Une super lectureMots Clés: Light novel， young adult， fantasyJ’avoue que le manga me tentait bien mais quand LaNovel Editions m’a proposé de lire le light novel （un énorme merci）， je me suis dit que c’était l’occasion parfaite pour découvrir cette histoire。L’histoire nous présente Urano， une véritable rat-de-bibliothèque， qui va être réincarné en Maïn， une petite fille de six ans qui vit dans un monde très diffèrent du sien。 Maïn est souvent malade et à donc la force d’une enfant de trois ans。 C Une super lectureMots Clés: Light novel， young adult， fantasyJ’avoue que le manga me tentait bien mais quand LaNovel Editions m’a proposé de lire le light novel （un énorme merci）， je me suis dit que c’était l’occasion parfaite pour découvrir cette histoire。L’histoire nous présente Urano， une véritable rat-de-bibliothèque， qui va être réincarné en Maïn， une petite fille de six ans qui vit dans un monde très diffèrent du sien。 Maïn est souvent malade et à donc la force d’une enfant de trois ans。 Cela ne serait pas grave pour Urano mais le problème， c’est que dans ce nouveau monde， il n’y a pas de livres ！ Elle se met donc en tête d’en faire elle-même， car on n’est jamais mieux servi que par soi-même hein。 Au début， Urano ne m’était pas très sympathique car elle ne pensait qu’à elle et à ses livres。 Mais petit à petit， elle devient Maïn et s’intéresse à sa famille et ses amis。 Je me suis donc naturellement mise à l’aimer et à espérer qu’elle réussisse。 Ce nouveau monde a des allures un peu moyenâgeuses mais a aussi une part de fantasy avec ses champignons qui pourraient danser si on ne le grille pas。 Franchement， une super lecture。 J’ai hâte de pouvoir lire la suite。 Surtout que l’épilogue me fait me poser plein de questions sur Maïn et son futur。Je recommande à toute personne cherchant une lecture amusante et entraînante。5/5 。。。more

DNF around 45%。 I watched the anime and loved it so I hoped the light novel would be much the same。 Unfortunately Myne is so unbearably whiny and annoying that I just didn’t have it in me。 If you like the concept but not the execution， just watch the anime instead。

I started this because of the anime， and it is leaps and bounds beyond what I expected。 I am so in love with this world and its characters。 As a fellow bookworm， Myne reminds me of little me。

Such a cute little manga！ Being a librarian， I had no choice but to pick up this book。 Imagine being reincarnated as a 5 year old in a different time with NO books。 That's what happened to Myne。 Now she is on a quest to make her own books at any cost， and her family is growing suspicious of her sudden behavior change。And I thought *I* was obsessed with books。。。 Such a cute little manga！ Being a librarian， I had no choice but to pick up this book。 Imagine being reincarnated as a 5 year old in a different time with NO books。 That's what happened to Myne。 Now she is on a quest to make her own books at any cost， and her family is growing suspicious of her sudden behavior change。And I thought *I* was obsessed with books。。。 。。。more

Cute beginning of a series but struggled to keep my attention。 Was hard to get into at times — felt more slice of life rather than plot driven。 It also reads somewhat mediocre and flat。 I feel like there’s a lot of missing elements that could have made the story more interesting…Honestly， the last 30 pages was more interesting than the entire book。 But perhaps it gets better in other volumes。 May try the manga or anime instead if I’m interested in seeing the rest of this story。

wonderful storyOverall I began reading this light novel after second anime season ended and the 3rd is about to begin。 Before that I have only read just 3 manga’s in the series。 After watching the promo for the third season it made me want to read the light novel。 I totally recommend。 It gives you more insight of the world and the characters。 I say give it a shot am definitely will be getting all of the light novels now to support this amazing world。 I hope we get all of the novels translated in wonderful storyOverall I began reading this light novel after second anime season ended and the 3rd is about to begin。 Before that I have only read just 3 manga’s in the series。 After watching the promo for the third season it made me want to read the light novel。 I totally recommend。 It gives you more insight of the world and the characters。 I say give it a shot am definitely will be getting all of the light novels now to support this amazing world。 I hope we get all of the novels translated in English and we get to see the completed web novel animated in general。 。。。more

