I recently read the LN 05v11 and started participating in the re-read from p1v1 organised in reddit.
I realized that p5v11 Rozemyne is as annoyingly obsessed with books as p1v1 Myne. They both were ready to let the mana devour and kill them to make an exit if things don't go according to what they want. Only Rozemyne's interpretation of Mestionara not allowing her into her library the second time as "banning" her kept her from letting the (all-powerful and painful) divine mana consume her and ascend the distant heights to visit her favourite library.
They both didn't have an anchor to Yuergenschmidt
They both seem to be going through the motions to somehow survive till they get a book or library respectively.
Even Rozemyne's attachment to Ferdinand seems superficial which Ferdinand himself mentioned in his SS. Essentially Rozemyne had regressed to Myne when she had just entered this world.. except the former is aiming for a library while the latter had aimed for a book.
This is brilliant writing by Kazuki-sensei.
I was so amazed by this when I realized and wanted to share it.

@Flamesz-0 said in Bookworm Part 5 Vol. 10 Discussion!:

Immanuel making assumptions.

...not like he doesn't do that, tru dat.

@Lily-Garden I remembered it but couldn't find it - now I see why

@JonaStubbe said in (English) fanfic recommendations:

Then there is Herald of Spring, which follows a person who read AoaB until P4V7 (IIRC) and then awakened in the body of another Devouring commoner girl (Mila) in Ehrenfest (with even less mana than Myne, but still enough to cause problems). The first part has Mila try (and fail) not to disturb the events of canon Part 2 after finding that Myne does indeed exist and have Urano's memories. Mila manages to get ennobled too, but her circumstances are … less favorable (for one, the house she is assigned to is the Joisontaks, who got themselves purged at the end of canon Part 3). This fic does not shy away from the nasty parts of the setting for sure, so beware.

Mila and her compadres of canon and original characters are compelling enough that this series has spawned its own fanfiction by third party authors.

Verdrenna's Favorite Little Follower - Mila likes magnets. How do you make one in a world without electricity? A certain goddess might be able to help with that. This oneshot follows the events of the first few parts of Herald of Spring told from Verdrenna's point of view. Mila the Gunslinger - This oneshot is a flash forward to Mila's first year at the Royal Academy (HoS was still a year or two away from this in the story at the point this was written) starting with her schtappe acquisition. What will the magic-obsessed Mila do when she acquires a schtappe? Mila — Third Year Adventures - another oneshot flash forward to... you can tell from the title. Mila has just completed her Divine Protections ritual with unexpected results which leave her unable to control her mana (like seriously, why was Verdrenna's pillar so freaking bright?). She needs to expend some mana fast before she loses control of it, but everything she usually spends mana on is hardly using any of it anymore, and Ferdinand ordered her not to stand out at the academy. What can she actually do to expend some mana without drawing attention to herself? Will of the Herald - another oneshot, another flash forward. This one to the schtappe acquisition. Mila makes it all the way to the end of Farthest Hall without finding a divine will, and no stairway in sight to enter the Garden of Beginnings. She really doesn't want to return without a divine will, so what can she do? Mila just might have a few tricks up her sleeves... but will her tricks anger the gods?

I could swear there were a few more, but I'm not finding them.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to point this out. For future reference anything found in a published ebook needs to be emailed into support@j-novel.club

Additional reference we have already been informed of this.

Thank you

Technically Rozemyne has everything necessary to exercise the powers of the Zent - a certain Namestone.

Continuing Rozemyne's train of thought from the inauguration ceremony

Ferdinand: I am very happy that you have accepted me in your family.
Effa: But of course!
Myne: Ferdinand, since I'm technically of age now, can we do the Copy-and-Place?
Lutz: What's Copy-and-Place?
Ferdinand: I meant your noble coming-of-age when I said that.
Myne: Whenever I use my incomplete Grutrissheit I get frustrated. I really don't see why we can't do it sooner.
Tuuli: What's Grutrissheit?
Ferdinand: I don't want to cause trouble for your reputation.
Myne: We're already spending all afternoon in a hidden room together right now as far as our retainers know. We can easily make room in the schedule, and nobody will know what we're doing.
Ferdinand: Can we perhaps talk about this later?
Myne: You're going to keep delaying if I let you. But I don't want to wait another two years before I can get you to fill my holes.
Tuuli: Myne???
Lutz: Do nobles talk like that?
Gunther: glares at Ferdinand
Kamil: Why is everyone mad at Lord Ferdinand all of a sudden?
Mark: You'll understand when you're older.
Ferdinand: Rozemyne, you could have phrased that better.

With everything fixed, lets see what the extras are this time!

Lessy and Me

Aw, we almost had a Lessy with indicator lights and a flashing tail!

Lessy and Ferdinand

We have seen what it takes to terrify even the Lord of Evil himself! I think I'll call it the Pooeymobile 😎

All to See Myne

Another Tuuli POV! This time, showing the etiquette lessons she needed to reunite with Rozemyne post-adoption. And that Lutz was slipping Tuuli notes on how to stand out in the Gilberta company!

@karasutengu Oh sorry, I forgot to tell you back then. I had been watching Tenchi Muyo Ryo Ohki part 7 after Mihoshi asked Tokini what kind of reasons she had for attending Rea's wedding. Tokini's answer came with a priceless finger-wag, "Not - Telling". That was the end of the questions.

@elkensteyin said in Bookworm Royal Academy Stories - First Year:

Do we know if there are any more upcoming volumes to this?

There are no additional Royal Academy Stories volumes in Japan. It's plausibly something Miya Kazuki could write more of in the future, but the Short Story Collections took over a lot of their purpose of giving print and non-Japanese readers access to some of the webnovel side stories (at a reduced workload since she didn't write a bunch of new content to go in them).

close to my heart / never to part (P5V6, Myne & Elvira)

Summary:

“So then, you knew that – that I’m –”
Her voice trembled and she took a breath, leading Elvira to nod and finish off the sentence – but it had only been a brief pause, not a conversational cue, and thus the two of them ended up speaking at the same time.
“– a commoner, yes.”
“– from another world?”

@Quof i found a mistake in this older volume when rereading. In Corinna's side storr Frenbeltag is misspelled as Frobetag.

I was legit just about to post about this lol.

I used to be seriously into musicals back at the height of SeraMyu. Hoping they'll have DVDs of the shows available at the end of the year 🙏

Rozemyne is now Aub Alexandria, but she's still registered with Ehrenfest's foundation

This unusual circumstance may allow for Remote Toad Execution

It’s out! :)

4-koma!! Yaaaaaaaay! :D

Miso, Hartmut, and Dad! Oh my! ^_^

@DMC-Tornado
Shuu: [Err, what am I doing here?]
Myne: [Shuu, is that you!?]

@JonaStubbe Fair enough, it's

わたしは急いでメスティオノーラの書を閉じる

So it's really just "quickly closed"

...well, literally really "I quickly close..." because in Japanese Bookworm actually uses non-past in narration as well as the past...

@mshorts

Hello,

The color illustrations are available in the versions purchased directly from J-Novel Club.

Just to make sure you are downloading the ebook and not trying to look at them through the pre-pub parts?

The pre-pub parts do not have those illustrations they are only available in the final ebook.

He's using it to test her reaction, which is why he only gives her droplets. The stronger the negative reaction, the stronger the gods' influence (possibly because their mana is so different and/or because they hate Ferdinand specifically).
