This is more of the same that I described in my review of part 1 volume 1。 Unfortunately， I can't remember what part of the plot happened in this volume--a side effect of having seen the anime first。 It's enjoyable， but I don't think I want to continue too much further， unless I get impatient to know what happens in the story past the point the anime first season concluded。 This is more of the same that I described in my review of part 1 volume 1。 Unfortunately， I can't remember what part of the plot happened in this volume--a side effect of having seen the anime first。 It's enjoyable， but I don't think I want to continue too much further， unless I get impatient to know what happens in the story past the point the anime first season concluded。 。。。more

Another cute book of this adorable bookworm。 Myne’s character improves a lot from book one and she’s no longer rude and annoying， she’s starting to fit in more into her family but is still determined to have books and nothing will stop her。 I also love that she cares for Lutz and is helping him to achieve his dream。The only complain I have is that we spend almost half the book with details of all the paper making process。 And， I get she’s excited about books and all， but I don’t really need to k Another cute book of this adorable bookworm。 Myne’s character improves a lot from book one and she’s no longer rude and annoying， she’s starting to fit in more into her family but is still determined to have books and nothing will stop her。 I also love that she cares for Lutz and is helping him to achieve his dream。The only complain I have is that we spend almost half the book with details of all the paper making process。 And， I get she’s excited about books and all， but I don’t really need to know the finer details on how to make paper， I’m not about to go make it myself， so that felt too long。 。。。more

A fun readI am really enjoying my time reading this。 Funny enough， even though I know what's gonna happen next because of the anime， I am still constantly excited to read more， especially since this has so much more details than the anime。 A fun readI am really enjoying my time reading this。 Funny enough， even though I know what's gonna happen next because of the anime， I am still constantly excited to read more， especially since this has so much more details than the anime。 。。。more

I am so in love with this manga series！！！ Such a good story， even though it seems terrifying to me to live in a world without books like Myne does。

It's amazing how small this story is and yet I'm happy to continue reading。 I particularly like how sanguine Myne is about her potential death。。。 after all， she's already been through the veil once。 It's amazing how small this story is and yet I'm happy to continue reading。 I particularly like how sanguine Myne is about her potential death。。。 after all， she's already been through the veil once。 。。。more

Lovely。 This series is awesome and I am glad to experience it close to its original format。 Of course best thing would be to read it in Japanese but。。。 that will take a while at the rate my kanji studies are going。 （Slow。） 😅 Myne would probably understand。 Someday perhaps。 As it is this English translation is great and I am grateful to read it。I want to pick up the next book right now but It’ll have to wait between a few other reads。

Esforços sendo recompensados e trama progredindo bem rápido。Ótimo volume， muito divertido e fofo。

I found the second book notably better than the first book， because the plot had a bit more aim （and also existed in general）。 It hit a much better spot for Myne's power level and did a good job looking more into her own shortcomings and the consequences thereof。 Generally， I'd say Myne was a much more interesting and likeable character in this volume than before， and I'm now more intrigued to follow her journey。 The horrid style and translation are still just as much of an issue， sadly。 It take I found the second book notably better than the first book， because the plot had a bit more aim （and also existed in general）。 It hit a much better spot for Myne's power level and did a good job looking more into her own shortcomings and the consequences thereof。 Generally， I'd say Myne was a much more interesting and likeable character in this volume than before， and I'm now more intrigued to follow her journey。 The horrid style and translation are still just as much of an issue， sadly。 It takes me way longer to read these books than any other books for that reason， and the still very slow pacing （which I however generally like， not everything needs to be a rollercoaster）。I especially enjoyed the two bonus stories at the end。 One of the strong parts of this series is that the world really feels lived in， like everyone else also has their own thing going on， which is ultra rare in an isekai。 The bonus stories added a lot to that。 。。。more

看這集的感想就是小朋友好小就要承擔好多阿！雖然算是文化民情不同的概念…本集最萌的就是路茲的梅茵這段了～其他部分大概就是一個造紙+商人出體驗+各種新商品（？）

Fell in love with the anime， the books did not disappointWhen I finished watching the Ascendance of a Bookworm anime I impulsively bought the books so the story wouldn't end。 Later I was worried the books wouldn't live up to the enjoyment I had from the anime， but in proved even better than expected。 Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 1 has given me endless joy with a deeper look into the world I knew from the anime and endless delicious details of Myne's life and adventures。 Fell in love with the anime， the books did not disappointWhen I finished watching the Ascendance of a Bookworm anime I impulsively bought the books so the story wouldn't end。 Later I was worried the books wouldn't live up to the enjoyment I had from the anime， but in proved even better than expected。 Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 1 has given me endless joy with a deeper look into the world I knew from the anime and endless delicious details of Myne's life and adventures。 。。。more

I liked this one a lot more than the first。 I especially liked the product aspect of it。 Also a lot more of the relationships developed in a much more realistic and interesting manner。

Loved the anime: loved the light novelI initially found Ascendance of a Bookworm on an anime streaming site that I frequent。 Being so caught up in the story and the characters I decided to look into the manga and came upon the light novel。I can say that I am very happy with the animation and the novel！ I am very happy that I purchased each book！

La historia desde la perspectiva de Effa es la mejor de este volumen。 Eso explica por qué no ve con extrañeza el comportamiento de Myne ⭐📚

Everyday people doing everyday things in a fantasy world。 Wake me up when the book is done。How to make paper manually。。。 Comparisons of a few different imaginary woods and a description of the adversity overcome to make a few sheets of paper。。。 Oh， wait， we get to read descriptions of dresses and hair decorations？ How can I survive all of the excitement？The main character is so limited， that one must ask if she is out of her mind。 Her biggest goal is to make paper so that she can make books so t Everyday people doing everyday things in a fantasy world。 Wake me up when the book is done。How to make paper manually。。。 Comparisons of a few different imaginary woods and a description of the adversity overcome to make a few sheets of paper。。。 Oh， wait， we get to read descriptions of dresses and hair decorations？ How can I survive all of the excitement？The main character is so limited， that one must ask if she is out of her mind。 Her biggest goal is to make paper so that she can make books so that she can read books。 I'm sorry， but this book just wasn't all that interesting。 。。。more

Great story！Absolutely love following Myne on her journey。 It’s an amazing story about a hard-headed， stubborn girl willing to overcome anything in her path - though it’s already showing to be deeper than this。 With intricacies woven into the story that rival bestsellers I know， this is an amazing story that will capture your heart and cheer for Myne’s every victory。