I’ve read 15 books in this series and it’s hands down the best light novel out there。 Light Novel’s are usually fun reads but in no way quality but fun none the less for a rpg lover like me sadly most light novel’s suffer from sexist cliches but this series has none of them。 It’s also a series that’s not scared to change things up。

This book sets the pace right。 It builds the story and world slowly and shows evident loopholes that are most likely to be filled in the next books。I love a number of things from this book:First， the story building promises so much potential。 Though in this book the "normal" or probably the most familiar parts were shown， there is a promise of more - much more fantastical in the coming books。Second， how the story is narrated。 I'm not much into POVs before but this does it so well。 The mental ban This book sets the pace right。 It builds the story and world slowly and shows evident loopholes that are most likely to be filled in the next books。I love a number of things from this book:First， the story building promises so much potential。 Though in this book the "normal" or probably the most familiar parts were shown， there is a promise of more - much more fantastical in the coming books。Second， how the story is narrated。 I'm not much into POVs before but this does it so well。 The mental banters and struggles and even the internal comments made me guffaw more times than I could remember。Third， the descriptions。 The way things， sceneries， appearances and even events are described are in ways that could let me picture everything out perfectly。I love the additional POVs at the end too。 It makes me see things other than from Myne's perspective。I think after this book， Myne's love for books rubbed off me。 There's a joy in reading。 I'd love to read more and I hope Myne can read soon too！！P。S。 there are noticeable changes in anime compared to here but I love the anime and I love this too。 It doesn't affect much so I don't mind :）On to the next！！ 。。。more

I love Myne， she is a reincarnated bookworm who lives in a poor society and suffers from extreme illnesses。 She wants to have access to books， however she would have to be wealthy to gain access and read them。 She wants to introduce literacy to the low and middle class society。 She begins thinking of ways to make her own books， and knows there will be obstacles along the way。

I think this book isn't really for people who like only plot driven stories。 If you read this book and expect being slaped in the face with fantasy elements you won't have a lot of fun。 The book really takes it's time to build up the settings and characters and shows a lot of inner dialog of the main character。 I read this time at a time where I was stressed and felt kinda alone。 The book gave me the feeling of being relaxed and shows cute family moments。 I don't know if I would rate it less at I think this book isn't really for people who like only plot driven stories。 If you read this book and expect being slaped in the face with fantasy elements you won't have a lot of fun。 The book really takes it's time to build up the settings and characters and shows a lot of inner dialog of the main character。 I read this time at a time where I was stressed and felt kinda alone。 The book gave me the feeling of being relaxed and shows cute family moments。 I don't know if I would rate it less at a different pointin my life， but I just really enjoyed it！ 。。。more

