    @Trinh Actually, that's not what I meant.
    The cape will stop absorbing automatically, but when it does the mana it's no longer absorbing will continue on to its target... which in the case of the attack was Ferdinand and Myne. So in the case of the attack, Myne was forced to compress her mana to avoid filling up and being hit with the rest of the attack, whereas the knowledge mana was harmless.

    Basically, it's the difference between pouring cold water and hot coffee into a cup. If the former overflows onto my lap, it's (relatively) no big deal, if the latter does I'm looking at severe burns.

    To be clear, Myne was working to compress her mana so she still had room for more mana, to avoid the automatic cut-off that would have let the attack hit her.

    @Geezer-Weasalopes said in Prediction poll: Who will Hannelore be betrothed to?:

    "Somebody Else" has edged out a Named Person by scant votes. Based upon the discussion topic most of those are the Rozemyne supporters.

    I really should have thought to give Rozemyne as an option.

    Hi,

    Are you trying to point out a correction, or are you asking for additional material in the book?

    If the latter. We are not the original Japanese publisher. We license the book for translation and publication in English. Our releases must mimic the Japanese release. Other than being in English. So we can’t add anything extra that was not in there. Other than our premium release which just gets a higher quality illustration of an image already in the Japanese release.

    #1: single panel half page. I don't understand what character motivations are behind any of the thought bubble/text boxes.

    It's from the Lutz story "Tuuri's worries". He was looking at her, thinking to himself she'd become elegant and envying the fact that she could go to the castle when she came of age (which was still more than a year away for him). Otto interpreted it as Lutz finally getting interested in girls.

    @Kreeblah said in [CORRECTIONS] - Bookworm Part 5 Vol 7:

    just desserts

    To add on to what Geezer said, it's "deserts" as in "deserve" i.e. "just what you deserve" (which means that yes, it's pronounced like desserts)

    Also, let me know if you'd prefer I keep adding polls to the end of this thread to prevent clogging the board with a bunch of polls, or if you'd prefer I make a new topic per poll to increase the visibility.

    My recollection from what others have said is that you can only have a poll in the initial post for a topic.
    Something to do with how the poll software is set up within the forum software.

    @Gamen said in Bookworm Part 5 Vol. 11 Discussion!:

    If it was so shocking, perhaps that's reason to re-evaluate your assumptions? The question of whether you can really say Myne was being raised by Ferdinand or whether she was already a fully-formed ego aside, what he taught her was not how to be his ideal woman, but what she needed to survive without him in noble society as he had experienced it. His "ideal woman" if there is such a thing is the Myne that ignored what he tried to teach her and led an army to rescue him.

    Yeah, the kind of woman he was training her to be is the Rozemyne without her memories, and he hated it.

    Building on what both have said:

    Ferdinand was providing Rozemyne survival skills.
    To the extent he "shaped her" it was to give her the ability to survive in Noble Society.
    How to navigate the twisted shoals of noble interactions without yielding more than you must.
    Building upon the foundation laid by Benno.

    He never considered her as a potential mate until late in the game, she was going to be tied to the ruling house (be it duchy or sovereignty.)
    No thought of grooming her for himself.
    No Hikari Genji stuff here, thank you very much.

    Rozemyne choose otherwise. She exercised Free Will.
    I'll concede that once she did chose by launching her "Operation: Saving Lord Ferdinand!" he took things beyond where she'd consciously intended, but if she's going to overthrow the established order society wide for his sake...that's a proposal, damnit!

    In Letizia's story (Part 10 80-86%), I think the "verinur" flowers collected are supposed to be the same as the "wehrnoor" flowers that Ferdinand gives to Rozemyne in Part 5 Volume 5.

    Also, it might make more sense to change honey-> nectar, unless the original Japanese is particularly explicit. It is a feyplant, so who knows.

    This above are not translated because J-NC are still working through SSC2. They will eventually be translated.

    The above are not translated because J-NC have not started translating SSC3 yet. This volume only released in Japan this week. They will eventually be translated.

    The above are not translated because J-NC have currently only translated up to FB5. They will eventually be translated.

    The above are not translated because they are the side stories from HFY1 which J-NC has not translated yet. They will eventually be translated.

    spoiler

    The above is not translated yet because it is the physical store bonus chapter for HFY1. J-NC and TO have not entered into an agreement for these to be licensed individually (and J-NC have not started to release HFY yet). We will have to wait for it to be compiled into SSC4 and then licensed. This will eventually be translated.

    spoiler

    The above are not translated because they only exist are SS WN chapters and J-NC do not license WN chapters. These would first chapter to be compiled into a light novel volume e.g. SSC4 before they can be licensed and translated. I believe this will eventually happen but it is not guaranteed.

    spoiler

    The above are not translated because they are SS bundled with the Drama CDs. Sam has said in the past they J-NC will not license the Drama CDs. J-NC and TO have not entered into an agreement for these to be licensed individually (in part because there would be no viable way to sell them). For them to be translated they would need to be compiled into a light novel e.g. a SSC volume but in March 2022 there were no plans to do this. Despite this comment I believe this will eventually happen but it is not guaranteed.

    spoiler

    The above are not translated because they are SS bundled with the anime. No English physically anime licensor has chosen to licensed these. J-NC and TO have not entered into an agreement for these to be licensed individually (in part because there would be no viable way to sell them). These would first have to be compiled into a light novel volume e.g. an SSC volume before they can be licensed and translated. I believe this will eventually happen but it is not guaranteed.

    The above are not translated because they are tied to Japanese merchandise. J-NC and TO have not entered into an agreement for these to be licensed individually (in part because there would be no viable way to sell them). These would first have to be compiled into a light novel volume e.g. an SSC volume before they can be licensed and translated. I believe this will eventually happen but it is not guaranteed.
