I probably just saw it when browsing BookWalker? I can say for certain I got the first volume in September 2017, probably in a sale since it was something like a third off the regular price. I got the next 13 together the following March, again at I think 2/3rds price and looks like 40% coinback too. Didn’t get into reading the fan translation so only really read it after JNC picked it up.

@jcochran said in The Name of Rozemyne:

But on a different track, "don't feed the troll" and honestly, this expansion of her name to absurd lengths is extremely annoying and a primary reason this specific thread was created. Unfortunately, the creator of this thread is still lacking a major clue and instead is using an absurdly long link to this thread instead of just a simple "Rozemyne". Frankly, I think a certain moderator is being overly optimistic in his claim that the forums have remained "troll free". I personally consider the overlong URLs back here to be trolling.

Your concerns have been noted, considered, thrown into my dog's food bucket, then removed from there because I don't want for him to get sick, thrown into the dug out outhouse and forgotten.

I do agree the link might be longer than just be a crass guy and just say "Rozemyne" or even worse,"Myne", but the "overly long links" usually reference or contribute to the discussed, and I try to keep them sensible.

Just a heads up (I am sure it was already done, but for other users who may not know).

There is the slightest possibility that my having started playing D&D in 1977, and how potions worked there, plus the length of time we've been reading Bookworm while at the same time reading lots of other stories might, just might, result in a certain blending together of details from various places into an inaccurate whole.

Maybe.
Perhaps.

Edit to correct year started playing D&D; 1977, not 1976.

Thank you for your informations @Elisabeth @mystyk .

The rumors, man... The Rumors..

@strangeattractor Yes! The way her garters are strung must be super uncomfortable. So how about a luxury version with feystones and magical effects and no, boys, don't go there. Garters can get freezing cold, therefore a version that is keeping warm AND looking sexy, - irresistable.

The best I can say is it's now 6:40 AM and I've been being an idiot after not being able to get back to sleep some odd number of hours ago...

Took some work, since when it redirected to the US site it dumped the series... and it wasn't until I slapped in the kanji that it admitted they existed.
https://www.audible.com/series/B07TFS82TJ is what it is for US-based customers.

Without any knowledge of what's available literature-wise in Japan, or if the author reads untranslated English literature, I can't make any guesses concerning 'influences' from earlier works in the field.

It's clear she's a decent grasp of stuff related to late Medieval/early Renaissance society and culture.
A decent grasp of the history of 'how we preserve knowledge for future reference'; better than mine, truth be told.

Published works that have been brought to mind while reading this series, but not as inspirations.
Lest Darkness Fall by L. Sprague de Camp.
The 1632verse created by Eric Flint.

Rather less so...
Various works by S.M Stirling.
Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen by H. Beam Piper

These all have differing takes on the concept of someone (or a group of someones) with modern knowledge being plunked into either the past or an alternate present, and how their dissemination of said knowledge impacts things. They all have a heavy focus on the impact upon military affairs, although the first mentioned rather less than the others iirc...

Other web fiction...
The Somewhere Else Entirely universe created by Penny Lane, over at Top Shelf Big Closet. (If you aren't familiar with this series, go read it now. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200, just go read it now.) Deals nicely with the quandaries of what knowledge to release when, and how to do so with minimal negative impact upon the existing social and economic structures, or at least I think they've done well at it.

Wait.
One inspiration I'm pretty sure of...Quidditch, anyone?
