I wouldn’t be surprised if the future looks like this:

Hey where can I find the audiobooks for part 2? I have all of them for part 1 currently and I really want part 2 where the anime needed to cut more

To my knowledge there are no audio-books in English out at this time for part 2. Here is a comment made by an individual on Reddit last year:
"In March one of the J-Novel Club staff said "Gonna be quite a while before Part 2 V1." I imagine that the original contract was for part 1 to see if the audiobooks would be profitable and then the narrator's contract would have to be renegotiated to continue."

I suggest you pose your question to the JNC staff on the Bookworm Audiobook forum.

Ah poor Wilfried, he had to stay behind and not see the glorious victory of Ehrenfest over the Ditterlanders...

(satire, because there are legal things in the way of not cheating the authors out of money. illegal sites exist because people are willing to break the law. some act extremely proud of doing that.)

For Lady Rozemyne
Monika: If I'm going to be embarrassed, I'm taking all the rest of you attendants down with me!

Though [Lessy] looks a tad - well, a lot - more freakish.

I guess Rozemyne really is the only woman around that's into that, huh?

Monika: "So, you're saying, if the High Bishop robes get damaged, the Archduke has to buy Rozemyne a new set?"
Fran: "Put away the scissors, Nicola."
Monika: "...I was only gonna teach the Aub's Son to juggle..."

"Lady Rozemyne's vengeance is something else. She won't punch or kick you,"

I mean, I wouldn't put it past her. She just wouldn't be much good at it...

I think the editor and everyone from the QA team forgot to check the rest of the thread and nothing has been reviewed or applied. I have sent an email to J-novel support.

Oh...it is about how Ferdinand had Arno executed...

After giving the ink a sniff, I held it over fire to see if it would hold. “What? No way! The paper melted! Why’s it coming apart so easily?!”

Is this magic weirdness or just some odd choice of words? When I hold paper over a flame, it does not do anything I would describe as "melt". If it gets too hot, it obviously catches fire, but even before that, it at most flutters a bit.

So, how does this line up with the LN? Cornelius speaking with Elvira before Rozemyne arrived, and him taking her to the estate's book room both come from side stories, so weren't included in my LN summary.

@Libri-Liberorum said in Speculation on Part 3 Anime:

P3V1 (Prologue, 20 main chapters, epilogue, two side stories)

Prologue:

Karst and Ferd plot making R a saint. Necessary

Didn't really happen. The "Saint Rozemyne" plot is referred to in passing after R is tricked into doing the mass blessing.

Karst visits Knights' Order, speaks with Damuel, mind-raping Count Toad mentioned. Cuttable

Cut.

Dinner with Elvira. Necessary

Cut. The Cornelius and Elvira discussion covered a little of the same ground.

Medical examination. Necessary, but might be much abbreviated, skipping Rozemyne trying not to get undressed.

Cut. We'll probably get it next episode. (Although the LN says it wouldn't have been feasible to do this after the adoption.)

Chapter: Examination Results and the Noble's Quarter

R informed she needs to make jureve
Necessary

Hasn't happened yet.

Interacting with retainers - new clothes, winter prep, new furniture ... Much abbreviated or absent

Cut

Ride to Karstedt's place Seen in the trailers

This is where the episode starts

Meeting Elvira Necessary

Included.

“Okay. I will do my best to become a living doll.” If she was so eager to dress me, maybe I could win her over with some rinsham and hairpins, then seal the deal with sweets that she could bring to tea parties.

I hope for a chibi scene of Rozemyne being a doll.

Not included. :-(.

Chapter: Preparing for the Baptism Ceremony

Coprophagic fey beasts introduced. I'll be so disappointed if they skip this. Long live Sludge and Slurp! Also, it is necessary set up for the remodelling of the lower city which happens later.

Included! Although only for a few seconds.

Trading with Gilberta. Should get at least a brief showing

Indeed it was very brief.

Cornelius had been forced to listen to [Elvira gushing about Ferdinand] up until now, and was more than glad to be able to push that role onto me.
“The way I see it, a fellow girl would understand Lord Ferdinand’s attractiveness far more than I would,” he had said.
...Well, not really. I definitely don’t understand it.

Another bit which I'd really like to see but is liable to be cut.

Cut.

