The protagonist of Ascendance of a Bookworm isn't ace, but she is a kid that is more interested in books so often comes across that way.

@Esternis Hi,

That volume is not part of the Readers Library, and it is not currently on pre-pubs, so it can't be read with any membership.

The book can be purchased and then you can read it on the website or download it as an ePub.

We apologize for the confusion. Since there was confusion about what subscription tiers offered what, and you subscribed so recently. You an email support@j-novel.club to request a refund.

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

So "archduke candidate" has been translated as "succession candidate". This works for me.

Not really a good choice IMO. I mean once she goes to the academy, they will all be in succession candidate class?

Volume 8 is scheduled to release in June 12, 2026

@Lily-Garden Also, you want to download the purchased epubs from the user page, that gets you the full final published copy with any corrections that have been made. If you access it from the series page that takes you to the prepub version that was available prior to being officially published, which is usually missing some things like color images at the front and sometimes extras like side stories, and is often missing some corrections.

FYI this also affects the apparent ownership on the amazon product page, for some reason. At least it does for me, and only for these 4 volumes. On both the series summary page https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GQ9QWL7F , and on individual pages such as https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0GLYR5FTV it gives me the option to buy the kindle version - the button says "Buy now with 1-Click" instead of "Read Now".

But when I open my actual Kindle app of course, I own those 4 volumes already and can read them. They are just not grouped in the series with the rest of the volumes.

So as it is now I could accidentally buy the book a second time, though I have not tried to.

This is a series i would love to read myself. The anime was good, but i always wanted to know more.

@jpwong said in false advertising on the home page about readers membership:

@Kurzaa There's actually 70 series right now that are fully available according to the web site filters for the readers library and 53 partially available.

Agree that they need to fix the front page though, either by swapping out those two series to some of the other 68 to choose from, or change the wording.

right, they have plenty of series that match the words. or they can change the words. both are simple solutions.
