Ascendance of a Bookworm - Can I read it all with membership

I just purchased the normal membership. Can I read the full LN with this membership and if so how do I do that?

Hello,

Unfortunately no, regardless of membership tier, you will not have full access to older already published books (except in cases of them being put on catch-up, Bookworm was very recently on catch-up, so it may be a while till it comes back up in the rotation).

Going to paste a few things from the FAQ:

How long are prepub parts available?
The prepub releases are available until the ebook is published, just like implied.
After the final part in a volume is released, there will be a month where we do final proofreading and typesetting for the ebook, so all parts will be available for a minimum of 4-5 weeks, and over two months for the first parts in each volume.
Prepub parts are expired within a month of the ebook release around the 15th of each month.

Volume X is no longer available? What gives?
Once a volume has been published as an ebook, it is expired from prepub reading within a month of the ebook release.
Please support the author by purchasing the official ebook! Or you can sign up for a Premium membership and use your Coins to download the Premium ebook straight from our site!
We also make entire series available as “catchups” every month. A catchup series will have all the prepub parts for every volume in that series made available for Members to read. These catchups change every month, so you can check out a lot of series and find new ones to follow!

For clarity: Even when on catch-up you only get access to the pre-pubs, so don't get the colour illustrations (and sometimes maps, character summaries or short comics) included in the published version. The pre-pubs are not always updated to include tweaks as a result of proofreading, but it's still quite readable.

Membership does however give you a discount on purchasing coins to buy the premium ebooks.

Speaking of such discounts, if you decide to buy + preorder all the volumes available so far, the membership still can provide advantages:

20 volumes * $6.99 [reg price] = $139.80
20 volumes * $6.99 * 0.95 [member discount] + $4.95 [1-month member] = $137.76
19 volumes * $6.99 * 0.85 [premium discount] + 1 volume * $0 [premium monthly coins] + $10.95 [1-month premium] = $123.84

The membership advantages would get larger if you buy coins in advance for all planned volumes (33 volumes = 23067 coins should cover both present and future volumes).
