      So we return to the animated version of the adopted gremlin of the archduke whereas our protagonist has to deal with the traitors from Hasse.

      We had some additional view from Hasse's discussions pointing out that the assault on the monastery is treason and Evil Santa is not here anymore.
      It looks like Hartmut is an honor student this year :P
      We then had the measurements for Bridgitte's reward.
      And we had the traitor's execution. Most is what we expected, however we did not see the Myne essentially tricking Mayor to destroy his own argument but oh well.
      The chibi part added the Washen spell.

      @Libri-Liberorum said in Ascendance of a Bookworm - anime discussion:

      I suspect the ending is a preview of Rozemyne's jureve dream.

      After rewatching the ending, I tend to concur with your assessment... We are missing the actual cleaning the blockage part of the dream but it would make sense considering Myne is wearing white and she's walking in a forest.

      I had noticed a couple of weeks ago that in the new Bookwalker site they had changed the publisher from nothing to J-Novel Club; now I know why.

      Something to point out, though: as can be seen on GoodReads, despite the fact that you are keeping the exact same format for the cover illustrations, there's a mistake at least on book 1 (I'd have to check books 2 and 3 more closely, but I believe those have no issues): in the original japanese edition, as well as in SB Creative's (the original publisher) version, in volume 1 Ai was making a "quiet" sign (extended pointer finger before her lips) on the cover, while she was holding a shogi piece in the inner cover; in your version, she's holding a shogi piece in both.

      @Ekun said in The Ryuo's Work Is Never Done!:

      now, now ... Will JNC add the whole series into their catalog too!?
      or will be still only on BookWalker (dot) com ...

      it still neither on Amazon Kindle, nor Kobo, neither (Apple) iBooks store ...

      Seems j-novel club added the first three volumes here. Now hoping they add the rest. I do have them already from bookwalker but I don't mind double dipping, at least now I don't have to go through all that hassle to read them on my kobo (or re-read them when the occasion appears)...

      3 each month is their current plan.

      It's hard to know whether it's an author or a publisher that's dragging out a series, and if it's the author why they're doing it (money, attention, lack of ideas for a new series or after story, etc.)

      Failure Frame drove me away when it reached a perfect point to end the main story arc, but then the author threw in a reset to drag it out (forever?).

      I'd much rather read the Skeleton Knight or Realist Hero approach where the author finishes their arc then starts something new with the story. Otherwise it turns into kid cartoon shows where the bad guy escapes every episode so they can come back next week to sell new toys.

      @karasutengu totally fine, just pointing out saying "quick for a manga" isn't relevant here, since it isn't a manga original series.

      @Dizyab

      Hi,

      We have a stock answer about this that does get sent out to anyone who asks.

      I am the one who sends them out and I am not seeing any unanswered emails about this. Perhaps it went to spam?

      Here is the response:

      Thank you for your email. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience caused.

      We are in the process of changing how we distribute our books on Kobo for sale.
      As such, we are in a half-state/limbo state where some books are on the new method, and some are on the old method.

      Any books distributed on the new method will appear on the sale. Any on the old method will not.

      We do plan on bringing all books from the old method to the new method in time. Unfortunately, that means some books part of our sale will not go on sale on Kobo.

      @karasutengu said in Livid Lady's guide to getting even Anime:

      Update:

      The anime is scheduled to premier on Jul 6, 2026 on C-R (according to it's latest update)

      Welp the anime started last week and is is spot on (as anime go) with the LN and manga. I specifically like the way they portrayed the MC's father as a cold, calculating SOB that puts the kingdom ahead of everything including his daughter. I hated him.

      Just to add onto that, the two series you mentioned are only partially available in readers tier. If you sub to that tier you'll get access to the first 3 volumes worth of parts for each series.

      I'm enjoying the adaptation so far. They've really capture Alna's and Dias' characters.