I had tried saying that once, but Elvira brushed the idea right off. “My my, Rozemyne. A kind man incapable of plotting or exterminating his enemies is simply no good at all.”

Ditto.

The closest we get is Elvira admiring how Ferdinand manipulated R with the 'bribe' of temple book room keys.

Ferdinand bribes Rozemyne with temple bookroom keys to memorize many names, but she's going to get those keys anyhow. Yet another fun-but-deletable bit.

Included!

Choosing a dress for baptism, with Elvira Skipable. Maybe a short montage. Karstedt appears and has "an exhausted look in his eyes" which we can guess is due to him having had to mind-read Count Toad. If they play out this scene fully, will we see this? (But this follows from Karstedt meeting Damuel after the fight, which is itself liable to be cut.)

A sliver survives in the end-of-episode chibi scene.

Meeting Eckhart and Lamprecht. Probably included. At least Lamprect's surprise-lifting-into-the-air bit.

Included.

Chapter A Noble's Baptism Ceremony

Breakfast with Eckhart. Skippable. Getting dressed, giving ring back to Karstedt. Skippable

Both skipped.

Crying over hairpin: included in the trailers Walking to hall and waiting to enter: skippable, although this does foreshadow Wilfried's propensity to run away, so that bit is likely to be kept.

We see R in the hallway post-crying, but otherwise this bit is skipped.

Baptism: neccessary. We can play spot-the-Hartmut.

They made spot-the-Hartmut game boringly easy.

Chapter Adoption

Sylvester praises Rozemyne. Rozemyne is horrified at how overblown it is. Neccessary. I'm hoping for some good chibi reactions.

No reactions. In fact, I think the post-end-theme bit is the only chibiness we get all episode.

Rozemyne's first anticipation that she might end up married to Wilfried. Becomes avaricious of inkless mana pen. Cuttable, but I want chibi reactions please.

Cut.

Introduction to the archducal family. Neccessary. Brigitte introduced. Neccessary. (Although the entire Brigitte/Damuel subplot is likely to get cut if they're cramming.)

Both kept.

A paragraph covers Rozemyne greeting various unnamed nobles. Very skippable, but if this is animated, we might get a sneak preview of Brunhilde. I speculate that meeting Hartmut didn't happen, so he could be waiting in queue, ideally next in queue when ...

Cut.

Wilfried kidnaps Rozemyne. Neccessary

Included, ending the episode.

Post-collapse treatment by Ferdinand. His plan to teach Wilfried (and Lamprecht) through trauma revealed. Neccessary, but probably stripped of much detail. Karstedt learns of Rozemyne's blessing of Damuel. Probably included.

If they're trying to speed run the entire part in 20 episodes, this is probably about where episode 1 ends. I'm really hoping that instead, this is about where episode 2 ends.

So clearly they are intending to finish in 20ish episodes.

@Rahul-Balaggan said in Has the Bookworm audiobooks been canceled?:

Hi,

We apologize for the delay. It has not been cancelled.

We have no information on release dates to provide at this time. But we can confirm it is being worked on to move forward.

Fingers crossed it won't be much longer!

There will be more than 10 manga volumes in part 3 as part 3 has one more LN to adapt than part 2 did (my guess is 12-13 volumes, but you never know).

That's an underestimate since the Part 2 manga is 13 volumes and volume 9 of the Part 3 manga hasn't even reached the half-way point.

As a bonus below is the release order of the Japanese manga volumes.

Edited to add:

Here are some stills from the official trailer on You Tube showing Lessy running before taking off to fly for the first time (I think) but it cuts off at the last scene so I can't verify it. Also attached is a link to the official trailer.

As a rule of thumb J-Novel Club do not comment on when a series will start pre-pubs before a discussion thread is made or it is added to the series page.
Past performance is not necessary an indicator of future performance. Each license is an individual negotiation.
It will start eventually.
https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/3478/future-volume-release-schedule

I am familiar with j-novel not commenting. I am just launching some speculation into the ether to satisfy my thirst for more bookworm.

And I understand that each licence might need to be negotiatied seperately, and of course have no idea about how those discussions are held or are going. But I have some hope that after around 40 volumes there's some rapport between j-novel club and TO books that would help it go smoothly.

@arghc Maybe you're thinking of Part 4 Volume 5? It was released in 2025-09-17 according to the series info.

Yep, gotcha'd by the multiple streams. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thx for the correction!