On se retrouve dans un isekai qui， même s’il est assez classique， se démarque au niveau du thème abordé。 En effet on suit les aventures d’une fana de livres réincarnée dans une petite fille， dans un monde au style de l’époque médiévale。 Premier problème: elle va vite prendre conscience qu’il n’y a pas de livre dans ce monde， ou en tout cas pas à sa portée。 Son premier objectif va donc être clair : créer elle-même les livres qu’elle aime tant。 Pour remplir cet objectif， elle va se servir des conn On se retrouve dans un isekai qui， même s’il est assez classique， se démarque au niveau du thème abordé。 En effet on suit les aventures d’une fana de livres réincarnée dans une petite fille， dans un monde au style de l’époque médiévale。 Premier problème: elle va vite prendre conscience qu’il n’y a pas de livre dans ce monde， ou en tout cas pas à sa portée。 Son premier objectif va donc être clair : créer elle-même les livres qu’elle aime tant。 Pour remplir cet objectif， elle va se servir des connaissances de notre monde。 Les deux vies du personnage vont donc se mélanger au fur et à mesure de l’intrigue。 Tout le début de l’histoire va donc tourner autour de cette idée et de comment elle va réussir à se procurer les matériaux nécessaires， les techniques etc… Mais vous en dire plus serait spoiler le cœur de l’histoire。 Cependant sachez que la problématique de création du livre ne sera pas le seul obstacle sur la route de notre demoiselle， et rapidement de nouvelles épreuves à surmonter vont venir faire leur apparition。 Ici donc pas de volonté de combattre des monstres， de gagner en puissance ou de sauver le monde， rien que pour cela l’intrigue de cet isekai particulier à de l’originalité à revendre et offre un vent de fraîcheur au genre。 Tout de suite une remarque s’impose : le lecteur pourra s’identifier facilement au personnage， puisqu’il se reconnaîtra dans sa passion pour les livres。 Et ça c’est plutôt un bon point。 On peut alors se comparer avec elle， et se demander comment nous aurions pu réagir à sa place。 L’histoire est bien rythmée， le lecteur se prend rapidement au jeu de l’intrigue et parfois on se surprend même à vouloir sauter quelques pages pour se spoiler， preuve que le roman nous aura captivé et donné l’envie de toujours en savoir plus。 Le monde est logique， et le lecteur pourra se faire emporter en son sein en quelques lignes。 On s’attache très vite à la petite demoiselle ainsi qu’à sa famille， et progressivement ce sentiment s’étendra à son réseau d’amis et de connaissances。 L’autre point fort du roman est que pour une fois on découvre que le protagoniste va devoir se démener et réellement donner de sa personne pour réussir à atteindre ses objectifs。 Pas de facilité scénaristique， ce qui pour un isekai fait vraiment plaisir à voir。 On retrouve des personnages secondaires qui permettent d’apporter un vrai plus au niveau du scénario mais surtout ils agissent sur la compréhension du lecteur de ce monde nouveau。 Grâce à eux on comprend mieux la politique en place （ noble， artisan 。。 Chacun à sa place ici。 ） et notamment sa rigidité。 C’est agréable à lire， d’ailleurs ça se dévore sans modération。 Et même si au premier regard ça à l’air assez innocent cela n'empêche pas l’auteur d’aborder des thèmes plus difficiles， le tout en restant assez soft pour être tout public。 La encore les illustrations sont un réel complément à l’histoire， elles apportent une vision précise du monde dans lequel évolue nos protagonistes mais viennent également conforter le lecteur dans l’image qu’il peut se faire des personnages。 Gros point positif que je tenais également à signaler : le travail derrière l’édition française est vraiment un plus， on retrouve un ouvrage de qualité， travaillé， et qui permet une lecture facilité。 。。。more

In truth， I couldn't quite deal with the story so I skimmed the last half。 I found Myne to be tedious and annoying and reading the book was like listening to a 5 year old tell a story。。。because that is exactly what it is。 Why Kazuki chose to have the potentially interesting premise of a world without books told through the eyes of a sickly child is beyond me。 In truth， I couldn't quite deal with the story so I skimmed the last half。 I found Myne to be tedious and annoying and reading the book was like listening to a 5 year old tell a story。。。because that is exactly what it is。 Why Kazuki chose to have the potentially interesting premise of a world without books told through the eyes of a sickly child is beyond me。 。。。more

Well it's kinda hard to believe there is a world where books are a rare commodity。 The story is about a girl who is obsess over books and being an avid reader I can totally relate to this。 Just imagine a world with this kind of settings！ So it is understandable when the girl try to make her own paper and ink。 It was an interesting story overall。 A simple plot yet still there are heartwarming moments in her everyday life。 This book somehow makes me appreciate the paper and ink invention throughou Well it's kinda hard to believe there is a world where books are a rare commodity。 The story is about a girl who is obsess over books and being an avid reader I can totally relate to this。 Just imagine a world with this kind of settings！ So it is understandable when the girl try to make her own paper and ink。 It was an interesting story overall。 A simple plot yet still there are heartwarming moments in her everyday life。 This book somehow makes me appreciate the paper and ink invention throughout the human history。 Thank you for your hard work！ 。。。more
