y romance que los demás. Estuvo excelente y vaya que había cosas que esperaba y otras me sacaron por sorpresa. Me encantó el paralelismo entre Rozemyne que estuvo a punto de salir de su escudo cuando lielsant estaba intentando convencerla poniéndole la mano a como convenció Wilfred a la hermana, por dios yo sabía que ella quería a Wilfred. Disfrute el enemies to lovers aunque la verdad ya sabía que Rozemyne no se iba a ir con el lielsant pero era obvio que el bato si la quería, los amuletos de Ferdinand tiraron el paro evitando la que la tocará.

Anything that involved Rozemyne would spin out of control, that was something that everyone should knowby now. And so . One can imagine Sylvester's headaches upon receiving the reports.
Next Wilfried continued making problems, . There won't be any easy victory for Ehrenfest this time as as usual things spiraled out of control once again. Well, shouldn't be surprised by that LOL.
Ferdinand cool but Lestilaut BIKIN AKU DEG2AN, Keren bgt passion, semangat, keras kepalanya 😭. Tpi ya mengikuti streorotip Dunkfelnger apapun masalahmu Ditter jalan keluarnya 🤣. Disini keliatan banget perbedaan antara retrainer Rozemyne sama Arcduke candidates yg lain meski sama-sama Archnoble. Epilognya seruu banget, cuman baca Pov Sigiswald's lelah banget astaga, berasa baca Pov nya Detlinde😭😭🤌. Sukses dah lu dengan ke narsisan lu, baek2 lu Sigiswald jangan sampe nyenggol gremlin kita.
Sesi baca laporan dari royal academy gamungkin berlalu tanpa pusing ingin menjedotkan kepala ke meja 🤣🤣
Rozemyne is now allowed to enter the closed stack archive with the royal family, she did try her best to resist but ultimately couldn't refuse a royal order, inside they found ancient documents about religious rituals.
It's time for Ehrenfest to demonstrate a religious ritual, where Rozemyne once again demonstrates her aptitude for blessings shocking everyone.
Subsequently Lestilaut decides that suck a special woman should belong to Dunkelfelger and propose to her, while trying to refuse Ehrenfest ends up agreeing to settle the dispute with a game of ditter.
I really enjoyed this novel, so much drama! I always enjoyed the nobility plot line and seeing the king was a great. I loved everyones reactions! The ditter game was expected but it was honestly better than I thought it would be, I didn't see the plot twists coming at all! I do wonder when people will find out that the prince fancies Rozemyne, but I imagine it'll happen in time. Still looking forward to the next volume, I hope I enjoy it as much as this one! And I really enjoyed the story about Sylvester at the end too,comma his reactions are always great

A struggle to read after taking a break of a few years. There are so many characters and retainers and duchies and threads that it's hard to keep track.
The gist of the story was understandable though, some bits just flew by me.
I did however remember my age old complaint about the series: there's not that much about books or bookworm like behaviour. However, the story is in its final (very long) arc so the series might get interesting.
Cada que sale un partido de ditter yo me emocionó y más este que fue "especial", desarrolle un soft spot por el Zent, Anastasius cada día sube más en mi podio, se hace querer y por último, las historias cortas estuvieron *chef Kiss* aunque me hubiese gustado leer un poco más de Ferdinand. Pdt: Siempre es divertido ver cómo todos terminan santificando a Rozemyne
This continues to be a complete delight and a reason to get up in the morning. Myne continues to get more sophisticated and her physical age is catching up to her mental age (slowly), but as her obsession with books was part of her entire existence that's not going to get more subtle.
I'm glad that her family, especially Wilfred, as starting to realize that she is something extraordinary.
The opening of this volume was so intriguing with the secret archive! And I loved how Rozemyne tricks the other duchies in connection with the Dedication Ritual! I would have wished the royals wouldn’t distrust her and Ferdinand so much, but I have a feeling they’ll make trouble for them later. The bonus 4-komi manga at the end were super funny!
This directly follows from Part 5 Volume 1. We are still at the Academy and there is a lot of plot. And big events. But super fast readable, this felt a lot shorter than the previous volume. I do wish we got to see more of Ferdinand. And I miss being in the town and the shopkeepers. More and more it seems obvious where this series is going - but I expect a left turn at some point.
Rosemyne is causing more problems at the royal academy. There is a mysterious archive in he Library that only a few people can access. Then problems with Ditter leads to a an unexcepted wedding proposal, and royal family intervention.
This was a fun read. There are funny parts, and the action is still good. We are nearing the conclusion of the story, and I can't wait to see how it ends.
Vast majority of this volume takes place at the Royal Academy as Myne and the rest of Ehrenfest prep for their joint duchy research projects and also play some Ditter. This is another great addition to in my opinion the best available light novel series. Can't wait for the next volume.
The story is progressing throughout the year. Just how many headaches will she give her guardians. Just how many times can she be involved with royalty! Can't wait for the next volume.
