Ascendance of a bookworm ( Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen) [Licensed by J-Novel Club]
-
@catstorm Well, at least manga get licensed...
-
I heard there's gonna be some more JNC licensing announcement coming up. Fingers crossed one of it is this LN :P
-
I was planing to just take a look at the LN cause the manga is cool, but i wasn't able to stop reading ^^
After reading the Fantrad i can only say one thing: "we need it", the manga is good but definitly nowhere near the LN. The story kind of remind me of Mushoku Tensei first half in a way and manage to keep being interesting despite not having lot of action or a big driving plot, it also has some good characters devlopement.
We're probably going to get it licence anyway with how popular it is right now, but i hope JNC take it, i don't want to wait 4~5 months between each vol. -
Please give this a thought because the translator is dropping this!!!!!!!!!!!!
Her Post:
"When I was setting my New Year’s resolutions for 2019, “stick to your release schedule” was pretty high up on the list. After thinking it over, though, I realized that the main reason that I haven’t been able to reliably get a chapter out is because, quite frankly, I’m tired of translating this story. When I thought about how it would take me literally over a decade to get through it at my current rate, I realized that it wasn’t a question of if I was going to drop it, but when, and since I’m not enjoying myself anymore, it might as well be now.So, unfortunately, I’m going to stop translating Ascendance of a Bookworm. This was a tough decision to make, and I’m sorry to disappoint everyone who has been patiently waiting for the next chapter. I’ll be doing one last big editing pass to (finally) fix up character names and lingering typos, then go dark for a couple months or so while I figure out what I’ll be getting into next.
Thanks to all of you for sticking with me, and I hope you’ll come back when I decide on what my next project will be.
(If any of you would like to take up this particular project, please let me know! I’d be happy to set up links to your page once you get off the ground.)"
I am going to go into withdrawl with this....

Toss my vote onto this, story seems nice, and it's a bit different since the MC hasn't inherited any sort of super powers from being isekaied, isn't beloved by the gods and needs to rely on other people for pretty much everything.
-
Yeah. As someone on another forum noted, Urano/Myne technically does change the world through Isekai Science, but it's the Science of Martha Stewart, as vaguely recalled by a regular well-read person.
(Like Terry Pratchett, I am a believer that the "average person" actually knows a lot more "general knowledge" and trivia than they themselves think, so Myne's wealth of knowledge is realistic to me, both in terms of breadth, as well as the gaps she has to guess out.)

@unsynchedcheese I mean, she's a book fanatic. Just looking at me alone (And I'm not even a fanatic), I've read entire libraries worth of books to the point that my memory has basically reached a limit. If someone who just 'likes reading' (mainly because I like stories, but also because I'm curious about things and want to 'obtain knowledge') can reach that point, I'm sure that a complete fanatic would know even more and have read even more. The girl was buried in books when she died, even!
-
I've been reading the MTL of the webnovel past what's been translated to chapter 300 something out of 677. I would like to support the original author,but hate the idea of buying a book I can't read. So I would love it if this was picked up too.
-
Looks like the series is getting an anime adaptation from the new PV. Looks interesting.
-
The day Finally arrived never have I been so happy to have a thread of mine shut down.
Time to lock this one up :)
