      Libri Liberorum

      @Drenok said in Ascendance of a Bookworm - anime discussion:

      We are still on episode 4 and no information on the ingredient gathering -_-.

      At this point, I'm expecting that there will be no medical examination, and the jureve plan will get revealed just prior to the autumn festival travel.

      The magic practice arena looks like a 1950s school gymnasium. Really weird is the row of load bearing windows 2/3 of the way up. EDIT TO ADD: And they have mezzanine floors inside. That makes it rather a questionable place to have someone try flying a highbeast for the very first time.

      Rozemyne and Ferdinand start their war of weaponizing Rihyarda against each other.

      We see that when people exit a magic room, they un-fade from black, with no view into the room from outside. This is a nice little detail.

      In the workshop, we see the wall is closely fitted stones. This doesn't make sense, as it is a wall made with entwicklen magic. It would only look like this if someone went to extra effort to intentionally design it to do so.

      @Question There will be always things that ppl do not like. In such cases you can just skip it and not get worked up about it. I personally hate when petite woman crushes giant buffed guy wo any proper explanation (magic, technology, different species or whatever). If I find such things in book I drop it.

      It’s to be expected since it’s anime, but wow is that art simplified.

      I love the manga that JNC’s put out so far. I’ll likely give the anime a try.

      Probably better as an anime than a LN at this point.

      For stories with female protagonists there is also I Refuse to Be Your Enemy! (though it lacks that tag for some reason) and The Extraordinary, the Ordinary, and SOAP! as well.

      @Paul-Nebeling nah, the series is still ongoing. There's even a sequel series being written in the WN.

      Volume 32 just hasn't been published in Japan yet.

      The anime was wonderful; I'd be quite happy to be able to read the LN.

      @unknownmat - Hanashi has a more reasonable release schedule for other titles like I Saved Myself With a Potion at April 16 for volume 1 and July 30 for volume 2 = 3.5 months, and Gate volume 1 March 25 and 2 on June 30 = 3 months.

      According to Bookwalker, JNC does in fact hold the publishing rights now. Which certainly explains the "weird contract limbo".
